Just this past summer, the ATF declared that it will start treating nitrocellulose as an explosive. According to the bureau, the material’s presence in the smokeless powders used by ammo means it falls within its purview. Such a move represented a departure from long-standing ATF policy that specifically exempted nitrocellulose from federal regulation and threatened to make it even more difficult to obtain ammo in the US, but the National Rifle Association stepped up to the plate and challenged the agency’s decision.
Upon hearing of the ATF’s announcement, the NRA made it clear that the decision to classify nitrocellulose as an explosive would cause havoc not just for gun manufacturers but gun owners as well. After hearing these concerns, the agency decided to delay the action for the time being. Although it is possible that they may still introduce it in the future, Second Amendment advocates should nevertheless celebrate this unexpected victory:
“NRA and industry raised these concerns to ATF and any change in ATF’s treatment of nitrocellulose is now officially delayed. In an addendum to the earlier newsletter, ATF announced that it ‘will conduct further industry outreach concerning wetted Nitrocellulose. In the interim, previously authorized industry practices concerning wetted Nitrocellulose will not be affected.'”
