Don't be fooled. They don't give a shite about stopping crime. The progressives in ALL of our governments want to stop commerce in firearms and components completely other than for LE and military use. There is a plan here in the USAto move much of what we deal in from the ITAR to EAR which is controlled by US Department of Commerce. The licensing requirements are just as stringent but it's being made out as a huge relaxation of restrictions which is an outright lie. One Demoncrat senator named Bob Menendez in New Jersey is holding the transition up again. He did it last February and has done it again in November. I've been dealing with all of these entities for 22 years and DoC, (who control the EAR), is an excellent branch of our government who work hard to make it more efficient for us to do business with our cross border friends. Unfortunately, DoS, (ITAR), charge a huge yearly fee and do their best to throw wrenches into the machine every chance they get. It's pure, deep state politics and arrogance. A real shame. Fingers crossed that we will eventually get the transition in place.
