Summary: The commenter opposes the proposed rule, arguing that it creates loopholes for criminal actors and straw purchasers by exempting unlicensed sellers from background checks and record-keeping. They advocate for stricter gun laws rather than the proposed simplifications.
I am writing to OPPOSE the proposed rule RIN 1140-AB01. Unlicensed sellers are not required to
conduct background checks or maintain transaction records, creating pathways for criminal actors
and straw purchasers. This is not a simplification of existing law; this would exploit loopholes making it
far easier for bad actors to purchase and traffic weapons. We need stricter, not more lax gun laws.
