All changes will be in the federal register, so if there is anything missing from the page, you could find it in the register without much trouble.

They list all 36 things, but the majority of them are basically clerical updates, like removing the requirement for forms to be submitted in triplicate because copy machines (and scanners) exist.

Also, making bootleg vape cartridges get treated the same way as bootleg cigarettes.

Most of the changes (and I read through all of them) are mostly neutral updates that are more about clarifying policies and updating stuff thats outdated. There is some negative stuff, like adhering to the “gender ideology” executive order on forms.

Despite what republicans claim, Trump isnt really a gun rights guy. In fact, one of the rules being scrapped is his rule against bump stocks from his first term, because it was ruled against by the courts.

If you read the proposed change, basically it comes down to the fact that the ATF took the definition of “mentally defective” from other government sources, specifically, Veterans Affairs.

That definition includes people, for example, who are incapable of managing their own finances, but have no other indications of being a danger to themselves or others.

scrapping more than three dozen firearms regulations

I can’t stand how journalists will write something like that and then not include an itemized list.

Yes, they give some examples, but I want the whole list without having to dig through the federal register myself.

It matters because some of it is bad, while some is neutral, and some is good.

I actually looked it up myself on the ATF’s website, which is actually really well set up.

There are only 4 rules that are being “scrapped”, and they aren’t even actually full rules being removed, just altered. 3 of them are to conform with court cases. The only 1 they are removing on their own is a rule that was meant to be temporary to inform people of a rule change back in the 90’s (making pistols only 21+). Since that change is 30 years old, now, it isnt new, so there’s no need to pretend it is.
