Comment on FR Doc # 2026-09165

Re: Removing Youth Handgun Safety Act Notice (2026-09165) I strongly support the proposed removal of the Youth Handgun Safety Act notice requirements. In practice, these notice requirements provide little meaningful public safety value while creating additional administrative burdens and compliance risks for dealers. Federal firearms licensees are already subject to extensive recordkeeping, signage, procedural, and regulatory obligations. Requirements such as mandatory posting and distribution of additional notices increase complexity without significantly improving safety outcomes. In addition, firearm safety education is already widely available through manufacturers, instructors, training programs, retailers, hunter education programs, and responsible firearm owners themselves. Most customers purchasing firearms are already aware of the importance of safely storing firearms away from unauthorized access by minors. Removing this requirement would modestly simplify compliance obligations for FFLs while allowing ATF and licensees to focus attention on regulations and enforcement priorities that have a more direct impact on public safety and criminal misuse of firearms. I strongly support this proposed rule and encourage ATF to continue reviewing outdated or unnecessarily burdensome administrative requirements that impose costs and compliance risks without corresponding public safety benefits. Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on this proposed rule.
