It\u2019s crucial to inform both the ATF and future judges of the rule\u2019s impracticality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From <em>NRA-ILA<\/em>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>In truth, however, ATF has neither the resources nor the intent of handling the massive increase in FFLs the proposed rule predicts would result if its terms were adopted. Instead, the proposal is a transparent attempt to strong-arm Internet service providers, gun shows, technology platforms, and other facilitators to abandon any involvement in private gun sales with vague threats of \u201cadministrative action\u201d for non-compliance. Meanwhile, the cartels, gang members, firearm smugglers, and violent sociopaths Congress had in mind when passing the law that supposedly enables the proposal will be entirely unaffected. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-what-the-rule-proposes\"><strong>5. What the Rule Proposes<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Biden ATF wants to expand the criteria for firearm seller registration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will bring the U.S. closer to &#8220;universal background checks.\u201d It will also deter private gun sales and chill the 2A rights of law-abiding gun owners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-concerns-with-the-current-framework\"><strong>6. Concerns with the Current Framework<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ATF\u2019s framework involves presumptions around dealing in firearms. These presumptions are not rooted in federal statute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ATF admits these won&#8217;t apply in criminal cases, making them ineffective against criminal entities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As <em>NRA-ILA<\/em> noted: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>As we\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nraila.org\/articles\/20230906\/biden-admin-oversteps-authority-to-attack-law-abiding-gun-owners-again\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"urgent-action-needed-comment-period-open-on-bidens-illegal-background-check-rulemaking\" title=\"Urgent Action Needed! Comment Period Open on Biden\u2019s Illegal Background Check Rulemaking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">explained in our earlier article<\/a>, however, ATF\u2019s version of that framework involves a series of presumptions for both who is \u201cengaged in the business\u201d of dealing in firearms and who intends to \u201cpredominantly earn a profit\u201d from selling guns. Yet none of these presumptions appear anywhere in federal statute and many of them concern common and entirely innocent conduct. Incredibly, ATF itself even admits that the presumptions would not apply in criminal cases, meaning the rulemaking is irrelevant to the most dangerous elements of society, while it still could be used to intimidate those who are inclined to follow the law.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-making-effective-comments\"><strong>7. Making Effective Comments<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For impactful comments, avoid overly emotional language. Highlight inconsistencies or areas where the rule might target innocent activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discuss whether ATF\u2019s estimated figures or the practicalities of the rule are accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-what-to-include-in-comments\"><strong>8. What to Include in Comments<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Comment on the rule\u2019s language, its feasibility, and its public safety implications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Address ATF\u2019s estimates and the realities of private firearm sales. Be specific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-commenter-privacy\"><strong>9. Commenter Privacy<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can choose to remain anonymous when commenting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-10-final-note\"><strong>10. Final Note<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, the comment window is short. ATF is legally bound to respond to meaningful comments. It&#8217;s crucial to challenge this overreaching and flawed proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"urgent-action-needed-comment-period-open-on-bidens-illegal-background-check-rulemaking\" title=\"Urgent Action Needed!
