ATF Universal Background Check Rule Receives Thousands of Identical Supporting Comments
Mr. Scoggin and AmmoLand News investigated the comments to see why the statistics are so lopsided in favor of the new rule. The discovery shows that the vast majority of the comments favoring the ATF proposed rule were identical.
The comment period is still open and Ammoland has provided a LINK to the Federal Register comment section as well as the prepared reply below, which you may cut and paste or write your own comments. Still some time to offset the Brady attempt to stuff the ballot box. Please click on link above and file your comments, it takes less than a minute to do so, I just did.
Regards,I strongly oppose the proposed rule that redefines who is “engaged in the business” of selling firearms. The new rule will burden American gun owners by creating a grey area where they can inadvertently break the law.
The new requirement circumvents Congress by creating a de facto universal background check rule. Congress has chosen to leave background check laws for private gun sales to the state governments. This rule will override the authority of the states with overburdensome federal regulations and strip state’s rights.
The regulation will not make us any safer. The vast majority of guns used in crimes are stolen. States that have enacted universal background checks did not see any reduction of crimes committed with firearms. I strongly encourage the government to work on real solutions to solve the epidemic of violent crime and stop using firearms as a scapegoat for failed policies.
