Author Michael Z. Williamson posted a blog on Feb. 16 which included this question:
"With BATFE moving from Treasury Dept to Justice Dept under Homeland Security, should the federal firearm laws be relocated from Title 18 USC to Title 10 USC? Why or why not?"
(Link to whole blog: http://www.michaelzwilliamson.com/blog/)
His blog is an entertaining challenge to those who are calling for more gun control, but since I have no legal training, I really don't understand the question. Google tells me that Title 10 USC outlines the role of the armed forces, and that Title 18 USC deals with crimes and criminal procedure, but my ignorance takes over at that point.
If anyone would care to help, I would appreciate it.
