When George W. Bush couldn’t get a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage, he gave up. Obama isn’t Bush, he doesn’t respect the process, which is why he’ll let unelected bureaucrats run wild.
According to a report by The Hill, The White House and ATF are teaming up to draft new regulations that would put additional burdens on gun manufacturers, distributors and retailers.
…
Currently, gun dealers with a federal license are required to tell federal agents after they discover a firearm has gone missing, but they aren’t required to do routine checks.
“They can discover a gun missing today and have no idea when it went missing, which really makes that information useless to law enforcement,” said Chelsea Parsons, associate director of crime and firearms policy at the Center for American Progress.
So, it’s OK for the ATF to sellguns to drug cartels or lose machine guns during botched operations, yet the regulators aren’t regulating themselves, they’re regulating us. As GunsSaveLives.net puts it:
Whatever these regulations end up being, one thing is certain, they will likely create additional burdens and “gotchas” for gun manufacturers, retailers and distributors. Those businesses are already subject to an enormous amount of regulation and red tape.

Exactly. These laws aren’t about protecting the public, it’s just gun dealer harassment. Legislative bullying by unelected bureaucrats, this is why sometimes libertarians sound like anarchists, it’s not that we don’t believe in law and order, we simply know that sometimes laws are created to punish people and entities the government hates.
