Operation Blazing Sword, Inc. (specifically its Pink Pistols division) opposes the ATF's directive requiring firearm purchasers to identify by biological sex on Form 4473. They argue that the requirement creates a "Catch-22" for transgender and non-binary individuals, potentially leading to legal complications and disenfranchising a minority group from exercising their Second Amendment rights.

The commenter opposes the proposed change to ATF forms, arguing that it effectively bans transgender individuals from purchasing firearms. They contend that gender or biological sex should not be a factor in firearm ownership and that the rule would unfairly impact law-abiding citizens whose legal documents do not match their birth certificates.
