Gun Control & RKBA
Related: About this forumX post from the other forum: " Guns are also exempt from the Consumer Product Safety Act."
It never ceases to amaze me how ignorant controllers are of existing laws. Yes guns are exempt from the CPSA. So are food, drugs, airplanes and cars. It is not complicated - only one agency will have regulatory control over a particular thing. The CPSA is for all those items not assigned to another regulatory agency. The ATF regulates guns.
The CPSA excludes from CPSC's jurisdiction those products that expressly lie in another federal agency's jurisdiction, for example food, drugs, cosmetics, medical devices, tobacco products, firearms and ammunition, motor vehicles, pesticides, aircraft, and boats. These products may fall under the purview of agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Department of Transportation, the U.S. Environment Protection Agency, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, and the U.S. Coast Guard.

The controller side would tell half truths to try and fool people. Seems to be how they work.
