Regarding a change in the law, I didn't see any reference date associated with the link at all.
BATF agents generally don't take enforcement action against hobby black powder makers. Where's the notice or documentation of a law change in Feb., 2010 as being claimed?

Ask the guy on the other forum who told you about it to provide a reference.
