ATF Shotgun Study

The ‘study’s’ list of responses is full of spam and other oddities.

  1. Tailgun Says:

    I’m very upset by this. I understand that it was open for “public comment” but they made no effort to scrub contact info from the messages. I’m also very disappointed to see that the list only shows 516 responses. I told a lot of people and it looks like no one cared.

  2. Standard Mischief Says:

    Tailgun, they’re not all there. Trust me on this.

  3. Link P Says:

    Some of the responses exceed one page and there is never more than one email per page, so the total published is under 516, which includes spam emails the ATF Shotgun Study inbox received. I know these definitely are not all of the responses, as many people I have talked to have confirmed receiving an acknowledgment email such as I was sent, and neither my response, or theirs are present in the PDF.

    Of the responses I have read so far (almost 10% at this time), all are encouraging. There is room for education concerning bayonet lugs on shotguns among some respondents, but others have actually written good justification of bayonet lugs.

    What has impressed me the most is the number of responses pointing out the the sporting purposes language of the GCA ’68 does not likely pass Constitutional muster, especially in light of the Heller & McDonald decisions.

    Another excellent point was made on the number of USPSA participants versus the number of curling participants, and the fact that curling, while having less participants is a recognized Olympic sport. I find the sporting purposes argument illegitimate, but still can appreciate that rebuttal.

    In case you guys missed it, this is not an isolated incident. Did you comment on the “multiple rifle sales reporting” rule a while back? See if you can find your email http://www.atf.gov/about/foia/atf-submissions-for-public-comment.html“>here

    If you read the federal register, that is the way most agencies do public comments. They generally don’t edit out personal info.

    e.g. the SEC does exactly the same

    http://www.sec.gov/spotlight/regreformcomments.shtml

    The Commission will post all submissions on this page of the Commission’s Internet Web site. All submissions received will be posted without change; we do not edit personal identifying information from submissions. You should only make submissions that you wish to make available publicly.

    and the USDA

    All comments submitted in response to this proposed rule will be included in the record and will be made available to the public. Please be advised that the substance of the comments and the identity of the individuals or entities submitting the comments will be subject to public disclosure.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
