Comment on FR Doc # 2026-09163

I support the proposed rule clarifying that firearm barrels and frames/receivers capable of use in both sporting and non-sporting configurations may be lawfully imported if a valid sporting configuration exists at the time of importation. As a Michigan gun owner who works with imported firearm components for lawful builds, the current ambiguity in this area creates legal uncertainty for responsible enthusiasts who are simply exercising their Second Amendment rights with legally sourced parts. Importers of parts with legitimate dual-use applications should not face regulatory ambiguity that chills lawful commerce. I urge ATF to finalize this rule with language that is consistent with the statutory text of the Gun Control Act's importation framework and that is robust enough to survive APA challenge. I also note that this rule should be interpreted consistently with any final resolution of the Supreme Court's frames-and-receivers jurisprudence — regulatory definitions of what constitutes a controlled component must be stable, clear, and textually grounded.
