    Amazing! I can’t believe after all this time someone finally passed this common sense legislation.

      The legislation that directed these rules to be written was actually passed by Congress a few years ago.

      It takes quite some time for new federal regulations to be written and enacted, with lengthy public comment periods.

      This won’t actually do anything from my understanding though. I thought this wasn’t going to change the private sales between people walking around gun shows from selling to each other, just the vendors in booths who are already required to do back ground checks.
