Interstate Transport and Temporary Export of National Firearms Act Firearms

An individual is expressing strong support for the proposed rule to eliminate the requirement for advance ATF approval when transporting NFA-regulated firearms for short-term purposes. The commenter argues that the current requirement is an unconstitutional prior restraint that lacks historical basis and burdens law-abiding citizens without improving public safety.

Garioun Martin supports the proposed rule, stating that it simplifies the process for traveling with legally owned firearms and protects his rights against states with restrictive laws. He specifically highlights the "Pass-Through" interstate transportation portion as a much-needed provision for spontaneous travel.

An individual commenter supports the proposal to eliminate advance notice and approval requirements for the short-term interstate transportation of lawfully registered NFA firearms. They argue that owners should not need federal permission to travel with legally possessed property and urge the agency to further minimize reporting requirements.

An individual commenter supports the proposed action, arguing that it would reduce the "disgusting" legal hurdles and administrative burdens placed on lawful NFA firearm owners. They contend that the change would simplify travel for multi-state property owners and allow law enforcement to focus resources on actual problems rather than "rubber stamping" lawful activities.

A law-abiding firearm owner supports the proposed rule to eliminate the ATF Form 5320.20 requirement for short-term interstate travel with NFA items. The commenter argues that the current process is a redundant administrative burden that hinders travel and training without providing any tangible public safety benefits.

The commenter, a private individual, supports the proposed change to eliminate the ATF Form 5320 requirement for the temporary transport of NFA items. They argue that the current requirement creates unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles for law-abiding owners, hinders interstate commerce and tourism, and would allow the ATF to focus resources on higher-priority enforcement.

The commenter supports the proposed rule because it reduces administrative burdens for lawful firearm owners who need to transport NFA firearms across state lines for activities like hunting or travel. They argue that removing the advance approval requirement for short-term transport is a practical modernization that improves quality of life without compromising public safety.
