Repeatedly beaten back in efforts at augmented gun control, proponents of federal firearms registration have recently attempted a series of end-runs around the Congress.
The essence of this approach is to have some federal agency or other require by bureaucratic edict things that cannot be done by vote of Congress: strict control of guns or ammunition, illegalization of hunting, centralized firearms registration, and the like. Because the network of federal regulations covering our society has grown so thick, the number of avenues by which maneuvers of this sort may be essayed is virtually endless.
