Summary: The commenter, a retired Navy commander and gun owner, supports the proposed rulemaking to clarify interstate transportation of firearms. They argue that the rule is necessary to provide uniform protections for legal gun owners and to correct inconsistent judicial interpretations across different states.
I fully support proposed rulemaking RIN 1140-AA73. For several decades, activist judges in the Third Circuit have interpreted the Firearm Owner Protection Act to undermine its very purpose, and to negate protections for legal gun owners that Congress intended. This has disrupted FOPA’s uniformity throughout the United States and created a patchwork of inconsistent protections for those legally traveling with firearms. A traveler is entitled to uniform treatment under the law and should not be imperiled just because he or she happens to be traveling in New Jersey or any other location. Thank you for recognizing this longstanding travesty, and for fixing it with this proposed rule. I am an active member of VFW, American Legion and two Sportsman Clubs of appros 1800 members each and a lifetime gun owner and shooting enthusiast. I want to protect 2A Rights for my children and grandchildren. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
CDR-USN (Ret), Ph.D., P.E.
