Summary: The commenter opposes the proposed rule because they believe it removes the personal oversight provided by local shops and replaces rigorous background checks with less stringent requirements for direct shipping. They request that the rule be amended to strike the direct-shipping provisions for standard firearms.
Local shops keep our towns safe because owners see who walks through the door and can stop a bad sale before it happens. This rule kills that personal connection by letting people buy guns online and have them shipped to their front porch. Under current law, getting a firearm sent to your home requires prints, photos, and a clear "yes" from the government. This new plan just swaps that for a video call and a notice to the police. It skips the real human approval needed for safety. Please strike the direct-shipping parts for standard guns from this rule so our local shops can keep doing their jobs.
