Closing a Gun Control Loophole

There was a little-remarked change to the procedures for buying Title II weapons (machine guns, silencers, etc.): Formerly, one had to have the application signed off by the chief law enforcement officer in one's jurisdiction. That let to a lot of de facto gun bans, where the Chief Fuzzy would just refuse to sign any of them. Or any that weren't pushed by major political donors.

That just went away. The change becomes effective in six months. Now the Head Cop only gets a courtesy copy of the application.

Now. let's get the Hearing Protection Act passed.
