State Department Snubs Congressional Concerns

As we noted at the time, the document purported to explain who DOS considers a firearm “manufacturer” for purposes of a complex morass of federal laws (including the Arms Export Control Act and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations) that deal with the export of “defense articles.”

The question is very important for gunsmiths and others who repair, modify, or work on firearms, because “manufacturers” (even those who don’t export or intend to export) have to pay a stiff “registration” fee of $2,250 per year and deal with various sorts of bureaucratic red tape. These requirements are enough to drive some small operators out of business.
