Summary: The commenter opposes the proposed rule because it removes human judgment from firearm sales and allows for direct shipping of standard firearms. They argue that local shops provide essential safety training and community trust that online retailers cannot replicate.
Under this rule, no one ever has to say yes to a gun sale. Current NFA rules require the government to check fingerprints and give real approval. This new plan for standard guns only needs a computer to look at a photo and a waiting period after police get a notice. It removes the human judgment that local shops provide. These dealers teach safety and build trust in the neighborhood. They cannot survive if big companies ship guns straight to doors. Small shops keep communities safer than websites ever could. Please strike the sections of the rule that allow direct shipping of standard firearms.
