BATFE vs. Plain Language Law

 Received by email from WarOnGuns Correspondent DDS:

In attempting to make sense of the lawyerese in the BATFE's new frameand receiver rule, I was not accomplishing much more than giving myselfa headache.I'm a retired telephone man, not a lawyer.  But I had an understandingthat there was a requirement that the law needed to be written so thatan ordinary citizen could understand it.  How else can you require anordinary citizen to comply with a law?While looking for that, I found this:https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.plainlanguage.gov%2Flaw%2F&data=05%7C01%7C%7Ccfb4209546da433ca68808daa5e72293%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638004709376520225%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=YFIxzxZHW%2BRDPoRsXL45qD2bffvSHf4uA9WQ5N%2FeeBM%3D&reserved=0If BATFE has such a "plain language" web page, I was unable to find it.As always, thanks for the work you do for the 2A community.

I could not do that.
