Summary: The commenter supports the proposed changes, arguing that they remove unnecessary administrative burdens for both regulators and citizens. They contend that modern technology makes ownership verification straightforward and that the current system provides no benefit to law enforcement while frustrating owners.
The proposed changes remove a substantial administrative burden from both regulators and citizens. With modern communications and database technologies, it is a straightforward process to verify ownership of NFA items regardless of what state they happen to be in. The current scheme provides no benefit to law enforcement, costs money and time, and frustrates owners of NFA items who have already gone through substantial legal and administrative hurdles to acquire those items.
