who wrote that ridiculous title? this is a good example of legislating from the bench. atfs job is to enforce the law - not create law. wonder what will happen to gun store owners who don't comply? will atf come up with arbitrary fines and jail time too? in turn, will this be supported by a judge who thinks "it's reasonable."?

i'm with jerry. your headline is very misleading. the atf has imposed a regulation without the proper authority. any problem with gun sales in the border states appear to have been caused by the atf.

"gun lobby suffers rare setback in fight to sell weapons to drug cartels" your headline implies that the 'gun lobby' is fighting to sell weapons to drug cartels. in reality, the chief of the criminal division in the u.s. attorney's office in arizona, patrick j. cunningham, has pleaded the fifth to the congressional investigation into the atf program which deliberately sold guns to drug cartels. this isn't just a case of your article having a gramatical error which may mislead the reader, but the writer of the piece living in la-la land when it comes to the facts.
