Summary: The commenter opposes the proposed rule because they believe allowing direct shipping of firearms will harm small local shops and replace human judgment with automated systems. They argue that the current in-person system is more effective for building trust and preventing bad sales.
The current in-person system for buying guns works well, so why change it? This plan to allow shipping standard firearms straight to homes will kill small, local shops. Right now, store owners build trust in their towns and stop bad sales that a computer screen never would. Big online sellers don't care about our neighbors; they just want the profit. Even worse, the plan forces folks to pay an extra seven-dollar fee for identity checks just to get a gun at their door. The government should not replace human judgment with a system that has no real approval. Please remove the parts of this rule that allow direct shipping for standard firearms.
