We have a (R) Congress and an (R) Senate.

Time to put a bill in front of the Oslammer repealing the entire "sporting purpose" nonsense anyway, since the enforcement is entirely arbitrary and capricious. If the (R)'s are smart, they'll embed it in another bill that must get signed, however, even forcing a veto is better than not acting at all.

BTW, other federal agencies have to post a "Notice of Proposed Rulemaking" (NPRM, pronounced as "Nap-rim") in the Federal Register before any regulatory changes. Congress created the requirement to enlighten agencies — that is, to force them to listen to comments and concerns of people whom the regulation will likely affect. The BATFer announcement reads like an absolute, subjective, political joke compared to the serious NAPRM's I've had the duty to review from other federal agencies.

Also, every regulatory change is required by law to publish a cost-benefit analysis and an estimate of the paperwork and other regulatory burden imposed upon the affected people. This clearly does not comply.

So other than this press release, what the heck are the BATFers doing?
