Reversing an interpretation of the Gun Control Act that has been on the books for more than four decades, ATF today posted a ruling declaring any shipment of a firearm by a manufacturer (FFL) to any agent or business (e.g., an engineering-design firm, patent lawyer, testing lab, gun writer, etc.) for a bona fide business purpose to be a "transfer" under the Gun Control Act of 1968. As a consequence, legitimate business-related shipments will now require the recipient to complete a Form 4473 and undergo a Brady criminal background check. In many instances, these requirements will force shipments to a third party, thereby lengthening the process and the time that the firearm is in transit.
Emphaiss added. More delays, more expense, more paperwork, more red tape. Basically, they want a check at every state of a transfer. Why? Because they can.
Read the rest, it seems that after 40 years the ATF just happened to reverse their own ruling.
That'll show you bitter clingers to try to exercise your rights.
