Summary: The commenter supports the proposed rule to remove the Youth Handgun Safety Act notice requirement, arguing that the ATF lacks the statutory authority to mandate the distribution of such notices. They state that the rule correctly removes an unauthorized administrative requirement without affecting the YHSA's substantive provisions.
I support this proposed rule. ATF's regulatory authority must be limited to what Congress has actually authorized, and the GCA does not require FFLs to distribute paper Youth Handgun Safety Act notices with every handgun sale. [Add your perspective — e.g., "As an FFL, I support eliminating regulatory mandates that have no statutory basis and impose costs without improving compliance" or "As a gun owner who values constitutional government, I support ATF removing requirements it lacked authority to impose in the first place."] The YHSA's substantive provisions remain in effect. This rule correctly removes an unauthorized administrative add-on. I urge ATF to finalize it. RIN 1140-AA87.
