Summary: The commenter opposes the proposed regulations, arguing that the ATF should rescind the 2024 Biden rule and instead issue a new rule that strictly follows plain statutory language and respects limits imposed by Congress. They specifically advocate for removing provisions that use personal collection activities or intent alone as evidence of unlicensed dealing.
I think ATF should: (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; (3) issue a new rule that follows the plain statutory language of federal law and the limits Congress imposed; and (4) reject all legal theories already vacated by federal courts.
