Safe Explosives Act... You're Thoughts?

Double J · April 10, 2009, 04:27 PM

Just recieved a paper from the ATF&E. A paragraph goes like this..."Beginning May 24, 2003, all persons receiving explosive materials must have a Federal explosives license or permit. Thus, you may no longer distribute explosive materials to non-licensees or non-permittees after that date."
Does this ban the sale of Black Powder to individuals by a legal dealer in B-P?
Why does the ATF&E wait SIX YEARS to tell us these things?

You do not need a license to buy bp or even buy it online and have it shipped. You do have to pay a 20.00 hazmat fee per shipment to have it shipped.

The ATF does not have the authority to regulate ammonium nitrate, binary explosives and black powder in quantities of less than 50 pounds
