A letter has been sent to John Kerry, signed by 28 US Senators, on Agust 3rd, demanding that we firearms owners and gunsmiths free speech be protected while on the internet. They stated that this new redefining of wording "represents a prior restraint of free speech and lacks the necessary constitutional protections for such free speech". It ends by stating that "we urge the State Department to modify or delay these misguided changes to the ITAR".
