The Obama administration on April 29 announced it will seek another round of comments on its proposal to require gun dealers in four states on the U.S.-Mexico border to report the sale of multiple rifles.
Under the proposal, dealers would have to report sales of two or more rifles to the same person at one time or during any five business days if the rifles are semi-automatic, have detachable magazines and are a caliber greater than .22.
The proposal was published in the Federal Register on April 29 seeking comments for 30 days. It was initially published in December and had a 60-day comment period that garnered almost 13,000 responses. About 30 percent opposed the reporting requirement and 70 percent favored it, ATF said.
The reporting requirement is a bid to curb the flow of guns into Mexico, where drug cartels are at war. The ATF maintains guns purchased in Arizona, Texas, New Mexico and California are fueling the violence.
Second Amendment advocates see the requirement as a ruse by the Obama administration to use the violence in Mexico as a pretext to clamp down on gun sales -- especially in the wake of revelations that the agency itself was orchestrating illegal gun sales as part of its 'Project Gunrunner' fiasco.

Once again the democrats are going to infringe upon the rights of the law abiding gun owner.

Once again the democrats are up to their infringement upon law abiding gun owners.
It didn't fly the first time, so they will ram it down our throats, whether it works or not as a way of getting the camel's nose under the tent.

This isn't going to accomplish anything. Unless they are willing to put an expiration date on it I believe it will gradually spread to other states. I don't think the ATF has the authority to regulate this on a state by state basis.
You will notice that the requirement is only to report the sale of more than 2 rifles in any 5 day period. I don't see how that can interfere with anyone who can purchase them legally. The government would already know about the sales so what's the problem. If it helps keep the guns out of the hands of criminals its a good thing.

My take is that the BATF has a long history of trying to make business reporting requirements burdensome and invasive. This is all in an effort to force many dealers who finally tire of it out of the business. We have gone from a nation of riflemen to one of arm chair X box marksmen. If you can reduce the availability of firearms the logic goes with it fewer will be sold- It is also discriminatory that they are targeting a handful of border states, one of which I hail from- 2 guns? Election 2012 does not come soon enough
Report the sale of multiple rifles. Yeah sure let's do that again, it worked pretty good the first time, should work that much better the second time. We all know the BATFE is behind that idea a 100%. Sure the drug cartels approve of reporting multiple rifle sales too, worked out great for them.
I'm looking forward to November 2012.
