A white paper recently out from the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives suggests that the agency is ready to support legislative reforms to potions of the National Firearms Act.
In a move that could signal the 2nd Amendment renaissance many conservatives hoped for under the Trump administration, top ATF officials are urging a new look at regulations on firearm suppressors and import bans and regulations for certain firearms.
The recently-released white paper, authored by ATF second-in-command Ronald Turk, says the agency is interested in reforms that promote commerce and defend the Second Amendment without significant negative impact on ATF’s mission to fight violent firearms crime and regulate the firearms industry.” |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
