In regards to the EPA, each new regulation in my field limits the playing field and redistributes more wealth. If you're a bureaucrat you could claim it helped creates secondary and tertiary jobs.
The political pressure comes from big corporations using political tools to restrict their competitors and grab market share. You also have manufacturers lobbying for some cause that will benefit their product. In addition to all that you have architects and engineers working on behalf Big Corp.....which is similar to academics getting paid to back up a certain theory.
And lastly you have the ICC Experts (similar to our politicians), who have a job because of code changes. If the code doesn't change or municipalities don't adopt new code they have no reason to exist. I think it was 2009 when ICC laid off like 40% of their staff because the changes in code were so few that municipalities remained on the older code...fewer code book sales.....fewer classes....etc.
As for the ATF, it takes no thought to know the Brady Bunch, DoJ & Holdar would love to see extreme enforcement of FFL's. But after reading JJ comments the first thought that came to my mind was Freedom Group and/or another similar group that has a huge investment, is looking for a return and additional market share.
Both EPA and the ATF are slowly pushing people towards the edge.....who is John Galt
