The commenter supports the proposed rule as a way to reduce the financial and logistical barriers to owning short-barreled rifles and shotguns. They argue that the change will improve the quality of life for gun owners by reducing costs, simplifying the manufacturing process, and increasing personal safety by removing identifying information from receivers.

The commenter supports the removal of the engraving requirement and advocates for the complete repeal of the Gun Control Act of 1968 and the National Firearms Act of 1934. They argue that these regulations infringe upon constitutional rights and cause undue hardship for law-abiding citizens.
