I choose the third option, Neither. We don't need, want or require regulation. The 2A gave us all the regulation required regarding firearms.I agree with you. Just one thing I wonder about. Is there a law that gives the ATF the authority to regulate things via policy? For example DoD directives (memos) are a matter of law. When a general or SES sends out a memo, it's a matter of law. I wonder if they gave the ATF that same power via statute.
Then think of it another way. Who would you rather interpreting things and deciding. Diane "the shoulder thing that goes up" Feinstein when talking about a barrel shroud for a shotgun or more gun savvy ATF? I'm not defending them by ANY means. I just giving food for thought. They are the lesser of 2 evils and I'd bet they have statutory authority to regulate via policy. They have Attorneys on staff and US Attorneys to consult. They have more education and experience with law than any of us. Not as much common sense but more legal knowledge.
