Yes Tipple got in the shit for breaching ITAR basically, as I understand it.
I can understand hunters and casual shooters thinking "whats wrong with registration? It isn't that big of an inconvenience". My answer to that is it would be a huge inconvenience for guys like me and some of my friends who buy, sell and trade firearms often. It is enough of a pain in the ass having to get mail order forms and import permits, if the AO isn't in, I'm shit out of luck. I recently tried to jack up custody of an AR from gimp, by the time I got the permit to procure, he was leaving the country, the P2P expires next month so it has basically torpedoed our plans. FUCK having to deal with crap like that for every gun I sell or take possession of. That is the number one reason I am against universal registration. All good if you buy a rifle once a year...or a decade.
