Although it probably doesn't do any good to comment as far as stopping the proposed rule, remember that other politicians may read those comments as well. If the comments are overwhelmingly in favor of the rule, it may inspire some libtard legislator to propose yet another gun control law.

This OP is seriously misstating the facts.
This proposed rulemaking was a statutory requirement of the BPSCA that was passed during COVID, and may I add, with remarkably bipartisan voting support. So, pester your senator or congress(wo)man if you're seriously pissed by that piece of legislation. This is not an autonomous move of the ATF at the behest of its director, who mind you is actually educated and qualified for the job this time. |

I read it back when it came out. I got the no private gun show sales vibe and the no selling all your stuff at once or you are a dealer feeling. Who knows but to me it just feels like an attempt to choke down the number of private sales. I just don't believe it is just for clarification to make it easier to go after unlicensed dealers.

Quote HistoryQuoted: ...did anyone read the comments? I read about 25-30 after I noticed that it was a a bunch of identically worded/copy-pasted comments all written by women. Maybe my tin foil is too tight but it’s weird, to me at least. Pretty normal, actually. People always copy-paste from whatever pro- or anti- group they subscribe to. Form letters get submitted in droves. I like coming at something like this from different angles: You never know what's going to motivate the reader, so instead of pasting something that fifty other people are saying, use something novel. I said it's targeting the retirees and low-income – just say something that might give a pause to someone skipping over the same reason over and over again. "Comment: I am against the proposed rule and it's attempt to broaden the definition of when a person is considered “engaged in the business” of selling firearms. The proposal itself uses language stating someone is assumed guilty unless proven otherwise. That's a bad start. ("Rather than establishing a minimum threshold number of firearms purchased or sold, this rule proposes to clarify that, absent reliable evidence to the contrary, a person will be presumed to be engaged in the business of dealing in firearms...." • I am concerned when words like "terrorism" are used in a proposed rule that can adversely affect American citizens innocently practicing Second Amendment pursuits and interests. • The rights of the retired, or low-income citizens are challenged as they specifically are targeted to prove themselves innocent against the presumption of guilt due to some of the conditions of the proposal: ("(2) spends more money or its equivalent on purchases of firearms for the purpose of resale than the person's reported taxable gross inome during the applicable period of time"). An elderly or retired person might be supplementing their fixed -or nonexistent- income by selling off their firearms collection. The rule already starts to creep towards further expansion claiming even that the same "classification of firearm" might expose someone to liability. (Almost ALL firearms would be the same "classification" (rifle, pistol, shotgun). These citizens may have collected many of the same model, or kept them in collectible condition in their original packaging. This is not uncommon, but the proposed rule targets retirees by expanding the definition of "dealer" to include someone that might: "(4) repetitively sell(s) or offer(s) for sale firearms— (B) that are new, or like new in their original packaging or (C) that are of the same or similar kind (i.e., make/manufacturer, model, caliber/gauge, and action) and type (i.e., the classification of a firearm as a rifle, shotgun, revolver, pistol, frame, receiver, machinegun, silencer, destructive device, or other firearm)". I fear this proposal may end up targeting the low-income, the retired, or those citizens who only engage in the smallest of hobby sales. There are already too many conflicting or unclear firearm rules. Wee have enough trouble interpreting those existing ones, which leads to abuses and infringements upon people's rights." |

Ugh. Just browsing the comments, randomly, I’m surprised at the number of supporting comments (even though most of them are copies of the same canned response some gun control group obviously wrote).
I am also struck by how random their explanation is. “Predominantly earn a profit, ”’principal objective’ of purchasing and reselling firearms must include both ‘livelihood and profit’” could mean anything or nothing (depending on if it’s some dude here selling a few guns or Hunter Biden selling a fleet of F-15s, respectively). It would be better if they just set a hard threshold, but as they explained in their preface, that would mean they couldn’t “get it all” when it comes to gun control. FATF. |

Kharn BINGO!! Give that man a SEEgar And to expand on what @Kharn said, leave out rants, profanity & threats (yeah you'd think common sense right). Provide a clear concise argument. With all the respect I can put forth I ask this: Those of you that say things like its pointless and like they give a shit, would you give up if some clown was stealing your property by thinking well fuck it he made it outta the house? I know there will be arguments that my scenario is different and there is no comparison. Save the responses. I ask it rhetorically just to stimulate the thought of NEVER NEVER NEVER giving up, being beat and accepting defeat. Defeatism is repulsive and can be dangerously contagious. Again this is posed rhetorically and respectfully ladies and gents. |

There are several examples I wish to raise regarding the "earn a profit":
1.) A person purchases a used rifle for $100, and several years later; trades it in with an FFL as store credit towards another firearms purchase, with store credit being $100 or slightly more. How will ATF account for the fact that firearms are extremely durable goods and retain their resale value at much higher rates than other types of consumer goods in their definition of "earn a profit"? 2.) A person purchases an imported firearm that was manufactured in Russia circa 2007 for approximately $500 to $800 dollars. The person then sells the rifle for approximately $3000 to $4000 circa 2023. How will ATF account for the fact that the market value of firearms can increase due to either laws or sanctions making future imports unlikely, increasing the value of existing firearms in their definition of "earn a profit"? 3.) A person purchases a Winchester Model 70 in the 1970s and then later resells it at current market values for retirement. How will ATF account for the fact that manufacturing changes can increase the value of existing firearms (Remington firearms manufactured before 2000 or Winchester Model 70 rifles manufactured before 1974) in their definition of "earn a profit"? 4.) A person purchases an imported military surplus Chinese SKS for $79.00 in 1987 and later resells it at current market values for retirement. How will ATF account for the fact that the military surplus market valuation is changing to one of scarcity, rather than immediate post-WWII abundance in their definition of "earn a profit"? |

I'm required have the applicant notify their neighbors about the proposed development. I'm then required to wait 30 days, giving neighbors an opportunity to submit comments and concerns. Know what I'm NOT required to do? Change my decision based on any comments or responses. If you have a right of access, and there's no safety or operational justification for denial, you're getting your permit.
