Commentary: ATF Rule Change Creates a Trap for the Unwary
On Friday, the 31st anniversary of the massacre of Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas, the ATF issued new regulations that make it more difficult to comply with federal laws regulating gun dealing and background checks.
Since the 1930s, federal law has required gun dealers to be registered as Federal Firearms Licensees (FFL). The requirements hinged on the meaning of "engaged in the business of" gun dealing. This language has always been ambiguous, and there has never been (even after the announcement of the new rules) a true "bright line" that distinguishes when one graduates from selling a few guns from one’s personal collection into full-fledged gun dealing.

Music Spotlight: Presley Tennant
One thing I have learned about TV singing shows is that the finalists are nearly always as good (if not better) as the actual winner. So, I try to interview as many country singers from these shows as possible.
Presley Tennant is a powerhouse singer from Norco, California, a horse town that is 35 miles east of Los Angeles. She was a finalist on Season 16 of NBC’s The Voice in 2019 when she was just 16. She has often been compared to Whitney Houston and Carrie Underwood.
