Comment on FR Doc # 2026-08919

I oppose this proposed rule as written and urge ATF to completely rescind the Biden "Engaged in the Business" framework in its entirety rather than issuing a partial replacement that preserves the same legal theories. A federal court already rejected in Texas v. ATF. "I recently helped a cousin administer her Dad's estate, that included her father's firearm collection. The retained provisions of this rule could expose innocent assisting estate administrators like me to prosecution as unlicensed dealers. Specifically, I urge ATF to: (1) rescind all retained sections of the 2024 Biden rule, including any provisions allowing routine personal collection activities to be used as evidence of unlicensed dealing; (2) eliminate the assertion that intent alone is sufficient to establish unlicensed dealing, a theory the Texas court rejected; (3) issue a new rule that follows the plain statutory language of federal law and the limits Congress imposed; and (4) clearly reject all legal theories already vacated by federal courts. A rule that survives in fragments still threatens the same law-abiding Americans that it targeted from the start.(The ONLY acceptable action is to RESCIND ALL SECTIONS OF THIS RULE!) RIN 1140-AB01.
