Summary: The commenter opposes the proposed rule because they believe removing the pre-travel approval requirement for certain firearms poses a public safety risk. They argue that maintaining oversight is necessary to prevent illegal trafficking and the movement of weapons into prohibited areas.
I am writing to OPPOSE the proposed rule RIN 1140-AA89. Removing the pre-travel approval
requirement means owners of machine guns, short-barreled rifles, and destructive devices can cross
state lines with these weapons without any prior government review. Public safety should take
priority over convenience by maintaining strong oversight of how these weapons move across state
lines and ensuring they do not end up in places where they are prohibited. If you allow this rule change, you will be helping illegal gun dealers to traffic more weapons that gangs will use to kill civilians and police in countries like Haiti and Mexico. Please do NOT allow this rule change. Thank you.
