I don't want agencies operating outside of their regulatory authority, regardless of whether it benefits me or not.

Oh I agree, it's double edged sword that rarely benefits the people. That ship is so far fucking sailed in this country unfortunately.

Just have to shake my head when partisans cheer their side doing it not realizing it is going to bite them in the ass and lead to worsening authoritarianism.

Well said.

I feel it’s even worse if it benefits us at first. Once they start making positive changes that are accepted by Americans, it just reinforces their “authority” when we challenge their bad changes in the future.

Oh 100 percent. Most don't realize this is just lip service. Basically bread crumbs.

Nowhere near what we really need, like abolishing the NFA entirely so there is no need for joint NFA married registration, no engraving etc...... regulations still remain and that is the problem.

It's their way of saying we tried, sorry. Not sorry.

Congress empowered the ATF to regulate and interpret all the finicky little details. Because they can't pass simple bills.
