Summary: The commenter opposes the proposed rule because it removes the pre-travel approval requirement for machine guns, short-barreled rifles, and destructive devices. They argue that maintaining government oversight is necessary for public safety and to prevent these weapons from entering prohibited areas.
I am writing to OPPOSE the proposed rule RIN 1140-AA89. Removing the pre-travel approval requirement means owners of machine guns, short-barreled rifles, and destructive devices can cross state lines with these weapons without any prior government review. Public safety should take priority over convenience by maintaining strong oversight of how these weapons move across state lines and ensuring they do not end up in places where they are prohibited.
