I think that the article is wrong, the new ATFE "emergency" regulation applies to the whole U.S. A regulation can not apply to just some an not others. Some liberal media staff writer wants it to appear "reasonable".
And the "emergency" regulation is being put into effect by bureaucratic fiat, not an act of Congress. The Obama administration is usurping the power of Congress. That in itself is enough to be against the "emergency" regulation.
And the whole emergency is a fraud. ATFE and the Obama Administration (and everyone else in Law Enforcement) knows that the cartels' firearms in Mexico are fully automatic, and come from China. The drug cartels buy fully automatic firearms from China, and smuggle them (along with their cocaine paste) up through South America to Mexico.
So what is the ATFE and Cass Sunstein really up to? They are trying to set a precedent in American law that creating regulations in this manner is a legitimate power of the bureaucracy. Remember Rohm Emmanual said "Never waste a good emergency.
