Comment on FR Doc # 2026-09154

I am writing to express my strong support for the proposed rule allowing married couples to file joint applications as makers and/or transferees of NFA-regulated firearms. As a married law-abiding gun owner, I believe this change represents a common-sense reform that significantly reduces unnecessary burdens on responsible citizens without compromising public safety or NFA registration requirements. Key benefits I support: It eliminates the need for many married couples to incur hundreds of dollars in legal fees to create and maintain a trust solely for joint possession. It simplifies the process and reduces administrative complexity for everyday law-abiding Americans. Joint registration would allow transfers of possession between spouses without triggering additional Form 4 submissions, $200 transfer taxes (where applicable), and lengthy wait times. This change respects the marital unit while preserving all existing background check, registration, and compliance requirements. This proposal directly addresses a real-world problem faced by thousands of married NFA owners. It promotes efficiency at the ATF while maintaining strict oversight of NFA items. I urge you to finalize this rule as proposed. Thank you for considering this important reform that supports the rights and convenience of compliant firearm owners. Sincerely, A law abiding family and business owner
