The "Cromnibus" and gun laws

Posted by David Hardy · 5 January 2015 05:30 PM

I've been reading that massive enactment, after a comment a few days ago pointed out that it might affect folks who had both a firearms permit and a medical marihuana card. So far I've found three areas relating to firearms.

On p. 58, the usual appropriation riders forbidding BATF to process petitions for relief from disabilities (i.e., the dis-ability to possess firearms. And, as usual, an exception for petitions filed by corporations! Also, no money can be spent to transfer BATFE's functions to other agencies or departments.

P. 78: no more "Operation Fast and Furious" type operations.

Pp. 82-83: restrictions on agencies limiting firearm exports to Canada. And one restricting denials of permits to import curios and relics.

Pp. 272-73: Fees collected by Interior for testing nontoxic shot may be kept and spent for that testing. (Normally an agency has to turn over all fees to the government's General Fund, and hope to get them back through appropriations).

"And, as usual, an exception for petitions filed by corporations! "

Please excuse my ignorance, I am familiar with the non funding of the relief from disability but what difference does it makes who files the petition?

And why would corporations be routinely be filing such petitions?

Thank you (I hope)

I would follow up with pointing out page 88, Section 538, specifically.

What are your thoughts on whether that will have any impact upon BATFE prosecutions of gun owners who hold a prescription for medical marijuana?

If you're spending so much of your time reading that mass of junk for free, then I would like to give you my hearty thanks for contributing greatly to the benefit of humanity. If you're getting paid for it, I'd like to thank you all the same, because you're probably not getting paid as much as you deserve. And while I'm at it, I might as well thank you for all the other work you've done to make the world a better place.
