Back Door Gun Registration

This is the text of the BATF rule which requires sellers to report the sale of two or more centerfire rifles with detachable magazines within a five day period.

Unlike the lies in the press and, presumably, by BATF's public affairs weasels, the rule does not only apply to gun stores in the Southwest. The rule applies nationwide.

There are times I wonder if the Obama Administration enjoys suffering from self-inflicted injuries. This is one of those times.

UPDATE: The text of the rule seems to have been yanked from regulations.gov. No rule by the rule number of 2010-31761 is now there, but it was on Friday (12/17). The WaPo's PF document from the ATF still is available, at least as of today (12/19).
