Dear Members of the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association,
I hope this message finds you well. We are reaching out to shed light on a matter that demands our immediate attention and swift unified action.
As passionate advocates and enthusiasts of muzzle loading rifles, our community faces a significant challenge posed by the ATF's Proposed Rule 2022R-17. This proposal, if enacted, could potentially impose stringent regulations and constraints on our cherished hobby and the tools we hold dear.
The proposed rule stands to impact various aspects of our practice, potentially altering how we acquire, possess, and utilize muzzle loading rifles. Its implications could limit our freedoms and restrict our ability to engage in activities that have been an integral part of our heritage and passion.
It's crucial for us to stand together and voice our opposition to this rule. By unifying our efforts and expressing our concerns through a collective voice, we can make a substantial impact and safeguard the future of our hobby.
Here are a few steps we can take together:
I am writing to object to several provisions of the proposed 27 CFR Part 478. The presumptions set forth that one is engaged in the sale of firearms and needs an FFL for doing things such as renting a table at a gun show, placing a price tag on a firearm, keeping records of purchase and sale prices of guns, and selling guns of the same manufacture or like new, is not proper and contrary to the provisions of law that specifically provides for occasional sales for gun collectors and hobbyist.
Sales and purchases by non-dealers were not prohibited by the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. Had that been the intent of the BSCA it would have so stated. It is not proper to take actions by regulation that go far beyond what Congress provided in law.”
