Clarifying Interstate Transportation of Firearms under the Gun Control Act

The National Rifle Association of America (NRA) supports the proposed rule to clarify protections for transporting firearms under the Gun Control Act. They argue the rule correctly interprets the statute to protect law-abiding gun owners from state and local overreach, specifically regarding travel through airports and the inclusion of firearm accessories and magazines.

The commenter supports the proposed clarifications to the Gun Control Act regarding the interstate transportation of firearms. They argue that the action will protect the Second Amendment right to bear arms and prevent law-abiding owners from being targeted by arbitrary state licensing and possession schemes.

The commenter supports the proposed rule but argues for the addition of a new section requiring states to pay damages to citizens for violations of the regulation. They advocate for a presumptive payment system for these damages to be established before any hearings occur.

The commenter supports the proposed action, expressing approval for the removal of magazine and cosmetic restrictions on firearms. They argue that such restrictions are unconstitutional and lack evidence of effectiveness in preventing harm.

The commenter supports the clarification of interstate firearm transportation laws to prevent the type of injustice they describe where a citizen's Second Amendment rights were violated by authorities. They argue that the law is necessary to protect innocent citizens from "judicial aberrations" and "despicable tyrants."

The commenter opposes the proposed action, arguing that the laws are draconian and unfairly penalize law-abiding citizens for unintentional acts. They claim the penalties are burdensome and that there is no legitimate state interest in the regulations.

The commenter, a retired Navy commander and gun owner, supports the proposed rulemaking to clarify interstate transportation of firearms. They argue that the rule is necessary to provide uniform protections for legal gun owners and to correct inconsistent judicial interpretations across different states.
