The ATF isn’t the only federal regulatory agency that is newly dedicated to making life even more difficult and expensive for gun owners since the current occupant of the White House was inaugurated. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is also on board the hoplophobic express.

The USFWS had tried to slip in a similar ban in the last days of the Obama administration, but it was reversed when Trump took office.
