New proposed ATF powder registry

I just can't understand why they are trying to fix a problem that really doesn't exist. Making recommendations for safely storing gun powder would make sense, but please focus on the real problems we are facing.
I really feel for people that live in states and cities with heavy handed and over-reaching firearm laws. Some have no feasible choice but to stay in these areas.
 
Where are you buying powder they don't record DL? Every single powder purchase for me in CA in 20 years has been analog recorded.
I can't say for in-store CA purchases of powder; but I usually order powder and primers online and the only extras needed are paying hazmat shipping fee and having an adult sign for delivery. Nothing is registered to my knowledge. Certainly no identification is requested. Loaded ammo purchases are background checked against CA DOJ. I'm glad that you are finding in-store powder in SD. My buddy is there and needs some H4831SC.
 
I have heard some LGS that are not ordering Black Powder because there is extra paperwork. Goes along with the ATF looking for possible Terrorist using Black Powder to make IEDs.

Home Owners Insurance - I have not heard anything or see anything in our HO Policy that refers to having reloading or ammo in our home and insurance rates increasing.

Now the NFPA does have Codes/Standards for Ammo/Black Powder & Smokeless Powder Storage
NFPA 495

And the ATF gets involved.

Not to sound like I got a tinfoil hat on, but this is just another way to verify who has firearms. No much reason to have gun powder unless you have a gun.
 
No body seems to be talking about the part of the language that says magazines.
You would think that if they were only concerned about black powder then the word magazine wouldn't be used.
I can't think of any black powder firearms that use a magazine 😠

"Magazine" means a storage device like a cabinet or vault. If you have a bunch in a bunker under ground, that would be considered a Magazine.
