That's a bit disingenuous. The actual legislation doesn't mention this issue at all, and one of the co-authors has even come out and said that the ATF's reliance on that law is perversion of the intent of the legislation.

Anything involving a constitutional right should have significantly more say by elected officials and significantly less say by agency bureaucrats.
