I am writing to OPPOSE proposed rule RIN 1140-AA93. The proposed exemptions for Foreign Trade Zones & Customs Bonded Warehouses create significant regulatory blind spots. These gaps undermine international efforts to combat transnational gun trafficking, particularly from the US to Mexico, Haiti and across the Americas, enabling gun importers to use these warehouses to assemble or modify the guns before sending them to the market. Many importers circumvent rules by importing parts to be later assembled into a war gun, like popular AK-47 type weapons highly demanded by cartels and gangs. Overruling a standard import verification hampers the ability for the US and foreign authorities to trace weapons used in violent crimes. This is particularly concerning to me as a parishioner of St. Katharine Drexel Parish in Frederick, MD which has a partner relationship with a Haiti parish. Haiti is being ravaged by gangs with illegally imported firearms from the United States. Chaos reigns there because of our lax control of firearms in the United States.
