Some are calling these new rules “radical.” Intercessor, what do you think? Now is the time to make your voice heard!
From NRA-ILA. Your help is urgently needed, as the official comment period on ATF’s rulemaking, “Definition of ‘Engaged in the Business’ as a Dealer in Firearms,” began on Friday, September 8. Comments on the rule will be accepted for 90 days, until December 7, 2023. …

The easiest and most effective way to comment on the proposal is through the online portal at regulations.gov. Comments can also be mailed to Helen Koppe, Mail Stop 6N–518, Office of Regulatory Affairs, Enforcement Programs and Services, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, 99 New York Ave. NE, Washington, DC 20226; ATTN: ATF 2022R–17. In either case, be sure to reference docket number ATF 2022R–17 to identify the rulemaking on which you are commenting.
The full text of the proposed rule, as well as a lengthy preamble explaining ATF’s rationalizations for it, is available at regulations.gov. …
Biden ATF is proposing to radically re-write federal law (yet again) to broaden the requirement for persons who occasionally sell or transfer firearms to register as federal firearm licensees (FFLs), with all the bureaucracy, expense, and oversight that entails. Biden claims this requirement will move the nation closer to the gun controllers’ Holy Grail of “universal background checks,” as federal law requires FFLs to run background checks whenever they transfer a firearm to an unlicensed person.
In truth, however, ATF has neither the resources nor the intent of handling the massive increase in FFLs the proposed rule predicts would result if its terms were adopted. Instead, the proposal is a transparent attempt to strong-arm Internet service providers, gun shows, technology platforms, and other facilitators to abandon any involvement in private gun sales with vague threats of “administrative action” for non-compliance. Meanwhile, the cartels, gang members, firearm smugglers, and violent sociopaths Congress had in mind when passing the law that supposedly enables the proposal will be entirely unaffected. …
Effective comments on ATF’S proposal will avoid inflammatory, hyperbolic, or vulgar language and calmly explain why the language of the proposed rule is unworkable, inconsistent with the underlying statute, or liable to reach innocent conduct that that does not implicate public safety. Other subjects for comment could include whether ATF correctly estimates the number of people the rule would require to register as dealers (24,540 to 328,296 people) and whether it would be feasible for ATF to administer this increase in workload. Comments could also address whether ATF’s estimates of the burdens and costs imposed by the rule are accurate or whether ATF is underestimating them. Commenters can also help explain how private firearm sales and transfers happen among law-abiding people in the real world and why they are not the unreasonable public safety risk that gun prohibition advocates claim.

I still know families that depend on hunting to have meat with their meals. That means gun ownership. My family just attended a gun safety meeting required by their gun club.
Guns in the hands of dissidents is far different than responsible gun ownership.
I see reports of people being stabbed with knife, scissors, etc. An elderly woman was beaten with her own cane at a subway station.
Lawlessness is about demonic activity not one particular method.
Let God arise and His enemies be scattered

I am praying fervently for this bill to go nowhere. I went to the Regulations.gov site and reviewed the comments. Many are a form letter supporting this ruling. This letter includes the docket no, which is required. Being very distrustful of the current administration, I question the authenticity of these letters, In doing a sample survey of 50 comments, the ones opposing the ruling lacked the docket # so I fear they will be disregarded and thrown out. So please IFA supporters, post your comment and INCLUDE THE DOCKET NUMBER! Thank you and God bless you!
LEAVE OUR CONSTITUTIONAL SECOND AMENDMENT ALONE! It is a GOD GIVEN RIGHT,, not a man given right.. It is a hugh deterent to our being over ran and taken out by all the terrorists that hate the USA!
Dear Jesus, Please bring order to this situation.
Guns do not kill anyone,But it is the evil man behind the gun who kills.Many years ago,UK banned all guns from citizens.Only the police and the military could carry guns.Did this law stop violence? No. People use knives and swords to commit murder. In 1935,we replaced the moral absolutes (the 10 commandments) with moral relativism. There is no right and no wrong.People can do whatever they want as long as they do not hurt the other person. In 1961, we kicked God out of the schools and the public square. Today,we are paying the price. Gun violence and unwanted pregnancy are skyrocketing. What is the answer? If people will humble themseles,repent and pray. God will hear us and heal our land. The evil in man’s heart is the cause for gun violence. Gun restrictions will not eliminate violence.
