Operation Blazing Sword, Inc. (specifically its Pink Pistols division) opposes the ATF's directive requiring firearm purchasers to identify by biological sex on Form 4473. They argue that the requirement creates a "Catch-22" for transgender and non-binary individuals, potentially leading to legal complications and disenfranchising a minority group from exercising their Second Amendment rights.

The commenter supports the proposed action of selecting biological sex on ATF forms, arguing that identification should be based on biological factors like chromosomes and genitals rather than self-identified gender identity. They contend that biological sex remains the primary identifier regardless of medical interventions or personal preferences.

The commenter, a former firearms retail employee and gun owner, opposes the proposed rule requiring "biological sex at birth" on ATF Form 4473. They argue that the requirement is dangerously vague, creates legal paradoxes for transgender or intersex individuals with amended IDs, and risks criminalizing law-abiding citizens through administrative confusion.

The commenter opposes the proposed rule, arguing that requiring "sex assigned at birth" on ATF forms is an unconstitutional violation of the Second Amendment. They express concern that the rule would cause 4473 forms to be denied for transgender, nonbinary, and some cisgender individuals whose government IDs do not match the requested information.

The commenter opposes the proposed rule requiring applicants to designate "immutable biological classification" on ATF forms, arguing it creates unnecessary friction, risks disclosing transgender status, and lacks clear notice for a rule with criminal consequences. They contend that the current system of using legal identification is sufficient and that the new requirement creates ambiguity and potential legal risks for applicants.

The commenter, identifying as a concerned citizen, opposes the proposed changes to Form 4473 because they believe it creates unreasonable administrative burdens and legal risks for Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs). They argue the rule will lead to increased compliance errors, higher costs for small businesses, and a potential loss of commerce from transgender and non-binary customers.
