Quick support for bill to ‘slap over-reaching hand’ of ATF

The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms on Friday became the latest group to announce support for legislation introduced Wednesday by Utah Republican Congressman Rob Bishop to fix the “sporting purposes” language in the 1968 Gun Control Act; a measure that should gain plenty of traction among gun owners.

Bishop’s H.R. 2710 is being best defined by its supporters at CCRKBA, the National Shooting Sports Foundation and National Rifle Association. In a press release introducing his bill, Rep. Bishop pulled no punches about the reasons behind the legislation, which might be seen as a direct poke in the eye of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The measure may be read here.

The agency has come under increasing criticism over the past several years for such fiascos as Operation Fast and Furious in Arizona, Operation Fearless in Milwaukee and the attempt to re-classify popular ammunition for the AR-15 rifle as “armor piercing.”

“The founding fathers recognized that the right to bear arms is fundamentally tied to self-defense,” the congressman said. “This is as true today as it was over two centuries ago when the Bill of Rights was ratified. The ATF has exploited vagaries present in federal gun law to chip away at basic rights. This legislation will slap the over-reaching hand of the federal government and restore some of the freedoms our grandparents enjoyed
