This is what I have read and have a question about. Specifically this part:
⢠Eliminate restrictions that force the ATF to authorize importation of dangerous
weapons simply because of their age: ATF is required to authorize the importation of
certain âcurio or relicâ firearms, and outdated regulations include all firearms manufactured more
than 50 years ago in the definition of âcurio or relic.â But today, firearms manufactured more than
50 years ago include large numbers of semiautomatic military-surplus rifles, some of which are
easily convertible into machine guns or otherwise appealing for use in crime. Congress should
get rid of restrictions that prevent ATF from changing this definition, enabling ATF to ensure
that firearms imported as curios or relics are actually of interest as collectibles, rather than letting
these rules be used as a way to acquire fully functional and powerful military weapons.
Is this his way of stopping the import of ak variants?
