That’s a bit disingenuous. The actual legislation doesn’t mention this issue at all, and one of the co-authors has even come out and said that the ATF’s reliance on that law is perversion of the intent of the legislation.
Anything involving a constitutional right should have significantly more say by elected officials and significantly less say by agency bureaucrats.
Poverty is the real problem. Everything else is Band-Aid…which can be effective in stopping some of the bleeding. Its just the only tool the ownership class can accept
Gun ownership is growing fastest among non traditional gun owners. LGBTQ, Latinos, Black people. The problem makers have their guns, and their dads guns, and his dads guns, all passed down to them.
This won’t actually do anything from my understanding though. I thought this wasn’t going to change the private sales between people walking around gun shows from selling to each other, just the vendors in booths who are already required to do back ground checks.
Amazing! I can’t believe after all this time someone finally passed this common sense legislation.
The legislation that directed these rules to be written was actually passed by Congress a few years ago.
It takes quite some time for new federal regulations to be written and enacted, with lengthy public comment periods.

This is election year performative action with no direct effect on reducing gun crime.
Actually violent crime has been dropping consistently for decades!
There’s no correlation between the violent crime rate and firearms regulations in the US.

Owner class would love nothing more than to disarm the working class.
