From: J Burnette [[email protected]]Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2011 1:29 PMTo: Terrell, Barbara A.Subject: opposition to FR Doc. 2010-31761

I am writing to oppose the so called emergency regulation to register multiple sales of certain rifles with BATFE as described in FR Doc. 2010-31761 from the 12/17/2010 Federal Register. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010-31761.pdf This regulation is both illegal and unnecessary. Further there is no justification for any "emergency" implementation as reported by the Washington Post: White House delayed rule meant to stop gun flow to Mexico, Washington Post, Dec. 17, 2010, On-line edition: ( http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/17/AR2010121706598.html ). * The regulation proposed is outside the statutory grant of authority to record information about multiple sales of firearms. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) specifically grants the authority to collect multiple sale information on handguns and revolvers. Other firearms are excluded and there is no implied authority to extend this reporting requirement to rifles or any other type of firearm. * "FFL" holders are already required by law to respond to BATFE requests for information on firearms distribution pursuant to criminal investigations: Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(7). * The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of information collected, which establishes a nationwide registry of "certain types of firearms" as proposed. Because of this the regulation as proposed is illegal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). "No such rule or regulation . may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established." There is a grave potential for this regulation to unduly burden citizens who are collectors or must obtain purchase permits at the local or state level to possess firearms. The proposed regulation does not say what the agency intends to do with the information but ostensibly it would be for criminal investigations. Subjecting law abiding gun owners to this type of investigation under the guise of "information collection" is an overt attempt to prevent them from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights to purchase and own firearms. This regulatory action should not be approved. Sincerely, Jason Burnette

or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles."

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is demanding the authority to require all of the 8,500 firearm dealers in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas to report all sales of two or more semiautomatic rifles within five consecutive business days, if the rifles are larger than .22 caliber and use detachable magazines. For example, a dealer would have to tell the government every time a deer hunter in Sacramento or Amarillo finds a good deal on a pair of semi-auto .30-06s like the popular Remington 7400.

The ATF has no legal authority to demand these reports, and the flood of new paperwork will waste scarce law enforcement resources that should be spent on legitimate investigations.

From: J. Fleming [[email protected]]Sent: Saturday, February 12, 2011 1:51 PMTo: Terrell, Barbara A.Subject: by law the ATF has no authority to execute this request

ATF HAS NO AUTHORITY TO IMPOSE MULTIPLE SALES REPORTING FOR RIFLES The December 17, 2010 "Emergency Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles" does not indicate the statutory authority upon which ATF relies for its proposed multiple sales reporting requirement. However, a statement by ATF Deputy Director Kenneth Melson posted online at www.atf.gov indicates that licensees will be sent "demand letters" seeking the information. This memorandum explains why ATF's "demand letter" authority does not authorize the proposed collection. The statutory authority for "demand letters" is 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(5)(A), which provides: Each licensee shall, when required by letter issued by the Attorney General, and until notified to the contrary in writing by the Attorney General, submit on a form specified by the Attorney General, for periods and at the times specified in such letter, all record information required to be kept by this chapter or such lesser record information as the Attorney General in such letter may specify. In determining whether § 923(g)(5)(A) authorizes ATF to require the reporting of multiple sales of certain rifles, its words "must be read in their context and with a view to their place in the overall statutory scheme." Davis v. Michigan Dept. of Treasury, 489 U.S. 803, 809 (1989). More recently, the Supreme Court has explained: In determining whether Congress has specifically addressed the question at issue, a reviewing court should not confine itself to examining a particular statutory provision in isolation. The meaning—or ambiguity— of certain words or phrases may only become evident when placed in context.... A court must therefore interpret the statute "as a symmetrical and coherent regulatory scheme," . . . and "fit, i f possible, all parts into an harmonious whole . . . ." FDA v. Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp., 529 U.S. 120, 133 (2000)(citations omitted). InMastro Plastics Corp. v. Labor Board, 350 U.S. 270, 285 (1956), the Court rejected an interpretation of a statute which read words in isolation: I f the above words are read in complete isolation from their context in the Act, such an interpretation is possible. However, "In expounding a statute, we must not be guided by a single sentence or member of a sentence, but look to the provisions of the whole law, and to its object and policy." (citations omitted). 1 350 U.S. at 285. Thus, in determining the scope of ATF's authority under § 923(g)(5)(A), not only must § 923(g)(5)(A) itself be considered, but other statutory provisions must be considered to ascertain Congress' intent and give effect to the legislative will. Philhrook v. Glodgett, All U.S. 707, 713 (1975). With respect to multiple sales reporting, Congress has already expressly addressed this question. 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) provides: (A) Each licensee shall prepare a report of multiple sales or other dispositions whenever the licensee sells or otherwise disposes of, at one time or during any five consecutive business days, two or more pistols, or revolvers, or any combination of pistols and revolvers totalling two or more, to an unlicensed person. The report shall be prepared on a form specified by the Attorney General and forwarded to the office specified thereon and to the department of State police or State law enforcement agency of the State or local law enforcement agency of the local jurisdiction in which the sale or other disposition took

19

place, not later than the close of business on the day that the multiple sale or other disposition occurs. It is well‐established that "a statute ought, upon the whole, to be so construed that, i f it can be prevented, no clause, sentence, or word shall be superfluous, void, or insignificant." Duncan v. Walker, 533 U.S. 167, 174 (2001) (internal quotation marks omitted). I f § 923(g)(5)(A) authorizes ATF to require the reporting of multiple sales of certain rifles, § 923(g)(3)(A) is rendered superfluous and insignificant because ATF could use the authority of § 923(g)(5)(A) to require the submission of reports of multiple handgun sales. That Congress deemed necessary the enactment of § 923(g)(3)(A) reveals that Congress did not intend that § 923(g)(5)(A) have the broad reach ascribed to it by ATF. Further, "[w]hen a statute limits a thing to be done in a particular mode, it includes a negative of any other mode." Christensen v. Harris County, 529 U.S. 576, 583 (2000).1 Here, Congress expressly limited multiple sales reporting to pistols and revolvers, thereby negativing multiple sales reporting of certain rifles. The legislative history of § 923(g)(5)(A) confirms that Congress did not intend that § 923(g)(5)(A) would be used to require reporting of multiple sales reporting of certain rifles. 1 See also Bulova Watch Co. v. United States, 365 U.S. 753, 758 (1961)("It is familiar law that a specific statute controls over a general one"). 2 The original demand letter regulation (27 C.F.R. § 178.126) was promulgated under, and became effective on the same date as, the Gun Control Act of 1968, December 16, 1968. § 105(a), P.L. 90‐618, 82 Stat. 1213 (1968); 33 F.R. 18555, 18556 (Dec. 14, 1968). Harold Serr, Director of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division, wrote to Senator Frank Church on December 17, 1968: [UJnder no circumstances does the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division intend to require licensed firearms dealers to submit all records of firearms transactions to a central location. This would be in effect gun registration and the Congress clearly showed its desires in this area when gun legislation was voted on. 131 Cong. Rec. S9129 (July 9, 1985). Serr wrote that the demand letter regulation would be used "when we become aware of violations of the law by an unscrupulous dealer." Id. An example would be a dealer illegally selling handguns to out‐of‐state residents who stated that "they could give him any name they chose." In such a situation, "we would require the dealer to submit records of his sales, not for the purpose of registration, but for the purpose of proceeding against the dealer for a criminal violation of the law." Id. Serr emphasized, however, that ATF had "no intention of requiring law‐abiding gun dealers to report their firearms transactions to us." Id. Section 103 of FOP A, 100 Stat. 454, amended § 923(g)(1)(A) to provide that licensees "shall not be required to submit to the Secretary reports . . . except as expressly required by this section." Such records "include, for instance, multiple sales reports and certain informational reports used in connection with tracing." S.Rep. 98‐583, at 15. "See, e.g., proposed 18 U.S.C. 923(g)(4)and (5),2 discussed in more detail infra." Id. n.32. Subparagraph (4) would be enacted as the demand letter provision. § 103 of FOP A, 100 Stat. 455. That provision "is based on existing Treasury regulations describing activities which facilitate the Secretary's ability to trace the disposition of firearms in connection with criminal investigations."3 S.Rep. 98‐583, at 17. The report continues: 2 Subparagraph (5) would be enacted as § 923(g)(3), which provides that a licensee shall report to the Secretary the sale of two or more handguns in a five‐day period. 3 In 1994, Congress enacted § 923(g)(7), which created an explicit duty of a licensee to respond to a trace request, "orally or in writing, as the Attorney General may require"

20

within 24 hours and authorized the Attorney General to make such requests by telephone. A trace request pursuant to § 923(g)(7) was, however, only for the purpose of "determining the disposition of 1 or more firearms in the course of a bona fide criminal investigation." 3 The purpose of Paragraph (4) is to clarify and ensure the Secretary's authority to conduct legitimate tracing activities in connection with bona fide criminal investigations. The authority granted to the Secretary under this Paragraph is intended to provide access to all information legitimately needed in sensitive criminal investigations, such as the investigation of President Reagan's attempted assassination. However, because of the breadth of the authority granted, limitations on the use of such information, which do not exist under current regulations, were included to restrict any potential for the abuse of the rights of law‐abiding licensees. Id. at 18. The use of § 923(g)(5)(A) in relation to traces would be limited not only to "bona fide criminal investigations," but would be further confined by what would be enacted as § 926(a).4 As the Senate report, which referred to the demand‐letter provision as the "tracing pro vision[]/'further explained: The multiple sales, out‐of‐business records, and tracing provisions, which, in certain respects, codify existing regulations, were included in the Committee amendment to achieve an appropriate balance between legitimate law enforcement needs and the Committee's determination to substantially restrict the circumstances under which inspections are authorized. This, in turn, reduces the potential for unwarranted intrusions into the business affairs of law‐abiding licensees. However,... the authority granted under 18 U.S.C. 923(g) (3), (4) and (5), as well as that contained in paragraph (1), as amended, are not to be construed to authorize the United States . . . to use the information obtained from any records or form which are required to be maintained for inspection or submission by licensees under Chapter 44 to establish any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or dispositions. Id. at 18. 4 § 926(a) provides in part that the Attorney General may not promulgate a "rule or regulation" which would: require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States . . . . 4 Specifically, § 106 of FOP A, 100 Stat. 459‐60, amended § 926(a) to prohibit BATF from requiring that licensee records "be recorded at or transferred to" a government facility or establishing any registration system, but allowing the authority to conduct traces "in the course of a criminal investigation." The report states that "this 'tracing' authority is codified in the Committee's amendment," obviously referring to what would be enacted as § 923(g)(5)(A). Senate Report 98‐583 at 27. Senator Orrin Hatch, floor manager of FOP A, explained of the demand letter regulation: "The Senate bill explicitly codifies regulations permitting tracing of firearms used in crimes." 132 Cong. Rec. S5351 (May 6, 1986). In later Senate debate, Senator Hatch explained of § 926(a) that "the authority to request tracing information for dealers can never be used to establish any centralized or regional registration system for firearms or firearm owners." 131 Cong. Rec. S8691 (June 24, 1985). Senator Hatch also clarified the understanding of the 1968 demand letter regulation which FOP A would codify as follows: In order to facilitate tracing offirearms used in violent crimes, licensed dealers currently are required to provide the Secretary of Treasury with information about specific weapons upon request. Further a dealer must report multiple handgun sales to the same person which occur within 5 consecutive business days, and i f the dealer is going out of business, he must send his records to the BATF rather than destroy or otherwise dispose of them. These tracing authorities are included currently in Federal regulations.

21

131 Cong. Rec. S8691 (June 24, 1985) (emphasis added). Senator Hatch added that "the authority to request tracing information for dealers can never be used to establish any centralized or regional registration system for firearms or firearm owners." Id. Hatch stated about § 923(g)(5)(A) that "Congress had no intent to require all law‐abiding gun dealers to report all their firearms transactions" to BATF. Id. at S9129 (July 9, 1985).5 For the purpose of "clarifying the record information submission requirement for firearms licensees," Senator Hatch inserted into the record ATF Director Serr's explanation of the purpose of the demand letter regulation quoted above. Not a single senator voiced a contrary view of the purpose of § 923(g)(5)(A). Thus, the canon of statutory construction that it "is the sponsors that we look to when the 5 Senator James McClure, the chief FOPA sponsor, provided the following concise explanation: "The central compromise of the Gun Control Act of 1968 ‐ the sine qua non for the entry of the Federal Government into any form of firearms regulation was this: Records concerning gun ownership would be maintained by dealers, not by the Federal Government and not by State and local governments." 131 Cong. Rec. S9163‐64 (July 9, 1985). 5 meaning of the statutory words is in doubt," Schwegmann Bros. v. Calvert Corp., 341 U.S. 384, 394‐395 (1951), applies with particular emphasis with respect to § 923(g)(5)(A). When the bill was being considered by the House after Senate passage, Edward T. Stevenson, Deputy Assistant Secretary, Enforcement and Operations, Department of the Treasury, explained the understanding of the United States of the language which became § 923(g)(5)(A): Initially, the bill could be interpreted to remove the statutory authority by which the Government may require licensees to report information from required records. Based on this authority, licensees are currently required by regulations to provide information about particular firearms transactions on request, to report multiple sales of handguns to the same person, and to turn in to the Government out‐of‐business records upon ceasing business. Under S. 49, as passed by the Senate, these existing reporting requirements would be preserved and now specifically required by statute. Legislation to Modify the 1968 Gun Control Act: Hearings Before the Committee on the Judiciary, House of Representatives, 99t h Cong., 1s t & 2d Sess., 1139 (1986) (emphasis added). As discussed, supra, the "existing reporting requirements" referred to by Deputy Assistant Secretary Stevenson were "existing Treasury regulations describing activities which facilitate the Secretary's ability to trace the disposition of firearms in connection with criminal investigations." S.Rep. 98‐583, at 17. Thus, it was the clear understanding of both Congress and the executive branch prior to the enactment of § 923(g)(5)(A) that both the original regulation and the statute as enacted by FOP A were limited in scope to (1) information from dealers who were in violation of the law, and (2) information from any dealers about specific firearms dispositions necessary for bona fide criminal investigations. Since the proposed multiple sales demand letters will apparently be sent to all dealers in a four‐state area, including those who have never been found in violation of any law, and will request information about firearms that are not the subject of any criminal investigation, ATF has no authority for the proposed information collection. 6

This proposal will only consume scarce resources that could be better used. The problem with violent Mexican drug cartels is not because of the Second Amendment. Rather than trying to solve Mexico's crime problem, we should concentrate on securing the border to prevent criminals from entering our country. The government can't prevent a 160 lb. human from entering the country, yet they think they can stop a 7 lb. rifle from leaving the country! J. P. Gilligan "I'm not a pessimist, I'm a cynic.

or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles.

REF: December 17, 2010 “Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles. Dear Ms Terrell: I have questions and concerns about this proposed requirement. Questions:

1) The reporting requirement qualification: “(b) a caliber greater than .22” includes .22 LR rifles because the bore diameter of a .22 LR rifle such as a Ruger 10/22 is actually .2215 ‐.2225 caliber according to SAMI industry specifications. However, the same rifle in .17 caliber would need to reported. Is the intention to get reports of every multiple sale of plinking rifles? With this in mind you are asking for reporting on virtually ALL semi auto rifles multiple sales.

2) A stripped or unassembled AR type receiver for acquisition / disposition purposes and 4473 purposes is considered an “other“ type of firearm. For this purpose is that also true? And therefore would be exempt from the reporting requirements?

3) The reporting requirement qualification: “(c) ability to accept a detachable magazine ” does that include rifles that have been modified to not accept a detachable magazine? Is there a definition for “detachable magazine”

4) Why do you need this reporting in California when the California DOJ has a computerized system already in place that knows how many long guns a customer purchases and the ATF agents and inspectors already have access to this system.

Thank you for your reply, but the question among firearm dealers still remains- What definition is being applied to '... greater than .22 caliber,..."? Is it the name of the cartridge? Many see this as a trap/entrapment possibility. Does it need to be .25 or greater? Or is the .223 Remington/5.56mm NATO round exempted since it is a .22 caliber? If the .223/5.56 is part of the report caliber classification, so then are the semi-automatic, magazine fed riles of .22 Short through 5 mm Remington, as they are the same diameter of projectile. How about the .222 Remington Magnum? I would be happy to forward you a list of the 349 +/- cartridges and the diameter designations of their projectiles is it may be of assistance. The way the proposal was written is sure to get many dealers, attempting to follow the ruling, either in trouble with ATF, or cause them to fill out many more forms than is supposedly required. It seems that the proposed regulation was written, pardon me for being blunt, by someone- or some group- who does not have direct knowledge of caliber-vs.-diameter classifications and definitions.

Thank you for your comment regarding the 60-day emergency notice of information collection relating to ATF Form 3310.12 (Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles), published in the Federal Register on December 17, 2010. The Federal Register and supplement form may be found at: http://www.atf.gov/regulations-rulings/rulemakings/general-notices.html

The primary purpose of this program is to improve law enforcement’s ability to identify firearms traffickers, to disrupt the criminal activity and to stop deadly violence plaguing the Southwest Border States and Mexico. The multiple sales reports will apply only to rifles that are semi-automatic, greater than .22 caliber, and have the ability to accept a detachable magazine. ATF intends to implement this program to require that Federal firearms licensees in the States of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas complete the form for those

36

transactions in which an individual purchases two or more of these rifles within five business days. We intend to evaluate the results at the end of a 1 year pilot period, at which time ATF may expand, narrow or discontinue the program.

As mentioned in the notice, if granted by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the emergency approval of the form is valid for 180 days. All comments received in response to the notice will be carefully considered and, if warranted, revisions to the form will be made.

From: Jack [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, January 02, 2011 1:41 PM To: Terrell, Barbara A. Subject: Multiple Sales report for Long Guns Barbara Terrell ATF Firearms

Industry Programs Branch

I wish to make a few statements regarding the proposed regulation change for the reporting of multiple long gun sales reports.

First, I would question the need for such reports, as the ATF has the ability to confront the purchaser of any firearms which are theoretically obtained from American, or Mexican, military or police agencies for the purpose of tracing the firearm, or serial number, collected from crime a scene[s].

Second, I would question the efforts and effects of ATF to follow through on the complete tracing of crime scene weapons, as to the prosecution of 'straw purchaser[s]', as there are virtually no reports available, (at least as far as I can locate), as to arrests and/or prosecutions of said illegal purchasers, since all retail purchases countrywide must be accompanied by the form 4473.

Third, the amount of additional paperwork a dealer would need to fill out for purchases of rifles which do not fit the "standard" classification for a criminals weapon of choice, i.e.: a Remington 7400, four round box magazine, caliber .35 Whelen, as one example.

Fourth, clarify, "... the following characteristics: (a) Semi automatic; (b) a caliber greater than .22; and (c) the ability to accept a detachable magazine." That statement must include approximately 349 cartridges currently available on the open market, from the .221 Remington Fireball- a handgun round- to the 600 Nitro Express- an African Dangerous Game cartridge- as well as at least eight rimfire rounds; The .22 BB and CB, Short, Long, and Long Rifle cartridges

37

are .223~.225" in diameter, the .22 Winchester Rimfire Magnum is .24o" in diameter, the 5mm Remington Magnum is .225" in diameter, and the .22 Winchester Rim Fire is .240" in diameter. I saw no reference that rimfire rounds would be exempt.

Thank you for consideration of my statements.

From: [email protected] Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2011 Subject: To: Ms. Barbara Terrell, Ms. Terrell, As a law abiding American and gun owner, I am angry and frustrated that your agency wants to track legal sales of long guns from licensed gun dealers and pawn shops in the southwest. Your agency will be wasting resources on legal purchases. Many in government continue to act as though Mexican drug cartels are coming across the border and buying the majority of their firearms from licensed firearms dealers and/or gun shows. This has been shown to be false, yet it seems to be the focal point for many gun control schemes. American firearms dealers are not selling rocket and grenade launchers and fully automatic weapons to Americans, much less to foreigners. Drug cartels are very well funded, and are able to purchase their weapons on the worldwide black market. They are not buying hunting rifles. There is no need for them to buy less capable firearms in the U.S. We should be focusing energy and funds on the influx into the southwest of the armed Mexican drug cartels and other unlawful entrants. This proposal would be burdensome and costly, cause additional red tape, adversely impact your critical functions, and do little if anything to reduce the flow of weapons. This will impact the sale of semi-automatic rifles in common use in this country. These are firearms which are great demand by the cartels. It really constitutes an illegal registration of law abiding gun owners. Your agency is supposed to be addressing illegal sales and transfers, not legal gun purchases. You need to focus and work with the US Border Patrol to stop the flow of illegal weapons and explosives coming in from Mexico, not punishing honest people in the exercise of their Second Amendment rights. This proposal would prove to be ill advised, ineffective, expensive, and most likely unconstitutional. A serious backlash might be expected from this proposal, as well as legal action to halt it.

To: Barbara A. Terrell, Firearms Industry Programs Branch, BATFE, 99 New York Ave, N.E., Washington, DC 20226. I would like to voice my disapproval of the request of the ATF to require registration of long guns by firearms dealers. Reference is made to the December 17, 2010 "Notice of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles". Statistics from the FBI and others recently indicated that firearms used in the Mexican border clashes are at least 10 to 14 year old and have been imported into Mexico from Central and South America. (And most are not of US manufacture) The ATF has no legal authority to require any such registration or reporting . This is nothing more than sensing the opportunity of a tragedy in Arizona to further the ambitions of gun control supporters. This partial registration will lead to country wide registration and eventually confiscation of all long guns. The only persons to be controlled here are the people who already abide by the law. Criminals will just laugh at this. The real problem here is not the guns but the border. Close the border. Search everyone going across. Until this is accomplished, any other action is a waste of time and money. What part of illegal don't you understand. Illegal is illegal period. If someone is breaking the law, nail them, but leave the law abiding gun owner alone, we are not a fault. (And we are not the ones causing the trouble) There is the opportunity to correct the problems, not hurt others in the process. //signed//JAB Jack A Bennett COL, US Army, Ret Small business owner Gun Owner Citizen

Ms. Terrell, I fully understand the limitations of the proposed rule. They are insufficient to excuse the fact that this it is not legal for the BATFE to mandate this requirement. The similar requirement to report multiple sales of handguns passed through Congress, and this requirement simply is mandated by the BATFE under the guise of an emergency. What is the emergency? No response I have read from the BATFE to any commenter has addressed this concern. This makes it quite obvious that "Emergency Rulemaking" in this case simply means that the BATFE wishes to bypass our representatives. However, your response did mention that, "All comments received in response to the notice will be carefully considered and, if warranted, revisions to the form will be made." If the BATFE is going to proceed with this despite opposition and despite the governed's lack of representation, there needs to be a provision to destroy information collected after a period of time. Failure to do so constitutes a limited gun registration which is illegal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). - Jacob Endres

The primary purpose of this program is to improve law enforcement’s ability to identify firearms traffickers, to disrupt the criminal activity and to stop deadly violence plaguing the Southwest Border States and Mexico. The multiple sales reports will apply only to rifles that are semi-automatic, greater than .22 caliber, and have the ability to accept a detachable magazine. ATF intends to implement this program to require that Federal firearms licensees in the States of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas complete the form for those transactions in which an individual purchases two or more of these rifles within five business days. We intend to evaluate the results at the end of a 1 year pilot period, at which time ATF may expand, narrow or discontinue the program.

From: Jacob Endres [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2010 12:38 AM To: Terrell, Barbara A. Subject: Request for Emergency Regulation (FR Doc. 2010–31761)

Ms. Terrell, I am writing to oppose the emergency regulation to register multiple sales of certain rifles with BATFE as described in FR Doc. 2010–31761 from the 12/17/2010 Federal Register. I oppose this for the following reasons: There is no emergency. This is ostensibly an attempt to bypass normal process for lawmaking and leads us down an avenue of backdoor politics. The regulation proposed is outside the statutory grant of authority to record information about multiple sales of firearms. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) specifically grants the authority to collect multiple sale information on handguns and revolvers. Other firearms are excluded, and there is no implied authority to extend this reporting requirement to rifles or any other type of firearm. A change to this legislation must pass as amendment to the law through Congress. Anything less is a failure of democracy. This regulation is illegal. The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of information collected, which establishes a nationwide registry of "certain types of firearms" as proposed. Because of this the regulation as proposed is illegal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). "No such rule or regulation ... may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established." This is, quite transparently, an attempt to pass a law and gain ground of the issue of gun registration without consent of the governed. This initiative is subversive and illegal, and should be stopped. - Jacob Endres

Please OPPOSE the “Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles.” This is an unnecessary regulation and is not allowed under Federal law. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) does not grant any such registration of multiple purchases of firearms, except for handguns. The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of the collected information, and therefore is not legal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). Laws do matter and this unnecessary and extra-legal proposal must NOT be approved. Sincerely, James A. Jones, Jr. 2408 Prince George Ave. Chester VA 23836

Dear Ms. Terrell -

The ATF has no legal authority to demand these reports.

The flood of new paperwork will waste scarce law enforcement resources that are already being reduced due to budget constraints.

The effort wasted on this effort would take away from Time, money and resources that should be spent on legitimate investigations.

If these reports are required, a legal battle will ensue which will require many resources from your office.

From: James Alexander [[email protected]]Sent: Saturday, February 12, 2011 11:20 AMTo: Terrell, Barbara A.Subject: New Reporting Requirements for Multiple Gun Sales in SouthWestern United States

As a private citizen and resident of Florida, I believe the BATFE request for even more reporting of gun sales in the United States; and in the four States bordering Mexico specifically is a complete waste of taxpayer money and BATFE resources. I base this on factual information ‐ which I'm certain you possess or could obtain ‐ from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) of the United States. It comes as no secret the Mexican leadership ‐ President Calderon ‐ has repeatedly attempted to deflect the responsibility for the drug cartels' wave of violence onto the United States rather than admit their inability to gain control of the criminal element . In my own personal opinion, I expect their failure is due to widespread incompetence in leadership, a disloyal military, poverty, and an abundance of drugs to sell to willing buyers around the World. Reported by some of those in political office at the local, State, and Federal level and parroted by the news media, 90% of guns being confiscated in Mexico originated in the United States. This is simply FALSE! Even the United States' GAO Office investigations have proven this to be nothing more than a "myth" expressed repeatedly as political rhetoric by those identified as "gun haters" who are only interested in pressing forward their own agenda. There have been numerous articles written about those who wish to destroy the Second Amendment; even going to the extent of allowing the United Nations to establish the laws for the entire World thus repealing the Constitution of the United States! I must add that President Obama appears to agree with the United Nations "take‐over"; a move which was rejected in total by former President George W. Bush. While this is indirectly related to the ongoing problem inside the borders of the Nation of Mexico, it must be understood the 90% gun myth needs to be analyzed and rebutted by those capable of recognizing the FACTS. The United States GAO has provided those FACTS which in brief are: 30,000 weapons seized by the Mexican Government from criminals; 7,200 or 24% of those were submitted to BATFE for tracing. Of the 7,200 guns submitted to BATFE for tracing, 4,000 were traceable of which 3,480 (87% of the 4,000) were found to have come from the United States. This does NOT, however, prove those were sold exclusively by border Federal Firearm Licensees (FFL's); only that the guns came from the United States. These guns may have come through thefts from U. S. Military Armories, FFL's stores, personal homes, cars, storage units. The list of possibilities is endless. [I might add a business owner's automobile was broken into right here in our locale within the past week and his handgun stolen. A handgun I purchased for my wife was stolen a few years ago after our home was vandalized. While her gun was never found, the local Sheriff did call us and ask us to verify the caliber as they had found a .38 caliber handgun in a dumpster near our home.] In any regard, what boils down to a 12%, NOT 90% gun problem in Mexico is NOT a problem created deliberately by the border FFL's; nor should the entire United States stand idle and have blame for Mexico's internal problems dumped on us. There's little doubt in my mind the BATFE may not be fully staffed and thus able to keep up with the mountains of electronic and paper based reports which may already be required. In my opinion, additional reporting from some 8,500 FFL's in just four States will not only add to the backlog at BATFE; but will eventually prove to be a total waste of manpower resources and taxpayer money. From where I sit, this is yet another Governmental waste we the taxpayers can ill afford to shoulder.

The ATF must use it’s authority to collect this information and better enforce the laws already on the books. With more than 30,000 people already murdered in cartel wars, this is an emergency that demands our government’s immediate attention. James Cook 2 Silver Lake Dr. Waterloo, IA 50702

Dear Madam, The second amendment gives the right to keep and bear arms. I see nothing restricting how many or when they may be bought. I see nothing that says the government must keep a record of who buys them or how many were bought. Maybe I am just illiterate, but it seems that profiling is illegal and you are "profiling" certain states instead of being fair and consistent across the board. If individuals are purchasing the firearms for illegal purposes, what is to prevent them from just crossing into another state and purchase them where they will not be reported? It seems the government wants to "baby proof" by removing things beyond reach instead of teaching correct principles and properly punishing violation of the laws. If we want to prevent deaths from the use of guns by removing them out of reach, we should also remove every vehicle off the roads since they kill multiples more people in a given period than guns do. I feel demanding such reporting as indicated is not required for you to do your job properly, is biased and unfair for the states involved, and goes beyond the scope of your authority.

I am writing to strongly object to the (in my opinion) illegal requirement for de facto registration of civilian firearms. Although I do not personally live in the four states where this is proposed, as a concerned citizen of this country, I think this idea must be quashed immediately.

Congress has made it abundantly clear that firearms are not to be registered in our country. History teaches the reasons for this prohibition. The BATF must be required to live within the law of the land.

Rather than incurring additional expense to gather unnecessary information regarding legal firearms sales anywhere in the U.S., I propose the current administration require the government of Mexico to account for all full-automatic firearms provided or sold by our government to any government agency of Mexico. I am certain that such an accounting will reveal thousands of missing firearms, many of which are now in the hands of criminals in Mexico, who obviously prefer full-automatic over the semi-automatic firearms used for sport in America. Perhaps it is time for our southern neighbor to be held accountable for their actions.

To Barbara A. Terrell, I believe the scope of this proposed collection suggests in itself that the proposal exceeds ATF's statutory authority. It is beyond the wildest of imaginations to actually think that the Mexican cartels are actually getting their guns in the United States. When it is quite clear that the South American/Colombian/Panamanian/Guatemalan and other connections down south would seem more logical to me. Does the bureau actually think that a drug dealer gets the idea one day to go across the border in Arizona or Texas to buy a few semi-auto 30.06's from Greg's Gun Shop? Then take the chance of getting them back across the border into Mexico? Would they not be using gun dealers who can provide them with dozen's of the weapons that they are actually using to arm their armies. I also believe the ATF has no legal authority to demand these reports, and the flood of new paperwork will waste scarce law enforcement resources that should be spent on legitimate investigations. I kindly ask you to reconsider. God bless you and the United States of America! Sincerely, -- -james jay jordan-

I think that all Americans should have the right to own any gun, accept those that are a felon. It is lawful according to the Constitution of the United States. Why are the ones who do not own any guns trying to dictate to those who only use guns for hunting and for self protection tell us what we can and cannot do.

Hello. Just wanted to say this is rediculous! Being a law enforcement personnel, you should realize the criminals will always be getting weapons from some source. Any kind of restriction on long guns will ultimately have the negative effect of making it more difficult for law abiding citizens to posses weapons for self defense. Consequently, the creates more crime; it does not prevent crime. If only legislature will realize this. There's the "theoretical" point of view that crime will be prevented by such measures. But "practical" result is that law abiding individuals will be hindered from defending themselves and others. I urge you to reconsider and do what you can to prevent the eventual disarming of those who should and can posses firearms. After all, it is a constitutional right. Just my opinion. James T.

Dear Ms. Terrell: RE: December 17, 2010 “Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles.” I would like to comment on this proposed rulemaking. The nominal justification for this change in current regulation is violence in Mexico, which is supposedly abetted by the availability of guns from the USA. However, this cannot be the real purpose, but is rather a pretext to advance gun control legislation via Mexican violence. There is no justification for burdening, even punishing, US citizens for lawful activity because of problems in Mexico. In fact, the problems in Mexico have been proven time and time again to be almost entirely independent of guns supposedly purchased in the USA. The Mexican cartels have such enormous resources that they are successfully challenging the entire of government of Mexico in many places in that country. Clearly, the few guns that they might be prevented from purchasing under this regulation will make absolutely no difference in Mexico. If they can import drugs and drug precursor chemicals with complete freedom and in huge quantities, then clearly they can import any arms they want from anywhere in the world they want. Thus the true purpose of the regulation is not Mexican violence, but rather gun control on US citizens. As another illustration of this fact, much of the recent Mexican violence is actually taking place in Southern Mexico, very far from the US border. Obviously, violence on the US border gets more attention in the media than activity in a remote part of Mexico, but that doesn’t change the facts. Those guns in remote areas are not coming from the US, which once again proves the point that this regulation is not actually aimed at Mexican guns or Mexican violence. Accordingly, I strongly oppose this burdensome and perverse proposal. It is politically motivated, not supported by the facts, and harmful to American citizens. Please abandon this effort. Sincerely, James Oyler

Just what we need, more government paperwork. Over the years I have come to believe that the way government bureaucracy justifies its existence is by creating more and more paperwork. I know this concept is foreign for any bureaucrat in Washington. The American people would be just fine if at least 50% of the Federal bureaucracy were eliminated along with their bloated budgets. I suggest ‘WE’ could do fine if the FBI simply assumed the mission of ATF, WITHOUT THE BUREAUCRACY. ATF does not have the statutory authority to impose this requirement on licensees.

This is what "We" fought and bled for. America is 'Ours', not the government politicians or bureaucrats. James Pogue

By no means should the Federal Government be able to acquire multi-gun sales records on a whim, rather than if a crime is, or has been commited. If the Government is absolutely serious about firearm injuries, fatalities and other actions which are already illegal, they should ask each State to make ANY crime that involves the use of a firearm a felony and have mandatory jail or prison time for the perpetrator. The Federal Government should pursue the people who enter the United States illegally who commit serious crimes and who are the main culprits in any cross-border gun running, and quit making ridiculous laws that the anti-gun lobby love, and that criminals laugh at, because they know that only law-abiding people will be hindered by thousands of gun laws, while they keep on dealing in the illegal gun sales the same as they have for years and years.

Friday, February 11, 2011

Barbara A. Terrell Firearms Industry Programs Branch Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives 99 New York Avenue, N.E. Washington, DC 20226.

RE: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles Dear Ms. Terrell, I do not support the above referenced regulation. The Heller and McDonald cases issued by the United States Supreme Court in recent years make it clear, once and for all, that the right to bear arms is a fundamental constitutional right under the Second Amendment. As a fundamental right, current Supreme Court jurisprudence requires that all regulation of this right be “narrowly tailored to achieve a compelling government interest.” The proposed regulation is certainly not narrowly tailored and if this regulation is adopted, the courts will eventually declare it to be unconstitutional. I suspect that over the next few years, many existing gun control laws will be challenged and overturned. It seems a tremendous was of time, talent, energy, and money to make everyone involved suffer through the long arduous process of having the courts overturn the various unconstitutional gun control laws. It would be much more prudent and cost effective for the ATF, other government agencies, the President, Senators, and Representatives to assess both proposed and existing gun laws in light of Heller and McDonald and voluntarily repeal those that do not pass constitutional strict scrutiny. The proposal states that the “purpose of the information is to require Federal Firearms Licensees to report multiple sales or other dispositions whenever the licensee sells or otherwise disposes of two or more rifles within any five consecutive business days with the following characteristics: (a) Semi automatic; (b) a caliber greater than .22; and (c) the ability to accept a detachable magazine.” This statement does not give a purpose. Rather it is merely states what licensees must report. So, what is the purpose of reporting such information? How is reporting the purchase of two or more rifles within five days narrowly tailored to achieve a compelling government interest? What is the compelling government interest? I suggest you read More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun Control Laws by John R. Lott, who is a senior research scholar in the School of Law at Yale University. The book is extremely well researched and is now in its third edition. I support the NRA’s letter dated February 10, 2011, in which it provides reasons opposing the proposed regulation. Sincerely,

James A. Wetterling

Barbara Terrel Refer to 17 Dec 2010 [Notice of information Collection Under Reveiw: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Dis[position of Certain Rifles] I am apalled and sadden that your agency would even consider the new bill to control guns. Your office knows that even if [?] some guns from the U.S. do make it to Mexico, it is a drop in a bucket compared to the 10,000's if not millions of guns that Mexico buys on the black market. The Supreme Court has already said citizen have the right to bare arms and these shall not be infringed on the [Second Amendment].Only Congress has the legal authority to pass the ban of long gun you propose. Requiring, no demanding the sale of two or more semi-auto rifles within five business days,be reported if the rifles are larger than .22 calibar and use detachable magizines. This would affect 8,500 federal gun dealers. Your agency does not have the man power or time to handle the paper work that would be involved. What is your response to Sen Grassley's contention that your agency allowed guns to be sold to mexican nationals under suspicious circumstance? Knowing ATF's tactic's this would be the first step in your illegal quest to register, steal American citizens firearms.It would give you a list of gun owners so you could steal their guns like Hitler did! I come from a long line of military familys. One ancestor was a Maj. on George Wash- ingtons staff. His son was also in the Revolutionary Army. My Great Grandfather served in the Civil War, my Grandfather was in WW I, 2 of my Grandfathers brothers served in WW II, 1 died, My father and stepfather served in WW II, 2 uncles were in the Korean War. I served in South East Asia, A daugher was in the Gulf war and my son Served in Iraq and Afgan. Millions of Americans have made the same sacrafice, 100,000's are now crippled from serving to keep our country free. How many have died 2 million?

Subject: Oppose Regulation Expanding Multiple Sale Reporting

I am writing to oppose the so called emergency regulation to register multiple sales of certain rifles with BATFE as described in FR Doc. 2010-31761 from the 12/17/2010 Federal Register. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010-31761.pdf This regulation is both illegal and unnecessary. Further there is no justification for any "emergency" implementation as reported by the Washington Post: White House delayed rule meant to stop gun flow to Mexico, Washington Post, Dec. 17, 2010, On-line edition: ( http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/17/AR2010121706598.html ). * The regulation proposed is outside the statutory grant of authority to record information about multiple sales of firearms. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) specifically grants the authority to collect multiple sale information on handguns and revolvers. Other firearms are excluded and there is no implied authority to extend this reporting requirement to rifles or any other type of firearm. * "FFL" holders are already required by law to respond to BATFE requests for information on firearms distribution pursuant to criminal investigations: Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(7). * The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of information collected, which establishes a nationwide registry of "certain types of firearms" as proposed. Because of this the regulation as proposed is illegal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). "No such rule or regulation . may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established." There is a grave potential for this regulation to unduly burden citizens who are collectors or must obtain purchase permits at the local or state level to possess firearms. The proposed regulation does not say what the agency intends to do with the information but ostensibly it would be for criminal investigations. Subjecting law abiding gun owners to this type of investigation under the guise of "information collection" is an overt attempt to prevent them from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights to purchase and own firearms. * This regulatory action has not allowed the public sufficient time to comment. This regulatory action should not be approved.

Dear Ms. Terrell: I contacted my congressman, Geoff Davis, of Kentucky concerning the ATF proposed policy of requiring certain semi-automatic rifles to be r eported in four border states. While laudable in intention I oppose it. Law Enforcement agencies have always taken any rule to ridiculous lengths, and soon this ATF requirement would be expanded I have no doubt. The shortness of the comment time, (I was just today informed by the NRA) gives me almost no time for all of this, but please abandon this quest. Without proper legislative oversight this regulation would put an undue burden (and cost) on dealers, not to mention that the buying public, guaranteed to have access to firearms as decided by the Supreme Court would be infringed upon. Thank you, James Hillman, concerned citizen

From: Janet Knox [[email protected]]Sent: Monday, February 14, 2011 9:44 PMTo: Terrell, Barbara A.Subject: Oppose Regulation Expanding Multiple Sale Reporting

I am writing to oppose the so called emergency regulation to register multiple sales of certain rifles with BATFE as described in FR Doc. 2010‐31761 from the 12/17/2010Federal Register. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010‐31761.pdf This regulation is both illegal and unnecessary. Further there is no justification for any "emergency" implementation as reported by the Washington Post: White House delayed rule meant to stop gun flow to Mexico, Washington Post, Dec. 17, 2010, On‐line edition: ( http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp‐dyn/content/article/2010/12/17/AR2010121706598.html ). * The regulation proposed is outside the statutory grant of authority to record information about multiple sales of firearms. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) specifically grants the authority to collect multiple sale information on handguns and revolvers. Other firearms are excluded and there is no implied authority to extend this reporting requirement to rifles or any other type of firearm. * "FFL" holders are already required by law to respond to BATFE requests for information on firearms distribution pursuant to criminal investigations: Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(7). * The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of information collected, which establishes a nationwide registry of "certain types of firearms" as proposed. Because of this the regulation as proposed is illegal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). "No such rule or regulation . may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established." There is a grave potential for this regulation to unduly burden citizens who are collectors or must obtain purchase permits at the local or state level to possess firearms. The proposed regulation does not say what the agency intends to do with the information but ostensibly it would be for criminal investigations. Subjecting law abiding gun owners to this type of investigation under the guise of "information collection" is an overt attempt to prevent them from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights to purchase and own firearms. * This regulatory action has not allowed the public sufficient time to comment. This regulatory action should not be approved. Sincerely, Janet L. Knox Buckeye, AZ ____________________________________________________________________________________ TV dinner still cooling?

Barbara A. Terrell Firearms Industry Programs Branch Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives 99 New York Avenue, N.E. Washington, DC 20226. RE: Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles.

I object to the BATFA’s proposal to track gun sales in states that border Mexico. Mexico’s problems cannot be solved by harassing American gun dealers and American gun owners. The Mexican drug cartels are not buying their RPGs, machine guns and other weapons from American dealers. To suggest that they are is to insult the intelligence of the American people.

Tracking firearms sales is nothing short of gun registration and if history has taught us anything it is that gun registration is followed by gun confiscation as surely as night follows day. Neither is within the authority of any government agency and it is certainly not within the authority of the BATFA.

“the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”

BATFA harassment of gun dealers and gun owners is infringing on the rights of the People and must not be allowed. The Constitution is still the supreme law of the land and the BATFA must conform to the limits it places on government.

Do not proceed with this plan.

ATF HAS NO AUTHORITY TO IMPOSE MULTIPLE SALES REPORTING FOR RIFLES

Re: Federal Register Notice of December 17, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 242,Page 79021), 60‐Day Emergency Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles To

Whom It May Concern:

I am writing as an American citizen to offer comments on this Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives(ATF) information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).I have received my information from the NRA and pass it along to you.

The notice proposed an "emergency" requirement that certain federal firearms licensees report multiple sales or other dispositions whenever the licensee sells or otherwise disposes of two or more rifles within any five consecutive business days with the following characteristics: (a) Semi automatic; (b) a caliber greater than .22; and (c) the ability to accept a detachable magazine. Now, the OMB has denied the "emergency" request. But regardless of the timeframe in which approval is sought, ATF does not have the statutory authority to impose this requirement on licensees. The reasons for that lack of authority are fully explained in the attached legal memorandum; but in short, the Congress has comprehensively defined what ATF may and may not require with respect to licensees' records. By specifically requiring reports only of multiple handgun sales, Congress implicitly rejected the idea of requiring reports on multiple sales of other firearms. ATF seemed to understand that point when it responded in October to a recommendation for multiple long gun sales reporting by the Department of Justice Inspector General. ATF's comment on that recommendation was that it would "explore the full range of options" but that such a requirement "may require a change to the Gun Control Act."1

These reports will be requested through "demand letters"—a mechanism that for

many years had been used only to conduct firearm traces, to obtain aggregate manufacturing statistics, or to obtain contact information for buyers of certain firearms later declared to be subject to the National Firearms Act. Even when ATF began to use demand letters to seek a broader range of firearm transaction records, one court upholding that program cautioned that the demand letter statute "is not a limitless delegation of authority" and "cannot be construed in an open‐ended fashion."2

411

The scope of the proposed collection suggests in itself that the proposal exceeds ATF's statutory authority. The Fourth Circuit stressed that the letter at issue in the RSM case was sent to only 41 licensees out of the 80,000 licensees in the United States.3 A second type of demand letter was sent to only 450 dealers nationwide.4 Now, ATF proposes to issue demand letters to approximately 8,500 licensees. That estimate appears to be based on the total number of licensed dealers and pawnbrokers in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. If so, nearly one out of seven firearm retailers in the United States would receive demand letters for multiple rifle sales. The burden estimate in the proposal appears to assume that each licensee subject to a demand letter will respond once during the proposed duration of the program. Given the great variety in size and sales volume among the thousands of licensees in the border states, this seems unlikely.

Even if f the burden estimate in the proposal is correct, it is unclear how ATF could make effective use of the large number of reports that would be generated. Recent media reports suggest that ATF is already unable to handle dealers' voluntary, real‐time reports of possible "straw purchases."5 If processing thousands of additional mandatory reports takes even more resources away from investigating these suspicious transactions, the proposed information collection may be more harmful than helpful. The NRA is well aware that ATF would, understandably, like to take strong steps to address drug‐related violence in Mexico. But lawlessness in Mexico—driven by multi‐billion dollar drug cartels with access to any and all types of arms on the 1 See U.S. Dept. of Justice, Office of the Inspector General, Review of ATF's Project Gunrunner, Evaluation and Inspections Report 1‐2011‐001 (Nov. 2010).

international black markets—is no excuse for U.S. law enforcement agencies to spend scarce resources on programs that exceed their legal powers. Therefore, OMB should deny ATF's request to approve its proposed collection of information.

ATF HAS NO AUTHORITY TO IMPOSE MULTIPLE SALES REPORTING FOR RIFLES

The December 17, 2010 "Emergency Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles" does not indicate the statutory authority upon which ATF relies for its proposed multiple sales reporting requirement. However, a statement by ATF Deputy Director Kenneth Melson posted online at www.atf.gov indicates that licensees will be sent "demand letters" seeking the

412

information. This memorandum explains why ATF's "demand letter" authority does not authorize the proposed collection. The statutory authority for "demand letters" is 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(5)(A), which provides:

Each licensee shall, when required by letter issued by the Attorney General, and until notified to the contrary in writing by the Attorney General, submit on a form specified by the Attorney General, for periods and at the times specified in such letter, all record information required to be kept by this chapter or such lesser record information as the Attorney General in such letter may specify.

In determining whether § 923(g)(5)(A) authorizes ATF to require the reporting of multiple sales of certain rifles, its words "must be read in their context and with a view to their place in the overall statutory scheme." Davis v. Michigan Dept. of Treasury, 489

U.S. 803, 809 (1989). More recently, the Supreme Court has explained: In determining whether Congress has specifically addressed the question at issue, a reviewing court should not confine itself to examining a particular statutory provision in isolation. The meaning—or ambiguity— of certain words or phrases may only become evident when placed in context.... A court must therefore interpret the statute "as a symmetrical and coherent regulatory scheme," . . . and "fit, if f possible, all parts into an harmonious whole . . . ."

FDA v. Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp., 529 U.S. 120, 133 (2000)(citations omitted). InMastro Plastics Corp. v. Labor Board, 350 U.S. 270, 285 (1956), the Court rejected an interpretation of a statute which read words in isolation: I f the above words are read in complete isolation from their context in the Act, such an interpretation is possible. However, "In expounding a statute, we must not be guided by a single sentence or member of a sentence, but look to the provisions of the whole law, and to its object and policy." (citations omitted). 1

350 U.S. at 285.

Thus, in determining the scope of ATF's authority under § 923(g)(5)(A), not only must § 923(g)(5)(A) itself be considered, but other statutory provisions must be considered to ascertain Congress' intent and give effect to the legislative will. Philhrook v. Glodgett, All U.S. 707, 713 (1975). With respect to multiple sales reporting, Congress has already expressly addressed this question. 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) provides: (A) Each licensee shall prepare a report of multiple sales or other dispositions whenever the licensee sells or otherwise disposes of, at one time or during any five consecutive business days, two or more pistols, or revolvers, or any combination of pistols and revolvers totaling two or more, to an unlicensed person. The report shall be prepared on a form specified by the Attorney General and forwarded to the office specified thereon and to the department of State police or State law enforcement agency of the State or local law enforcement agency of the local jurisdiction in which the sale or other disposition took place, not later than the close of business on the day that the multiple sale or other disposition occurs. It is well‐established that "a statute ought, upon the whole, to be so construed that, if f it can be prevented, no clause, sentence, or word shall be superfluous, void, or insignificant." Duncan v. Walker, 533 U.S. 167, 174 (2001) (internal quotation marks omitted).

I f § 923(g)(5)(A) authorizes ATF to require the reporting of multiple sales of certain rifles, § 923(g)(3)(A) is rendered superfluous and insignificant because ATF could use the authority of § 923(g)(5)(A) to require the submission of reports of multiple handgun sales. That Congress deemed necessary the enactment of § 923(g)(3)(A) reveals that Congress did not intend that § 923(g)(5)(A) have the broad reach ascribed to it by ATF. Further, "[w]hen a statute limits a thing to be done in a particular mode, it includes a negative of any other mode." Christensen v. Harris County,

529 U.S. 576, 583

413

(2000).1 Here, Congress expressly limited multiple sales reporting to pistols and revolvers, thereby negativing multiple sales reporting of certain rifles. The legislative history of 923(g)(5)(A) confirms that Congress did not intend that § 923(g)(5)(A) would be used to require reporting of multiple sales reporting of certain rifles.

1 See also Bulova Watch Co. v. United States, 365 U.S. 753, 758 (1961)("It is familiar law that a specific statute controls over a general one").

The original demand letter regulation (27 C.F.R. § 178.126) was promulgated under, and became effective on the same date as, the Gun Control Act of 1968, December 16, 1968. § 105(a), P.L. 90‐618, 82 Stat. 1213 (1968); 33 F.R. 18555, 18556 (Dec. 14, 1968). Harold Serr, Director of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division, wrote to Senator Frank Church on December 17, 1968: [Under no circumstances does the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division intend to require licensed firearms dealers to submit all records of firearms transactions to a central location. This would be in effect gun registration and the Congress clearly showed its desires in this area when gun legislation was voted on.

131 Cong. Rec. S9129 (July 9, 1985).

Serr wrote that the demand letter regulation would be used "when we become aware of violations of the law by an unscrupulous dealer." Id. An example would be a dealer illegally selling handguns to out‐of‐state residents who stated that "they could give him any name they chose." In such a situation, "we would require the dealer to submit records of his sales, not for the purpose of registration, but for the purpose of proceeding against the dealer for a criminal violation of the law." Id. Serr emphasized, however, that ATF had "no intention of requiring law‐abiding gun dealers to report their firearms transactions to us." Id.

Section 103 of FOP A, 100 Stat. 454, amended § 923(g)(1)(A) to provide that licensees "shall not be required to submit to the Secretary reports . . . except as expressly required by this section." Such records "include, for instance, multiple sales reports and certain informational reports used in connection with tracing." S.Rep. 98‐583, at 15. "See, e.g., proposed 18 U.S.C. 923(g)(4)and (5),2 discussed in more detail infra." Id. n.32. Subparagraph (4) would be enacted as the demand letter provision. § 103 of FOP A, 100 Stat. 455. That provision "is based on existing Treasury regulations describing activities which facilitate the Secretary's ability to trace the disposition of firearms in connection with criminal investigations."3 S.Rep. 98‐583, at 17. The report continues:

2 Subparagraph (5) would be enacted as § 923(g)(3), which provides that a

licensee shall report to the Secretary the sale of two or more handguns in a five‐day

period. 3 In 1994, Congress enacted § 923(g)(7), which created an explicit duty of a licensee to respond to a trace request, "orally or in writing, as the Attorney General may require" within 24 hours and authorized the Attorney General to make such requests by telephone. A trace request pursuant to § 923(g)(7) was, however, only for the purpose of "determining the disposition of 1 or more firearms in the course of a bona fide criminal investigation." The purpose of Paragraph (4) is to clarify and ensure the Secretary's authority to conduct legitimate tracing activities in connection with bona fide criminal investigations. The authority granted to the Secretary under this Paragraph is intended to provide access to all information legitimately needed in sensitive criminal investigations, such as the investigation of President Reagan's attempted assassination. However, because of the breadth of the authority granted, limitations on the use of such information, which do not exist under current regulations, were included to restrict any potential for the abuse of the rights of law‐abiding licensees. Id. at 18. The use of § 923(g)(5)(A) in relation to traces would be limited not only to "bona fide criminal investigations," but would be further confined by what would be enacted as § 926(a).4 As the Senate

414

report, which referred to the demand‐letter provision as the "tracing pro vision[]/'further explained: The multiple sales, out‐of‐business records, and tracing provisions, which, in certain respects, codify existing regulations, were included in the Committee amendment to achieve an appropriate balance between legitimate law enforcement needs and the Committee's determination to substantially restrict the circumstances under which inspections are authorized. This, in turn, reduces the potential for unwarranted intrusions into the business affairs of law‐abiding licensees. However,... the authority granted under 18 U.S.C. 923(g) (3), (4) and (5), as well as that contained in paragraph (1), as amended, are not to be construed to authorize the United States . . . to use the information obtained from any records or form which are required to be maintained for inspection or submission by licensees under Chapter 44 to establish any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or dispositions. Id. at 18. 4 § 926(a) provides in part that the Attorney General may not promulgate a "rule or regulation" which would: require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States . . . .Specifically, § 106 of FOP A, 100 Stat. 459‐60, amended § 926(a) to prohibit BATF from requiring that licensee records "be recorded at or transferred to" a government facility or establishing any registration system, but allowing the authority to conduct traces "in the course of a criminal investigation." The report states that "this 'tracing' authority is codified in the Committee's amendment," obviously referring to what would be enacted as § 923(g)(5)(A). Senate Report 98‐583 at 27. Senator Orrin Hatch, floor manager of FOP A, explained of the demand letter regulation: "The Senate bill explicitly codifies regulations permitting tracing of firearms used in crimes." 132 Cong. Rec. S5351 (May 6, 1986). In later Senate debate, Senator Hatch explained of § 926(a) that "the authority to request tracing information for dealers can never be used to establish any centralized or regional registration system for firearms or firearm owners." 131 Cong. Rec. S8691 (June 24, 1985). Senator Hatch also clarified the understanding of the 1968 demand letter regulation which FOP A would codify as follows: In order to facilitate tracing of firearms used in violent crimes, licensed dealers currently are required to provide the Secretary of Treasury with information about specific weapons upon request. Further a dealer must report multiple handgun sales to the same person which occur within 5 consecutive business days, and if f the dealer is going out of business, he must send his records to the BATF rather than destroy or otherwise dispose of them. These tracing authorities are included currently in Federal regulations. 131 Cong. Rec. S8691 (June 24, 1985) (emphasis added). Senator Hatch added that "the authority to request tracing information for dealers can never be used to establish any centralized or regional registration system for firearms or firearm owners." Id. Hatch stated about § 923(g)(5)(A) that "Congress had no intent to require all law‐abiding gun dealers to report all their firearms transactions" to BATF. Id. at S9129 (July 9, 1985).5 For the purpose of "clarifying the record information submission requirement for firearms licensees," Senator Hatch inserted into the record ATF Director Serr's explanation of the purpose of the demand letter regulation quoted above. Not a single senator voiced a contrary view of the purpose of § 923(g)(5)(A). Thus, the canon of statutory construction that it "is the sponsors that we look to when the 5 Senator James McClure, the chief FOPA sponsor, provided the following concise explanation: "The central compromise of the Gun Control Act of 1968 ‐ the sine qua non for the entry of the Federal Government into any form of firearms regulation was this: Records concerning gun ownership would be maintained by dealers, not by the Federal Government and not by State and local governments." 131 Cong. Rec. S9163‐64 (July 9, 1985). 5 meaning of the statutory words is in doubt," Schwegmann Bros. v. Calvert Corp., 341 U.S. 384, 394‐395 (1951), applies with particular emphasis with respect to § 923(g)(5)(A). When the bill was being considered by the House after Senate passage, Edward T. Stevenson, Deputy Assistant Secretary, Enforcement and Operations, Department of the Treasury, explained the understanding of the United States of the language which became § 923(g)(5)(A): Initially, the bill could be interpreted to remove the statutory authority by which the Government may require licensees to report information from required records. Based on this authority, licensees are currently required by regulations to provide information about particular firearms transactions on request, to report multiple sales of handguns to the same person, and to turn in to the Government out‐of‐business records upon ceasing business. Under S.

415

49, as passed by the Senate, these existing reporting requirements would be preserved and now specifically required by statute. Legislation to Modify the 1968 Gun Control Act: Hearings Before the Committee on the Judiciary, House of Representatives, 99t h Cong., 1s t & 2d Sess., 1139 (1986) (emphasis added). As discussed, supra, the "existing reporting requirements" referred to by Deputy Assistant Secretary Stevenson were "existing Treasury regulations describing activities which facilitate the Secretary's ability to trace the disposition of firearms in connection with criminal investigations." S.Rep. 98‐583, at 17. Thus, it was the clear understanding of both Congress and the executive branch prior to the enactment of § 923(g)(5)(A) that both the original regulation and the statute as enacted by FOP A were limited in scope to (1) information from dealers who were in violation of the law, and (2) information from any dealers about specific firearms dispositions necessary for bona fide criminal investigations. Since the proposed multiple sales demand letters will apparently be sent to all dealers in a four‐state area, including those who have never been found in violation of any law, and will request information about firearms that are not the subject of any criminal investigation, ATF has no authority for the proposed information collection.

Ms. Terrell; This letter comes in opposition to the proposed "emergency" measures to regulate the sale of multiple rifles by requiring registration with the BATFE as described in FR Doc. 2010-31761 (12/17/2010 Federal Register). Why? 1.) It's illegal. Check Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A), which outlines what authority the BATFE in this issue. Rifles are EXCLUDED from this authority. 2.) It's illegal (again). You might also want to check Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a), which disallows the collection of specific data in the manner proposed. 3.) It's redundant. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(7) already requires FFL holders to provide info on sales when a criminal investigation is in process. You can already get this information if you truly have a need for it. 4.) It's a burden on licensees. Another form? Really? 5.) It's not needed. Who is the target of this requirement? Bad guys? Since this occurs at the licensee level, what's to prevent the Bad Guys from buying from two separate licensees to avoid popping up on BATFE radar? Also, with a requirement of only five days for reporting, won't you only get the impatient Bad Guys? As usual, these regulations are only going to come into play when law-abiding gun buyers make purchases. And the law-abiding ones aren't the ones you need info on. 6.) It's expensive. Passing these regulations will simply tie up precious BATFE resources in legal actions.

I am writing to express my concern about the ATF's new proposed reporting standards. This makes it too easy for a "de facto" registry to be created. We already have this issue concerning handguns. While I understand this is being pushed due to concerns in Mexico. It has been shown that the 90% of guns traced to the U.S. only constituted a small portion of those firearms Mexico collected. Furthermore, it is clear by the photos that Mexico's problems are not going to be resolved by such a law in the U.S.; as the grenades and RPGs commonly pictured are in no way available. So clearly the cartels are buying such goods straight from eastern bloc manufacturers and/or corrupt individuals in the Mexican military. Gun registries pose a danger to a free society. And such invasion of privacy should not be tolerated. Look at the breaches that have already occurred with such information a CCW holders. In which anti-gun media has post information about those who have permits, endangering the holders and violating their privacy. This strategy will do little to effect crime. I think it's pretty well known that the crime problem in the U.S. is one of our justice system. Where repeat criminals are allowed to commit their crimes over and over again with little punishment.

I am writing to oppose the so called emergency regulation to register multiple sales of certain rifles with BATFE as described in FR Doc. 2010‐31761 from the 12/17/2010 Federal Register. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010‐31761.pdf This regulation is both illegal and unnecessary. Further there is no justification for any "emergency" implementation as reported by the Washington Post: White House delayed rule meant to stop gun flow to Mexico, Washington Post, Dec. 17, 2010, On‐line edition: ( http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp‐dyn/content/article/2010/12/17/AR2010121706598.html ). * The regulation proposed is outside the statutory grant of authority to record information about multiple sales of firearms. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) specifically grants the authority to collect multiple sale information on handguns and revolvers. Other firearms are excluded and there is no implied authority to extend this reporting requirement to rifles or any other type of firearm. * "FFL" holders are already required by law to respond to BATFE requests for information on firearms distribution pursuant to criminal investigations: Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(7). * The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of information collected, which establishes a nationwide registry of "certain types of firearms" as proposed. Because of this the regulation as proposed is illegal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). "No such rule or regulation . may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established." There is a grave potential for this regulation to unduly burden citizens who are collectors or must obtain purchase permits at the local or state level to possess firearms. The proposed regulation does not say what the agency intends to do with the information but ostensibly it would be for criminal investigations. Subjecting law abiding gun owners to this type of investigation under the guise of "information collection" is an overt attempt to prevent them from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights to purchase and own firearms. This regulatory action should not be approved.

(NRA), to offer our comments on this Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The notice proposed an "emergency" requirement that certain federal firearms licensees report multiple sales or other dispositions whenever the licensee sells or otherwise disposes of two or more rifles within any five consecutive business days with the following characteristics: (a) Semi automatic; (b) a caliber greater than .22; and (c) the ability to accept a detachable magazine. Now, the OMB has denied the "emergency" request. But regardless of the timeframe in which approval is sought, ATF does not have the statutory authority to impose this requirement on licensees. The reasons for that lack of authority are fully explained in the attached legal memorandum; but in short, the Congress has comprehensively defined what ATF may and may not require with respect to licensees' records. By specifically requiring reports only of multiple handgun sales, Congress implicitly rejected the idea of requiring reports on multiple sales of other firearms. ATF seemed to understand that point when it responded in October to a recommendation for multiple long gun sales reporting by the Department of Justice Inspector General. ATF's comment on that recommendation was that it would "explore the full range of options" but that such a requirement "may require a change to the Gun Control Act."1 These reports will be requested through "demand letters"—a mechanism that for many years had been used only to conduct firearm traces, to obtain aggregate manufacturing statistics, or to obtain contact information for buyers of certain firearms later declared to be subject to the National Firearms Act. Even when ATF began to use demand letters to seek a broader range of firearm transaction records, one court upholding that program cautioned that the demand letter statute "is not a limitless

432

delegation of authority" and "cannot be construed in an open-ended fashion."2 The scope of the proposed collection suggests in itself that the proposal exceeds ATF's statutory authority. The Fourth Circuit stressed that the letter at issue in the RSM case was sent to only 41 licensees out of the 80,000 licensees in the United States.3 A second type of demand letter was sent to only 450 dealers nationwide.4 Now, ATF proposes to issue demand letters to approximately 8,500 licensees. That estimate appears to be based on the total number of licensed dealers and pawnbrokers in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. If so, nearly one out of seven firearm retailers in the United States would receive demand letters for multiple rifle sales. The burden estimate in the proposal appears to assume that each licensee subject to a demand letter will respond once during the proposed duration of the program. Given the great variety in size and sales volume among the thousands of licensees in the border states, this seems unlikely. Even i f the burden estimate in the proposal is correct, it is unclear how ATF could make effective use of the large number of reports that would be generated. Recent media reports suggest that ATF is already unable to handle dealers' voluntary, real-time reports of possible "straw purchases."5 If processing thousands of additional mandatory reports takes even more resources away from investigating these suspicious transactions, the proposed information collection may be more harmful than helpful. The NRA is well aware that ATF would, understandably, like to take strong steps to address drug-related violence in Mexico. But lawlessness in Mexico—driven by multi-billion dollar drug cartels with access to any and all types of arms on the 1international black markets—is no excuse for U.S. law enforcement agencies to spend scarce resources on programs that exceed their legal powers. Therefore, OMB should deny ATF's request to approve its proposed collection of information. Sincerely, John Smith

Now, the OMB has denied the "emergency" request. But regardless of the timeframe in which approval is sought, ATF does not have the statutory authority to impose this requirement on licensees. The firearms being used by the drug cartels are fully automatic, which are illegal in the United States. This provision is just an excuse to cover the real problem. The border is unsecure.

With all due Respect, I am very concerned about about the ATF asking for information on rifle sales in the state of Texas and other states. This is in reference to the December 17, 2010 “Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles.” TheATF is demanding the authority to require all of the 8,500 firearm dealers in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas to report all sales of two or more semiautomatic rifles within five consecutive business days, if the rifles are larger than .22 caliber and use detachable magazines. For example, a dealer would have to tell the government every time a deer hunter in Sacramento or Amarillo finds a good deal on a pair of semi-auto .30-06s like the popular Remington 7400. The ATF has no legal authority to demand these reports, and the flood of new paperwork will waste scarce law enforcement resources that should be spent on legitimate investigations.

your new invasion of our rights

The ATF has no legal authority to demand these reports, and the flood of new paperwork will waste scarce law enforcement resources that should be spent on legitimate investigations. Get with the program of up holding our rights and watch and protect our borders without invading our rights and privacy. I ask you to drop this invasion of our rights. Jean Claude Gau

Hello Please OPPOSE the “Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles.” This is an unnecessary regulation and is not allowed under Federal law. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) does not grant any such registration of multiple purchases of firearms, except for handguns. The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of the collected information, and therefore is not legal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a).

It's not the law-abiding citizens who go through the background check to buy a gun that are the problem - it's the criminals who don't bother.

Ms Terrell:

I am writing to support the submittal to your office by the National Rifle Association of America, Inc. (NRA),

where they offerred comments on this Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives

(ATF) information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

The notice in objection proposed an "emergency" requirement that certain federal firearms

licensees report multiple sales or other dispositions whenever the licensee sells or

545

otherwise disposes of two or more rifles within any five consecutive

business days with the following characteristics: (a) Semi automatic; (b) a

caliber greater than .22; and (c) the ability to accept a detachable

magazine.

I am well aware that ATF would, understandably, like to take strong steps

to address drug-related violence in Mexico. But lawlessness in Mexico is no excuse for U.S. law enforcement agencies to spend

scarce resources on programs that exceed their legal powers.

I feel OMB should deny ATF's request to approve its proposed collection of

information. If you have any questions about my comments, please do not hesitate to

contact me.

Thanks you.

Why does the ATF persist in trying to infringe on our 2nd ammendmant rights ? Maybe if the ATF was as concerned about the number of ( ILLEGALS ) streaming into this country . The number of firearms and violence in Mexico would dramatically decrease ! Remember people who are doing something illegal always find a way ! Stop the illegal traffic , stop the problem . Taking away our rights and creating unneccesary paperwork and using law enforcement time that could be better spent , does not solve the problem !

[email protected] Fax: (202) 648–9640 To Ms. Terrell and whoever else this may concern, It sounds to me like the government, this time in the form of the BATFE, is once again starting down the long, slippery slope of regulation outside the law. Not only that but the BATFE's proposal misses the point. The point is that there are murderous drug industries in Mexico (and elsewhere) bankrolled by large numbers of American drug addicts. THAT is the problem. Any law, or regulation you "pass" by bureaucratic fiat, regarding the "control" of firearms does NOTHING to address that problem, nor does it address the problem of drug‐related gun violence. With the kind of money the drug lords have they will get guns no matter what laws and regulations are imposed on law abiding American citizens.

The narco/terrorists are acquiring their guns 99% from places other than the USA and it’s a farce to think otherwise. We law abiding citizens acquire our firearms legally. Do you honestly think drug runners are going to purchase there weapons through a legit gun dealer. Silly me, but I doubt it. Please look at the countries that are running these cartels and you’ll find where weapons are originating from and not automatically assume US citizens are to blame and need to have our rights stymied. There are thousands of places to place the blame and starting with the US it looks to me like the BATFE are just taking an easy step saying they are trying to stop weapons, all along they know it’s not the case. Our BATFE is getting out of control. More and more they sound like an internal government trying to run this country. If you know any history you know that has happened before leaving people with dropped jaws wondering how it happened. The vast majority of legal, law abiding USA citizens know what is happening and if it isn’t stopped bigger problems then we have now will pop their heads up. Add our BATFE to the UN and we have the perfect world dictatorship. Sincerely Jeffrey L. Bauer [email protected]

I strongly support the ATF's proposal to require dealers along the border to report bulk sales of assault rifles, just like they already do with handgun sales. The ATF must use its authority to collect this information and better enforce the laws already on the books.

Re: Federal Register Notice of December 17, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 242, Page 79021), 60-Day Emergency Notice of Information Collection Under


After reading BATF's proposal quoted below, I do not believe BATF has the legal authority, time to process or manpower to waste on the harassment of small business owners whom seem to be the target of this request. "is to require Federal Firearms Licensees to report multiple sales or other dispositions whenever the licensee sells or otherwise disposes of two or more rifles within any five consecutive business days with the following characteristics: (a) Semi automatic; (b) a caliber greater than .22; and (c) the

ability to accept a detachable magazine."

A White House Official once said, "A crisis is a terrible thing to waste," and it seems BATF is following suit. The apparent lawlessness south of the American/Mexican border is a US problem when it spills across our border, which the federal government seems lacking the desire to defend, but it is not the fault of of American citizens nor business owners. Perhaps more attention to border crossers and less to legitimate sellers and buyers of legal weapons would be in order? Jeff Bequette Omaha Nebraska

I am writing to oppose the so called emergency regulation to register multiple sales of certain rifles with BATFE as described in FR Doc. 2010-31761 from the 12/17/2010 Federal Register. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010-31761.pdf This regulation is both illegal and unnecessary. Further there is no justification for any "emergency" implementation as reported by the Washington Post: White House delayed rule meant to stop gun flow to Mexico, Washington Post, Dec. 17, 2010, On-line edition: ( http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/17/AR2010121706598.html ). * The regulation proposed is outside the statutory grant of authority to record information about multiple sales of firearms. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) specifically grants the authority to collect multiple sale information on handguns and revolvers. Other firearms are excluded and there is no implied authority to extend this reporting requirement to rifles or any other type of firearm. * "FFL" holders are already required by law to respond to BATFE requests for information on firearms distribution pursuant to criminal investigations: Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(7). * The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of information collected, which establishes a nationwide registry of "certain types of firearms" as proposed. Because of this the regulation as proposed is illegal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). "No such rule or regulation may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established." There is a grave potential for this regulation to unduly burden citizens who are collectors or must obtain purchase permits at the local or state level to possess firearms. The proposed regulation does not say what the agency intends to do with the information but ostensibly it would be for criminal investigations. Subjecting law abiding gun owners to this type of investigation under the guise of "information collection" is an overt attempt to prevent them from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights to purchase and own firearms. This regulatory action should not be approved. Sincerely, Jefff Kochis Hammond, Indiana

or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles

Please accept this email as a Comment on ATF's proposed rulemakings regarding Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles in the four southwestern states. It has been my personal experience that ATF and local law enforcement rarely use the reports on multiple handgun sales to investigate purchasers prior to or just after purchasers taking possession of the subject handguns. This is likely due to the significant amount of resources that would be required to conduct such investigations. In fact, I have never seen any type of study or report regarding the use or effectiveness of the multipe sales forms. I believe that ATF requiring the completion of the multiple sales form for additional types of firearms, including semi-automatic rifles in .22 caliber or higher, will simply turnout to be further paperwork that noone uses for legitimate law enforcement purposes. Is ATF really going to investigate each situation when it receives notice that someone intends to purchase 2 such rifles? It seems that ATF would need to expand their number of agents exponentially to complete such investigations. Before expanding this paperwork requirement, maybe there should be some objective finding that the program is actually a useful law enforcement tool. Instead of instituting a knee-jerk reaction that will have no substantive benefit, but sounds good in the papers, the U.S. Government should concentrate on assisting Mexico with eliminating the rampant corruption that has plagued that country for decades and which is the true basis for the situation that it now confronts.

I know what the “emergency notice” says. I can read and I don’t need it explained twice. What you’re doing is a backdoor method of opening a database of firearms ownership. A person would have to be insane to believe that the automatic weapons being used by the Mexican drug gangs come from the USA. You’re insinuation that they’re using semi-automatic weapons is bogus. It’s pure propaganda from the gun grabbing left. You are creating an illegal registry because you know Congress would never approve it. But backdoor methods are common for this administration. Make no mistake about it. You will be stopped. You have only 2 years to create your registry and it will be instantly destroyed when Obama is defeated in the upcoming presidential election. It’s these “ram it down the throats of the people no matter what” moves that have guaranteed he will be a one term president.

The primary purpose of this program is to improve law enforcement’s ability to identify firearms traffickers, to disrupt the criminal activity and to stop deadly violence plaguing the southwest border States and Mexico. The multiple sales reports will apply only to rifles that are semi-automatic, greater than .22 caliber, and have the ability to accept a detachable magazine. Federal firearms licensees in the States of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas will complete the forms for those transactions when an individual purchases two or more of these rifles within five business days. We intend to evaluate the results at the end of a 1 year pilot period.

Ms Terrell, The reporting of multiple sales of certain semi‐automatic rifles appears to be a misplaced burden on licensed firearms dealers. I do not advocate that the work is the issue, rather that the problems being addressed require the Mexican government to police their own country. The other issue involved here is our long standing inability to secure our own borders. Any weapon purchased here should not be allowed to cross the border into Mexico, non‐citizens are not allowed to legally purchase firearms in the US, and I believe the vast majority of cartel “members” fall into this category. I recently watched an American made news report in which members of the drug cartels were interviewed and they stated American gun laws were of no concern to them, further stating the bulk of their weapons come from the Mexican military through bribes and and payoffs to certain authorities. Mexico has it’s problems and we have ours. We, as a nation, do not go to the Canadian or Mexican governments to solve our domestic issues. Mr. Calderone needs to manage his own country by whatever means he deems necessary to control the drug trade and the violence associated with it, not blame the US for his lackluster performance, and have the audacity to suggest we change our laws to suit him. Perhaps he should keep his citizens at home, where they belong. This is but one on a long list of problems related to our insecure borders and until the border issue is resolved we will be faced with these types of problems. Furthermore, any change in our laws to appease Mexico is an abomination to the citizens of the United States, and will not change the corrupt system in Mexico. I appreciate your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, Jeffrey Ruggles

Certain Rifles

Importance: High

To Whom It May Concern I am writing to agree with the below information that the ATF has no Authority to impose multiple sales reporting for rifles. This proposed reporting would add, once again to the over wastage of government resources which is irresponsible and downright nonsensical. “ I am writing to offer comments on this Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The notice proposed an "emergency" requirement that certain federal firearms licensees report multiple sales or other dispositions whenever the licensee sells or otherwise disposes of two or more rifles within any five consecutive business days with the following characteristics: (a) Semi automatic; (b) a caliber greater than .22; and (c) the ability to accept a detachable magazine. Now, the OMB has denied the "emergency" request. But regardless of the timeframe in which approval is sought, ATF does not have the statutory authority to impose this requirement on licensees. The reasons for that lack of authority are fully explained in the attached legal memorandum; but in short, the Congress has comprehensively defined what ATF may and may not require with respect to licensees' records. By specifically requiring reports only of multiple handgun sales, Congress implicitly rejected the idea of requiring reports on multiple sales of other firearms. ATF seemed to understand that point when it responded in October to a recommendation for multiple long gun sales reporting by the Department of Justice Inspector General. ATF's comment on that recommendation was that it would "explore the full range of options" but that such a requirement "may require a change to the Gun Control Act."1 These reports will be requested through "demand letters"—a mechanism that for many years had been used only to conduct firearm traces, to obtain aggregate manufacturing statistics, or to obtain contact information for buyers of certain firearms later declared to be subject to the National Firearms Act. Even when ATF began to use demand letters to seek a broader range of firearm transaction records, one court upholding that program cautioned that the demand letter statute "is not a limitless delegation of authority" and "cannot be construed in an open-ended fashion."2 The scope of the proposed collection suggests in itself that the proposal exceeds ATF's statutory authority. The Fourth Circuit stressed that the letter at issue in the RSM case was sent to only 41 licensees out of the 80,000 licensees in the United States.3 A second type of demand letter was sent to only 450 dealers nationwide.4 Now, ATF proposes to issue demand letters to approximately 8,500 licensees. That estimate appears to be based on the total number of licensed dealers and

614

pawnbrokers in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. If so, nearly one out of seven firearm retailers in the United States would receive demand letters for multiple rifle sales. The burden estimate in the proposal appears to assume that each licensee subject to a demand letter will respond once during the proposed duration of the program. Given the great variety in size and sales volume among the thousands of licensees in the border states, this seems unlikely. Even i f the burden estimate in the proposal is correct, it is unclear how ATF could make effective use of the large number of reports that would be generated. Recent media reports suggest that ATF is already unable to handle dealers' voluntary, real-time reports of possible "straw purchases."5 If processing thousands of additional mandatory reports takes even more resources away from investigating these suspicious transactions, the proposed information collection may be more harmful than helpful. international black markets—is no excuse for U.S. law enforcement agencies to spend scarce resources on programs that exceed their legal powers. Therefore, OMB should deny ATF's request to approve its proposed collection of information. If you have any questions about our comments, please do not hesitate to contact my office. ATF HAS NO AUTHORITY TO IMPOSE MULTIPLE SALES REPORTING FOR RIFLES The December 17, 2010 "Emergency Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles" does not indicate the statutory authority upon which ATF relies for its proposed multiple sales reporting requirement. However, a statement by ATF Deputy Director Kenneth Melson posted online at www.atf.gov indicates that licensees will be sent "demand letters" seeking the information. This memorandum explains why ATF's "demand letter" authority does not authorize the proposed collection. The statutory authority for "demand letters" is 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(5)(A), which provides: Each licensee shall, when required by letter issued by the Attorney General, and until notified to the contrary in writing by the Attorney General, submit on a form specified by the Attorney General, for periods and at the times specified in such letter, all record information required to be kept by this chapter or such lesser record information as the Attorney General in such letter may specify. In determining whether § 923(g)(5)(A) authorizes ATF to require the reporting of multiple sales of certain rifles, its words "must be read in their context and with a view to their place in the overall statutory scheme." Davis v. Michigan Dept. of Treasury, 489 U.S. 803, 809 (1989). More recently, the Supreme Court has explained: In determining whether Congress has specifically addressed the question at issue, a reviewing court should not confine itself to examining a particular statutory provision in isolation. The meaning—or ambiguity— of certain words or phrases may only become evident when placed in context.... A court must therefore interpret the statute "as a symmetrical and coherent regulatory scheme," . . . and "fit, i f possible, all parts into an harmonious whole . . . ." FDA v. Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp., 529 U.S. 120, 133 (2000)(citations omitted). InMastro Plastics Corp. v. Labor Board, 350 U.S. 270, 285 (1956), the Court rejected an interpretation of a statute which read words in isolation: I f the above words are read in complete isolation from their context in the Act, such an interpretation is possible. However, "In expounding a statute, we must not be guided by a single sentence or member of a sentence, but look to the provisions of the whole law, and to its object and

615

policy." (citations omitted). 1 350 U.S. at 285. Thus, in determining the scope of ATF's authority under § 923(g)(5)(A), not only must § 923(g)(5)(A) itself be considered, but other statutory provisions must be considered to ascertain Congress' intent and give effect to the legislative will. Philhrook v. Glodgett, All U.S. 707, 713 (1975). With respect to multiple sales reporting, Congress has already expressly addressed this question. 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) provides: (A) Each licensee shall prepare a report of multiple sales or other dispositions whenever the licensee sells or otherwise disposes of, at one time or during any five consecutive business days, two or more pistols, or revolvers, or any combination of pistols and revolvers totalling two or more, to an unlicensed person. The report shall be prepared on a form specified by the Attorney General and forwarded to the office specified thereon and to the department of State police or State law enforcement agency of the State or local law enforcement agency of the local jurisdiction in which the sale or other disposition took place, not later than the close of business on the day that the multiple sale or other disposition occurs. It is well-established that "a statute ought, upon the whole, to be so construed that, i f it can be prevented, no clause, sentence, or word shall be superfluous, void, or insignificant." Duncan v. Walker, 533 U.S. 167, 174 (2001) (internal quotation marks omitted). I f § 923(g)(5)(A) authorizes ATF to require the reporting of multiple sales of certain rifles, § 923(g)(3)(A) is rendered superfluous and insignificant because ATF could use the authority of § 923(g)(5)(A) to require the submission of reports of multiple handgun sales. That Congress deemed necessary the enactment of § 923(g)(3)(A) reveals that Congress did not intend that § 923(g)(5)(A) have the broad reach ascribed to it by ATF. Further, "[w]hen a statute limits a thing to be done in a particular mode, it includes a negative of any other mode." Christensen v. Harris County, 529 U.S. 576, 583 (2000).1 Here, Congress expressly limited multiple sales reporting to pistols and revolvers, thereby negativing multiple sales reporting of certain rifles. The legislative history of § 923(g)(5)(A) confirms that Congress did not intend that § 923(g)(5)(A) would be used to require reporting of multiple sales reporting of certain rifles. 1 See also Bulova Watch Co. v. United States, 365 U.S. 753, 758 (1961)("It is familiar law that a specific statute controls over a general one"). 2 The original demand letter regulation (27 C.F.R. § 178.126) was promulgated under, and became effective on the same date as, the Gun Control Act of 1968, December 16, 1968. § 105(a), P.L. 90-618, 82 Stat. 1213 (1968); 33 F.R. 18555, 18556 (Dec. 14, 1968). Harold Serr, Director of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division, wrote to Senator Frank Church on December 17, 1968: [UJnder no circumstances does the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division intend to require licensed firearms dealers to submit all records of firearms transactions to a central location. This would be in effect gun registration and the Congress clearly showed its desires in this area when gun legislation was voted on. 131 Cong. Rec. S9129 (July 9, 1985). Serr wrote that the demand letter regulation would be used "when we become aware of violations of the law by an unscrupulous dealer." Id. An example would be a dealer illegally selling handguns to out-of-state residents who stated that "they could give him any name they chose." In such a situation, "we would require the dealer to submit records of his sales, not for the purpose of registration, but for the purpose of proceeding

616

against the dealer for a criminal violation of the law." Id. Serr emphasized, however, that ATF had "no intention of requiring law-abiding gun dealers to report their firearms transactions to us." Id. Section 103 of FOP A, 100 Stat. 454, amended § 923(g)(1)(A) to provide that licensees "shall not be required to submit to the Secretary reports . . . except as expressly required by this section." Such records "include, for instance, multiple sales reports and certain informational reports used in connection with tracing." S.Rep. 98-583, at 15. "See, e.g., proposed 18 U.S.C. 923(g)(4)and (5),2 discussed in more detail infra." Id. n.32. Subparagraph (4) would be enacted as the demand letter provision. § 103 of FOP A, 100 Stat. 455. That provision "is based on existing Treasury regulations describing activities which facilitate the Secretary's ability to trace the disposition of firearms in connection with criminal investigations."3 S.Rep. 98-583, at 17. The report continues: 2 Subparagraph (5) would be enacted as § 923(g)(3), which provides that a licensee shall report to the Secretary the sale of two or more handguns in a five-day period. 3 In 1994, Congress enacted § 923(g)(7), which created an explicit duty of a licensee to respond to a trace request, "orally or in writing, as the Attorney General may require" within 24 hours and authorized the Attorney General to make such requests by telephone. A trace request pursuant to § 923(g)(7) was, however, only for the purpose of "determining the disposition of 1 or more firearms in the course of a bona fide criminal investigation." 3 The purpose of Paragraph (4) is to clarify and ensure the Secretary's authority to conduct legitimate tracing activities in connection with bona fide criminal investigations. The authority granted to the Secretary under this Paragraph is intended to provide access to all information legitimately needed in sensitive criminal investigations, such as the investigation of President Reagan's attempted assassination. However, because of the breadth of the authority granted, limitations on the use of such information, which do not exist under current regulations, were included to restrict any potential for the abuse of the rights of law-abiding licensees. Id. at 18. The use of § 923(g)(5)(A) in relation to traces would be limited not only to "bona fide criminal investigations," but would be further confined by what would be enacted as § 926(a).4 As the Senate report, which referred to the demand-letter provision as the "tracing pro vision[]/'further explained: The multiple sales, out-of-business records, and tracing provisions, which, in certain respects, codify existing regulations, were included in the Committee amendment to achieve an appropriate balance between legitimate law enforcement needs and the Committee's determination to substantially restrict the circumstances under which inspections are authorized. This, in turn, reduces the potential for unwarranted intrusions into the business affairs of law-abiding licensees. However,... the authority granted under 18 U.S.C. 923(g) (3), (4) and (5), as well as that contained in paragraph (1), as amended, are not to be construed to authorize the United States . . . to use the information obtained from any records or form which are required to be maintained for inspection or submission by licensees under Chapter 44 to establish any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or dispositions. Id. at 18. 4 § 926(a) provides in part that the Attorney General may not promulgate a "rule or regulation" which would:

617

require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States . . . . 4 Specifically, § 106 of FOP A, 100 Stat. 459-60, amended § 926(a) to prohibit BATF from requiring that licensee records "be recorded at or transferred to" a government facility or establishing any registration system, but allowing the authority to conduct traces "in the course of a criminal investigation." The report states that "this 'tracing' authority is codified in the Committee's amendment," obviously referring to what would be enacted as § 923(g)(5)(A). Senate Report 98-583 at 27. Senator Orrin Hatch, floor manager of FOP A, explained of the demand letter regulation: "The Senate bill explicitly codifies regulations permitting tracing of firearms used in crimes." 132 Cong. Rec. S5351 (May 6, 1986). In later Senate debate, Senator Hatch explained of § 926(a) that "the authority to request tracing information for dealers can never be used to establish any centralized or regional registration system for firearms or firearm owners." 131 Cong. Rec. S8691 (June 24, 1985). Senator Hatch also clarified the understanding of the 1968 demand letter regulation which FOP A would codify as follows: In order to facilitate tracing offirearms used in violent crimes, licensed dealers currently are required to provide the Secretary of Treasury with information about specific weapons upon request. Further a dealer must report multiple handgun sales to the same person which occur within 5 consecutive business days, and i f the dealer is going out of business, he must send his records to the BATF rather than destroy or otherwise dispose of them. These tracing authorities are included currently in Federal regulations. 131 Cong. Rec. S8691 (June 24, 1985) (emphasis added). Senator Hatch added that "the authority to request tracing information for dealers can never be used to establish any centralized or regional registration system for firearms or firearm owners." Id. Hatch stated about § 923(g)(5)(A) that "Congress had no intent to require all law-abiding gun dealers to report all their firearms transactions" to BATF. Id. at S9129 (July 9, 1985).5 For the purpose of "clarifying the record information submission requirement for firearms licensees," Senator Hatch inserted into the record ATF Director Serr's explanation of the purpose of the demand letter regulation quoted above. Not a single senator voiced a contrary view of the purpose of § 923(g)(5)(A). Thus, the canon of statutory construction that it "is the sponsors that we look to when the 5 Senator James McClure, the chief FOPA sponsor, provided the following concise explanation: "The central compromise of the Gun Control Act of 1968 - the sine qua non for the entry of the Federal Government into any form of firearms regulation was this: Records concerning gun ownership would be maintained by dealers, not by the Federal Government and not by State and local governments." 131 Cong. Rec. S9163-64 (July 9, 1985). 5 meaning of the statutory words is in doubt," Schwegmann Bros. v. Calvert Corp., 341 U.S. 384, 394-395 (1951), applies with particular emphasis with respect to § 923(g)(5)(A). When the bill was being considered by the House after Senate passage, Edward T. Stevenson, Deputy Assistant Secretary, Enforcement and Operations, Department of the Treasury, explained the understanding of the United States of the language which became § 923(g)(5)(A): Initially, the bill could be interpreted to remove the statutory authority by which the Government may require licensees to report information from required records. Based on this authority, licensees are currently required by regulations to provide information about particular firearms transactions on request, to report multiple sales of handguns to the same

618

person, and to turn in to the Government out-of-business records upon ceasing business. Under S. 49, as passed by the Senate, these existing reporting requirements would be preserved and now specifically required by statute. Legislation to Modify the 1968 Gun Control Act: Hearings Before the Committee on the Judiciary, House of Representatives, 99t h Cong., 1s t & 2d Sess., 1139 (1986) (emphasis added). As discussed, supra, the "existing reporting requirements" referred to by Deputy Assistant Secretary Stevenson were "existing Treasury regulations describing activities which facilitate the Secretary's ability to trace the disposition of firearms in connection with criminal investigations." S.Rep. 98-583, at 17. Thus, it was the clear understanding of both Congress and the executive branch prior to the enactment of § 923(g)(5)(A) that both the original regulation and the statute as enacted by FOP A were limited in scope to (1) information from dealers who were in violation of the law, and (2) information from any dealers about specific firearms dispositions necessary for bona fide criminal investigations. Since the proposed multiple sales demand letters will apparently be sent to all dealers in a four-state area, including those who have never been found in violation of any law, and will request information about firearms that are not the subject of any criminal investigation, ATF has no authority for the proposed information collection. “

I am writing to oppose the so called emergency regulation to register multiple sales of certain rifles with BATFE as described in FR Doc. 2010-31761 from the 12/17/2010 Federal Register. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010-31761.pdf This regulation is both illegal and unnecessary. Further there is no justification for any "emergency" implementation as reported by the Washington Post: White House delayed rule meant to stop gun flow to Mexico, Washington Post, Dec. 17, 2010, On-line edition: ( http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/17/AR2010121706598.html ). * The regulation proposed is outside the statutory grant of authority to record information about multiple sales of firearms. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) specifically grants the authority to collect multiple sale information on handguns and revolvers. Other firearms are excluded and there is no implied authority to extend this reporting requirement to rifles or any other type of firearm. * "FFL" holders are already required by law to respond to BATFE requests for information on firearms distribution pursuant to criminal investigations: Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(7). * The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of information collected, which establishes a nationwide registry of "certain types of firearms" as proposed. Because of this the regulation as proposed is illegal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). "No such rule or regulation . may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established." There is a grave potential for this regulation to unduly burden citizens who are collectors or must obtain purchase permits at the local or state level to possess firearms. The proposed regulation does not say what the agency intends to do with the information but ostensibly it would be for criminal investigations. Subjecting law abiding gun owners to this type of investigation under the guise of "information collection" is an overt attempt to prevent them from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights to purchase and own firearms. This regulatory action should not be approved. Jeff Trujillo Concerned Citezen Berea, Ky

Ms Terrell: The NRA advises me that the BATF is seeking authority to demand reporting of the sales of long guns in certain circumstances from thousands of licensed dealers. Unless there is some hidden agenda behind this request, it seems to me to be silly at best, and needlessly wasteful of government resources at worst. Although I have not bought a long gun in years, and do not currently plan to, and am not in one of the states covered by this request, it seems to me that the principal effect of this authority if given will be that no matter how good the sale on a long gun might be legitimate gun owners will be discouraged from buying more than one. The supposedly targeted illegitimate buyers, however, will easily avoid being reported by any number of readily available circumventions. Taken at face value, it seems to me this pointless effort to discourage legitimate American citizen gun purchasers is stupid, wastefully costly, probably illegal, and another effort to hamper us in exercizing the rights guaranteed in the second amendment.

I strongly support the ATF's proposal to require dealers along the border to report bulk sales of assault rifles, just like they already do with handgun sales.

I don't understand how the U.S. can allow smuggling of guns into Mexico and act like it's no big deal. I mean, how ridiculous does this country want to look? What if it were reversed and American criminals were getting all their guns from Mexico? Wouldn't our government want to demand that Mexico enforce stricter gun laws? The gun zealots (pro gun rights) should be totally ignored because obviously they couldn't care less that children are murdered here all the time, and were gunned down at Columbine, Virginia Tech and Tuscon. How many children have to be murdered before we stand up against the NRA and tell them they don't run our country? All schools from elementary thru college should have strict policies about reporting anyone unstable and this information should be on that person's record. The weapons assault ban should be renewed, who needs an automatic pistol and multiple magazines to shoot deer? What kind of deer are they trying to shoot that requires these kinds of weapons? The gunshow loophole allows ANYONE to buy a gun, this is not reality, it shouldn't be as easy as buying candy. It's most likely harder to purchase a stun gun than a Glock pistol.

Barbara, Enough is enough the ATF has no legal authority to demand we report our long gun purchases to the federal government. These reports will only flood law enforcement with new paperwork and will waste scarce law enforcement resources that should be spent on legitimate investigations. When will this end. We are adults, the majority of which are law abiding citizens. We have had enough with governmental hand holding. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Jennifer Sterling

I am writing to oppose the so called emergency regulation to register multiple sales of certain rifles with BATFE as described in FR Doc. 2010-31761 from the 12/17/2010 Federal Register. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010-31761.pdf This regulation is both illegal and unnecessary. Further there is no justification for any "emergency" implementation as reported by the Washington Post: White House delayed rule meant to stop gun flow to Mexico, Washington Post, Dec. 17, 2010, On-line edition: ( http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/17/AR2010121706598.html ). * The regulation proposed is outside the statutory grant of authority to record information about multiple sales of firearms. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) specifically grants the authority to collect multiple sale information on handguns and revolvers. Other firearms are excluded and there is no implied authority to extend this reporting requirement to rifles or any other type of firearm. * "FFL" holders are already required by law to respond to BATFE requests for information on firearms distribution pursuant to criminal investigations: Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(7). * The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of information collected, which establishes a nationwide registry of "certain types of firearms" as proposed. Because of this the regulation as proposed is illegal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). "No such rule or regulation . may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established." There is a grave potential for this regulation to unduly burden citizens who are collectors or must obtain purchase permits at the local or state level to possess firearms. The proposed regulation does not say what the agency intends to do with the information but ostensibly it would be for criminal investigations. Subjecting law abiding gun owners to this type of investigation under the guise of "information collection" is an overt attempt to prevent them from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights to purchase and own firearms. This regulatory action should not be approved v/r Kevin Jensen

December 17, 2010 “Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles.” To Whom It May Concern: I am a concerned citizen that does not support big government and their desire to ban firearms or keep up with every single transaction made of a firearm. One because it would cost the taxpayers millions of extra dollars. Has the government not carelessly spent enough of the taxpayers hard earned money? Secondly because it is Unconstitutional and will do nothing more than target innocent law abiding, tax paying citizens such as myself. I love this great country of ours and the freedoms we enjoy given to us by our forefathers in the Constitution of the United States. Any attempt to ban firearms, ammunition, cartridges, clips or anything to do with firearms to me is an attempt to strip me of my God given right to keep and bear arms. I am a Christian who reads his bible all the time. And here is a scripture you and your fellow constiuents need to read. Just before his arrest and death Jesus told his disciples to sell their clothes and use the money to buy a Sword (Luke 22:35-38). Even Jesus himeslf saw a need to arm his disciples. They had swords back then, today we have guns. If we didn't have guns and only had swords, would you ban or keep a tally of every sword sold? Or if no swords, rocks? Where do you stop? Man since the beginning has made weapons and unfortunately man has used those weapons to kill other men. But having said that, if it weren't for great men like Geroge Washington taking up a gun against his British oppressors, where would we be today? Definitely would not be the great country that we are. And wouldn't even have the right probably to discuss my dislike for rules and regulations and laws placed upon me by my own government. I feel sorrow for those people gunned down by some crazy person that bought a firearm. But they do not represent the hard working, tax paying, God fearing citizens of this great Country! If you really want to fix the problems with firearms in our country, do better background checks, do mental health background checks, make states register mentally ill people as they register sex offenders. Too many mentally unstable people are walking around comitting heinous crimes and 9 times out of 10, these people have been in and out of hospitals, institutions, you name it for most of their lives. These people are the ones the ATF needs to go after and persecute. Them and the hardened criminals with a rap sheet a mile long that also have been in and out of institutions their entire lives. I ask you as a fellow American to not support these measures put before you. I understand there are problems in the world. But banning guns and having to report every single transaction isn't the answer. It only adds to the problem. All these laws are going to do is force people to buy guns off the black market and then honest people like me who go and register and do the background check to obtain their firearms will be the ones persecuted while criminals run the streets with unregistered "throw away" type guns that are practically untraceable...

I am opposed to the ATF's proposal to require all of the 8,500 firearm dealers in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas to report all sales of two or more semiautomatic rifles within five consecutive business days. The ATF has no legal authority to demand these reports, and the flood of new paperwork will waste scarce law enforcement resources that should be spent on legitimate investigations. The believe that 90% of the Mexican cartels guns comes from the United States is skewed and not true.

According to the GAO report, some 30,000 firearms were seized from criminals by Mexican authorities in 2008. Of these 30,000 firearms, information pertaining to 7,200 of them (24 percent) was submitted to the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) for tracing. Of these 7,200 guns, only about 4,000 could be traced by the ATF, and of these 4,000, some 3,480 (87 percent) were shown to have come from the United States.

This means that the 87 percent figure relates to the number of weapons submitted by the Mexican government to the ATF that could be successfully traced and not from the total number of weapons seized by Mexican authorities or even from the total number of weapons submitted to the ATF for tracing. In fact, the 3,480 guns positively traced to the United States equals less than 12 percent of the total arms seized in Mexico in 2008 and

715

less than 48 percent of all those submitted by the Mexican government to the ATF for tracing. This means that almost 90 percent of the guns seized in Mexico in 2008 were not traced back to the United States.

I oppose this attempt to attack the rights of law abiding Americans instead of focusing on the real problem and that is Mexico. Jerry Avalos California

Dear Ms. Terrell, I do not believe that the ATF has a valid explanation of why they are proposing this unacceptable action. The "problem" is with Mexico, NOT in the US border states. Personally, if I lived in a "border" state with Mexico, I would have several "Long Guns" for self-protection, and it is none the government's business to know and record how many I decide to purchase for me and my family's protection. First of all this would be a terrible waste of taxpayers money. The ATF needs to spend the limited resources to enforce the laws already on the books, and not look for a way to make many US citizens criminals, because of what they choose to purchase. Apparently this is an attempt by the ATF to start weapon "registration", nation-wide and will not be tolerated by us law-abiding citizens.

From: [email protected]: Friday, December 17, 2010 1:46 PMTo: Terrell, Barbara A.Subject: Re: Multiple Sales Reports for Rifles

Dear Ms. Terrell, May this find Well, You ‐ and All with You. I have held an FFL for 28 years and a Class III for 24 years. To the best of my knowledge, recollection, and belief, I have not sold a single firearm, that has been recovered at the scene of a crime. I hope always to be able to make this statement. The proposed requirement that a multiple sale report be filed ‐ covering sale of two or more magazine‐fed rifles, of .22 or larger caliber, within five business days ‐ is both burdensome and futile. When I make a multiple sale of handguns, I mail‐in my report by USPS Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested. I do this, because this report is a legal requirement (just as is the filing of an IRS Form 1040 tax return). I need to be able to show: (a) I mailed the report by the close of business, on the day that the second (and any additional) transfer(s) occurred; (b) that the report was received. I do not fax these reports, because I have no sure way to be sure that the report has been received. The law requires that I file the report, not that I try to file it. "Almost" doesn't count. Key point: I do not want to be the reason that a crime is not prevented, or that someone escapes justice. To file the handgun multiple sales report, I have to go to the Post Office, and wait in line, as does any other customer. That takes time and fuel. Some customers "space‐out" their purchases, as they don't want to attract "official attention". Some, 100% law‐abiding, reject my assurances that these reports are quickly reviewed and then filed. That said, these multiple sales reports are based on a misunderstanding of statistical realities. First, BATFE's own data show there are some 240,000,000 firearms in the US, about 0.8 firearms for each resident (including new‐borns, who generally don't own firearms). Something so abundant cannot be much controlled. Even so, I do what I have sworn to do. Rule of Law is, for me, a sacred principle. I've been in many countries, wherein the residents thirst for Rule of Law, as it is in the USA. Second, Mexican drug thugs move tons of drugs across our borders. Some of these drugs come into Mexico from other countries. For example, United Nations data show that Afghanistan ‐ chiefly Hilmand province ‐ is the source of 90% of the global heroin supply. Just as Mexico's drug thugs trans‐ship Bolivian or Colombian cocaine or Afghan Heroin, Mexican drug thugs can readily import whatever weaponry they need. Third, the global supply of Kalashnikov rifles is at least 70,000,000; some estimates go up to 100,000,000 units. Many regions, e.g., Afghanistan/Pakistan/Iraq, are awash with them. The drug thugs can readily acquire these weapons. A huge shipment ‐ 13 sea containers ‐ of small arms and artillery recently was found at a bonded warehouse in Lagos, Nigeria. These containers originated in Bandar Abbas, Iran. The ship was briefly at Mumbai (India), before docking at Lagos. Finally, Mexico's government protests that its police are "out‐gunned". Are we to believe that Mexico's government cannot afford to buy and to issue to its police, the AR‐type rifles, that cost perhaps $300 in contract lots? I am well familiar with Mexico's national finances.

746

If their law enforcement officers are under‐equipped, that is the fault of Mexican politicians. In sum, this policy proposal is based on statistical nonsense. It will impose a burden on me and my customers, and make no difference at all to the course of Mexico's war on its drug thugs. We help Mexico with that war. We should: they're our neighbors. If Mexico is so hard‐up ‐ and it is not ‐ that it cannot afford to buy suitable weapons for its troops, then we should donate the rifles, magazines, spare parts, ammunition, etc. Were the US to do this, I am 99.9999% sure many of those rifles will be found in drug thugs' hands. Such is Mexico. Controls in the US ‐ however severe ‐ cannot fix what is wrong in Mexico. Only the Mexicans can do that. After decades of allowing drug thugs to run rampant, the Mexicans now try to fix things. We help them: with training, intelligence, and by providing secure prisons for drug thugs extradited and convicted in our Courts. That is enough. Please do not enact this proposed multiple sales report covering rifles. It is burdensome and futile. With every warm, best wish ‐ especially that You, and those with You, should be Well, stay Safe, and have Happy Holidays and a Good, Healthy New Year ‐ I remain, Yours faithfully, Jay Edward Simkin FFL and Class III Licensee 6‐02‐011‐01‐2G‐34019 20 Cabot Drive Nashua, NH 03064 (603) 883‐2612

(The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is demanding the authority to require all of the 8,500 firearm dealers in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas to report all sales of two or more semiautomatic rifles within five consecutive business days, if the rifles are larger than .22 caliber and use detachable magazines. For example, a dealer would have to tell the government every time a deer hunter in Sacramento or Amarillo finds a good deal on a pair of semi-auto .30-06s like the popular Remington 7400.)

Here we go again wasting more taxpayers money on these issues.with all the things that are wrong in this country just can't seem to get away from wasting money on this dead issue of gun control. I believe in 2006 according to the FBI 14,000 people died of gunshot wounds, in that same year 250,000 people died from mal-practice from healthcare professionals, I stand a better chance of being killed by a nurse or doctor than I do being shot by a thug. But yet you never see these people being tried for murder.let us move on to another big issue identity theft is out of hand. One in eight people in America's identity our stolen on a daily basis. All we have to do is charge an Internet tax, say like a buck a month, there has to be like hundred and 50 million people in the United States on the Internet. Open up a law enforcement, solely to catch identity thieves. But no we woll waste more tax money on these dead issues.

From: [email protected]: Friday, February 11, 2011 10:43 AMTo: Terrell, Barbara A.Cc: [email protected]: The December 17, 2010 Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple

Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles.

Dear Ms. Terrell I am writing to inform you of my objections to the proposed information collection under review. The proposed information collection is not necessary to the proper performance of the functions of the BATFE, and does not address any immediate law enforcement need. This proposal is political in nature, and imposes an unnecessary burden on lawful commerce in the United States. Congress specifically spelled out the conditions under which reporting of multiple firearm sales is to be made, and they limited it to pistols and revolvers. The BATFE in attempting to extend this to other types of firearms is overstepping its authority. Thank you Jonathan Geist

776

Cooksey, Roberta B.

From: [email protected]: Tuesday, February 15, 2011 3:36 PMTo: Terrell, Barbara A.Subject: Oppose Regulation Expanding Multiple Sale Reporting

I am writing to oppose the so called emergency regulation to register multiple sales of certain rifles with BATFE as described in FR Doc. 2010-31761 from the 12/17/2010 Federal Register. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010-31761.pdf This regulation is both illegal and unnecessary. Further there is no justification for any "emergency" implementation as reported by the Washington Post: White House delayed rule meant to stop gun flow to Mexico, Washington Post, Dec. 17, 2010, On-line edition: ( http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/17/AR2010121706598.html ). * The regulation proposed is outside the statutory grant of authority to record information about multiple sales of firearms. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) specifically grants the authority to collect multiple sale information on handguns and revolvers. Other firearms are excluded and there is no implied authority to extend this reporting requirement to rifles or any other type of firearm. * "FFL" holders are already required by law to respond to BATFE requests for information on firearms distribution pursuant to criminal investigations: Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(7). * The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of information collected, which establishes a nationwide registry of "certain types of firearms" as proposed. Because of this the regulation as proposed is illegal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). "No such rule or regulation . may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established." There is a grave potential for this regulation to unduly burden citizens who are collectors or must obtain purchase permits at the local or state level to possess firearms. The proposed regulation does not say what the agency intends to do with the information but ostensibly it would be for criminal investigations. Subjecting law abiding gun owners to this type of investigation under the guise of "information collection" is an overt attempt to prevent them from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights to purchase and own firearms. * This regulatory action has not allowed the public sufficient time to comment.

777

This regulatory action should not be approved. - Joe Gugliemino Berlin, MA

We respectfully request you reconsider implementation of new long gun sales reporting applicable to Southwestern States. Examination of this proposal appears to us to create unnecessary intrusion to rights of privacy and would not justify either this or the expense and record keeping requirements when weighed against the minor impact this would have in combating the problem it is attempting to address.

MS Terrell, I am an avid 2nd Ammendment supporter and after reading this attached letter sent to me by the NRA, I am very concerned that my 2nd Amendment rights are again and still being threatened. I am not a lawyer or by any means knowledgeable about the way these things are formed or intended but I do know when the NRA gets involved that there is strong reason to be concerned that the Federal Government is still attempting to revoke some my right under the Constitution of the United States of America, this time it is………………… Amendment 2 - Right to Bear Arms. Ratified 12/15/1791. A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. We as Americans have fought and died for the survival of all our rights as Human Beings and Americans since before the ratification of our Constitution and after. I for one am not willing to budge on any portion of this document we have come to know as our Constitution! It seems to me that the interests of our nation as a whole has not being taken into consideration, but only the political vehicle which is attempting to strip the American way of Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness from all Legal Citizens of these United States, this brings me to one final thought. I am a legal law abiding citizen of The United States and I STRONGLY OBJECT to any person coming to our country and not being legal as well as being supported by my tax dollars against my approval. I have worked long and hard to earn what little I have and to know that these illegals are allowed the same if not more benefits and privileges that I have worked my whole life for and then given this for free!!! This disgusts me!!!! I do hope and pray that this current action by our government is stopped and that you will do the right thing for the citizens of the USA and not give into the pressures of the liberal faction in this country that are seeking to totally control its citizens, which by the way, is not how our forefathers envisioned OR intended this country to be governed.

Dear Ms. Terrell: I am writing to oppose the so called emergency regulation to register multiple sales of certain rifles with BATFE as described in FR Doc. 2010-31761 from the 12/17/2010 Federal Register. (http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010-31761.pdf) This regulation is both illegal and unnecessary. Further there is no justification for any "emergency" implementation as reported by the Washington Post: White House delayed rule meant to stop gun flow to Mexico, Washington Post, Dec. 17, 2010, On-line edition: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/17/AR2010121706598.html * The regulation proposed is outside the statutory grant of authority to record information about multiple sales of firearms. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) specifically grants the authority to collect multiple sale information on handguns and revolvers. Other firearms are excluded and there is no implied authority to extend this reporting requirement to rifles or any other type of firearm. * "FFL" holders are already required by law to respond to BATFE requests for information on firearms distribution pursuant to criminal investigations: Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(7). * The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of information collected, which establishes a nationwide registry of "certain types of firearms" as proposed. Because of this the regulation as proposed is illegal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). "No such rule or regulation . may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established." There is a grave potential for this regulation to unduly burden citizens who are collectors or must obtain purchase permits at the local or state level to possess firearms. The proposed regulation does not say what the agency intends to do with the information but ostensibly it would be for criminal investigations. Subjecting law abiding gun owners to this type of investigation under the guise of "information collection" is an overt attempt to prevent them from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights to purchase and own firearms. * This regulatory action has not allowed the public sufficient time to comment. This regulatory action should not be approved. Thank you for your consideration.

From: Jim Dewulf [[email protected]]Sent: Saturday, February 12, 2011 8:05 AMTo: Terrell, Barbara A.Subject: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing on behalf of the National Rifle Association of America, Inc. (NRA),

to offer our comments on this Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives

(ATF) information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

The notice proposed an "emergency" requirement that certain federal firearms

licensees report multiple sales or other dispositions whenever the licensee sells or

otherwise disposes of two or more rifles within any five consecutive

business days with the following characteristics: (a) Semi automatic; (b) a

caliber greater than .22; and (c) the ability to accept a detachable

magazine.

Now, the OMB has denied the "emergency" request. But regardless of the

timeframe in which approval is sought, ATF does not have the statutory authority to

impose this requirement on licensees.

The reasons for that lack of authority are fully explained in the attached legal

memorandum; but in short, the Congress has comprehensively defined what ATF may

and may not require with respect to licensees' records. By specifically requiring reports

only of multiple handgun sales, Congress implicitly rejected the idea of requiring reports

on multiple sales of other firearms. ATF seemed to understand that point when it

responded in October to a recommendation for multiple long gun sales reporting by the

Department of Justice Inspector General. ATF's comment on that recommendation was

that it would "explore the full range of options" but that such a requirement "may

require a change to the Gun Control Act."1

828

These reports will be requested through "demand letters"—a mechanism that for

many years had been used only to conduct firearm traces, to obtain aggregate

manufacturing statistics, or to obtain contact information for buyers of certain firearms

later declared to be subject to the National Firearms Act. Even when ATF began to use

demand letters to seek a broader range of firearm transaction records, one court

upholding that program cautioned that the demand letter statute "is not a limitless

delegation of authority" and "cannot be construed in an open-ended fashion."2

The scope of the proposed collection suggests in itself that the proposal exceeds

ATF's statutory authority. The Fourth Circuit stressed that the letter at issue in the RSM

case was sent to only 41 licensees out of the 80,000 licensees in the United States.3 A

second type of demand letter was sent to only 450 dealers nationwide.4

Now, ATF proposes to issue demand letters to approximately 8,500 licensees.

That estimate appears to be based on the total number of licensed dealers and

pawnbrokers in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. If so, nearly one out of

seven firearm retailers in the United States would receive demand letters for multiple rifle

sales.

The burden estimate in the proposal appears to assume that each licensee subject

to a demand letter will respond once during the proposed duration of the program. Given

the great variety in size and sales volume among the thousands of licensees in the border

states, this seems unlikely.

Even if the burden estimate in the proposal is correct, it is unclear how ATF could

make effective use of the large number of reports that would be generated. Recent media

reports suggest that ATF is already unable to handle dealers' voluntary, real-time reports

of possible "straw purchases."5 If processing thousands of additional mandatory reports

takes even more resources away from investigating these suspicious transactions, the

proposed information collection may be more harmful than helpful.

829

The NRA is well aware that ATF would, understandably, like to take strong steps

to address drug-related violence in Mexico. But lawlessness in Mexico—driven by

multi-billion dollar drug cartels with access to any and all types of arms on the

international black markets—is no excuse for U.S. law enforcement agencies to spend

scarce resources on programs that exceed their legal powers.

Therefore, OMB should deny ATF's request to approve its proposed collection of

information.

Re: Federal Register Notice of December 17, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 242, Page 79021), 60-Day Emergency Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles

Dear Ms. Terrell,

There are a number of interesting comments that I could make concerning this proposal. However, I believe NRA/ILA has covered most of them.

By requiring this reporting for dealers in AZ, CA, NM, and TX the BATFE is leaving itself open to the potential of legal action for discrimination or perhaps even profiling. The requirement is only going to be levied on dealers in 4 states, not all 50. Many of these dealers are of Hispanic descent and the case may be made that requiring a Hispanic gun dealer in AZ to file Federal reports not required of a white gun dealer in WV falls under both anti-discrimination and/or anti-profiling statutes. A case could even be made in AZ that this requirement is further punishment of the state by the administration for the AZ Illegal Immigration Bill.

I know that if I was an FFL holder that this regulation would impact if it went into effect, went into effect I would immediately file a lawsuit against BATFE and Acting Director Melson.

It also appears to me that BATFE is having enough issues with the Congress and the Courts to open this can of worms.

MS. Terrell: Just what the world needs, another piece of paper that is put in a file that nobody reads unless it is to point a finger in the future. We have more than enough documentation, laws etc. The BATFE doesn’t have the resources it needs to focus on what it is chartered to do let alone to go beyond legality in this effort. If guns are going south block the route, deal with illegal trespassers crossing our borders. BTW isn’t that the responsibility of another Federal agency and not BATFE?

Dear Barbara A. Terrell, According to the December 17, 2010 "Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles"The BATFE is considering requiring gun dealers to report when a law abiding citizen purchases 2 or more semiautomatic rifles in a 5 day period. DON'T DO IT! It would be a huge waste of resources, time, money and man power to require such reporting. Drug cartels aren't getting their guns 2 or 3 at a time from straw purchases in the U.S.A. They are getting planeloads of fully automatic machine guns from illegal gun dealers from places in Eastern Europe and Asia. Sincerely, Jim Gibson Gilbert, AZ

Dear Mrs Terrell, I am one American who does not feel mandatory tracking or federal notification when a LEGAL CITIZEN of the United States buys a firearm is appropriate. I do feel that gaining control of the border via ANY means necessary is the correct way to go. However punishing Americans for Mexico's issues is definitely not the the way to do. I oppose any registration or notification of any guns in American. I agree with increasing penalties for gun runners, with VERY severe punishment for illegal immigrants, gang members, or anyone associated with crime in the United States. Singling out Border states or the rest of the United States in not going to fix the problem. What will fix the problem is getting control of the border with armed military, armed border patrol agents, and a well trained and armed group of regulated citizen volunteers who have the backing of the United States Government to go to any extremes necessary to stop illegal border activity. Lets get serious about the border problems and stop trying to punish law abiding United States Citizens for the short comings of Mexico, even if they do live in a border state.

I am writing to oppose the so called emergency regulation to register multiple sales of certain rifles with BATFE as described in FR Doc. 2010-31761 from the 12/17/2010 Federal Register. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010-31761.pdf This regulation is both illegal and unnecessary. Further there is no justification for any "emergency" implementation as reported by the Washington Post: White House delayed rule meant to stop gun flow to Mexico, Washington Post, Dec. 17, 2010, On-line edition: ( http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/17/AR2010121706598.html ). * The regulation proposed is outside the statutory grant of authority to record information about multiple sales of firearms. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) specifically grants the authority to collect multiple sale information on handguns and revolvers. Other firearms are excluded and there is no implied authority to extend this reporting requirement to rifles or any other type of firearm. * "FFL" holders are already required by law to respond to BATFE requests for information on firearms distribution pursuant to criminal investigations: Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(7). * The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of information collected, which establishes a nationwide registry of "certain types of firearms" as proposed. Because of this the regulation as proposed is illegal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). "No such rule or regulation . may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established." There is a grave potential for this regulation to unduly burden citizens who are collectors or must obtain purchase permits at the local or state level to possess firearms. The proposed regulation does not say what the agency intends to do with the information but ostensibly it would be for criminal investigations. Subjecting law abiding gun owners to this type of investigation under the guise of "information collection" is an overt attempt to prevent them from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights to purchase and own firearms. This regulatory action has not allowed the public sufficient time to comment. This regulatory action should not be approved. Furthermore, I will be lobbying all my elected federal officials to disband the BATFE as it is a threat to our personal liberties and Constitution.

Madam or Sir, I am sending you this email in reference to the December 17, 2010 “Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles.” The DOJ - ATF Federal Register Notice says that, as a member of the public, I am asked to comment on the following points. My comments are in red: —Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; I understand that the ATF has undertaken massive efforts to stem the suspected flow of weapons across the US border to Mexico and would like to create another way of looking for this flow of weapons. This flow does not exist. The drug dealers in Mexico have no need to buy SEMI-Automatic weapons in the US when they can purchase fully automatic weapons from the Mexican Army or their weapons suppliers. In addition, this information could be the beginning of an ATF effort to create an unauthorized weapons purchased data base that the Congress has NOT authorized. This is NOT a proper function of the ATF agency. For this reason, the request should be denied. —Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; The agency has estimated that only 1,696 hours of business time will be required to accomplish the collection of this information. Excuse me, 1,696 hours to FILL OUT THE FORMS FOR THE ATF to accomplish the collection of this information. Plus ANY time spent on researching this request and, if extended after the initial request, many more hours to try to keep track of these purchases. I suggest that the estimate of the burden created by this proposal is grossly underestimated and this request should be denied. —Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and From my two previous comments, any additional proposal to "enhance the ... information to be collected" would just increase the onerousness of this proposal. This request should be denied and NO enhancement should occur. —Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms

855

of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. Minimizing the burden would be nice IF the burden were to produce any legal, appropriate and effective information. The best minimization is the rejection of this request. Clearly, I think this request is out of order and should be denied by the OMB. Thank you for giving attention to this comment.

I am writing to oppose the so called emergency regulation to register multiple sales of certain rifles with BATFE as described in FR Doc. 2010-31761 from the 12/17/2010 Federal Register. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010-31761.pdf This regulation is both illegal and unnecessary. Further there is no justification for any "emergency" implementation as reported by the Washington Post: White House delayed rule meant to stop gun flow to Mexico, Washington Post, Dec. 17, 2010, On-line edition: ( http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/17/AR2010121706598.html ). * The regulation proposed is outside the statutory grant of authority to record information about multiple sales of firearms. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) specifically grants the authority to collect multiple sale information on handguns and revolvers. Other firearms are excluded and there is no implied authority to extend this reporting requirement to rifles or any other type of firearm. * "FFL" holders are already required by law to respond to BATFE requests for information on firearms distribution pursuant to criminal investigations: Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(7). * The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of information collected, which establishes a nationwide registry of "certain types of firearms" as proposed. Because of this the regulation as proposed is illegal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). "No such rule or regulation . may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established." There is a grave potential for this regulation to unduly burden citizens who are collectors or must obtain purchase permits at the local or state level to possess firearms. The proposed regulation does not say what the agency intends to do with the information but ostensibly it would be for criminal investigations. Subjecting law abiding gun owners to this type of investigation under the guise of "information collection" is an overt attempt to prevent them from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights to purchase and own firearms.

Barbara, Like many people contacting you, I am protesting the the proposed requirement for dealers to being reporting, at a national level, the sale of: two or more rifles within any five consecutive business days with the following characteristics: (a) Semi automatic; (b) a caliber greater than .22; and (c) the ability to accept a detachable magazine. This is an obvious response to media portrayals of drug gang related violence in Mexico. It does nothing good and several things bad for Americans, and attempts to encroach upon the rights of Americans to purchase and retain various classes of firearms. In other words, another ploy in the "incremental reduction" of gun rights a little bit at a time over time. Even the basis of the concern is specious, since ATF admitted the majority of the firearms recovered in Mexico could not be traced to commercial sales in the US. Existing laws, if enforced, which includes letting the US Border Patrol have realistic rules of engagement concerning the use of deadly force, will be much more effective in protecting American lives that a feel good back door gun control measure. Thank you for your attention in this regard. Jim Showalter Alexandria, Virginia

Re: Federal Register Notice of December 17, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 242, Page 79021), 60‐Day Emergency Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles As a gun owner in Texas the above multiple sale required reporting by licensed dealers in Mexico bordered States is poor attempt to help control a Mexican drug cartel problem. As usual the media is running our government agencies with hype and not facts. The drug cartels are not buying legal firearms from legal dealers in the US as they can afford to purchase large quantity of firearms on the world black‐market more efficiently than making occasional purchases thru US dealers. This reporting will create more paper forms than you have manpower to review and the information on them is already being recorded by the dealers and available to investigators as needed. It is my understanding that dealers are volunteering to report suspicious purchases now, so why not trust your licensed dealers to cooperate instead of mandating action that will cost them money, and in turn their customers, for action that you already admit will not generate beneficial information. Please drop the above proposal and look to enforcing border crossings by illegal's as a more productive use of resources. Thanks for your time.

Good morning Barbara, I'm going to try to be professional and proper in my letter to you. I just read several paragraphs of the Justice departments reasons for more rules for gun dealers to follow. As always in my humble opinion the justice department as well as all other departments of the government are so out of touch with reality, they are looking for someone or something to blame for the problem of controlling guns, drugs or people crossing the border. Picking on gun dealers is easy and has no risk. No agent should have to leave their office, they can just look at reports all day as the problems escalate. Their are laws to control gun sales now, enforce them There are drug laws now, enforce them. There are alien entry laws now, enforce them The government is in total denial, about any of this for some reason, oh maybe it is about the money that the drug trafficking generates to prop up the Mexican government. If we actually stopped the problem, then we wouldn't need so many government employees sitting behind desks writing incoherent crap as stated in the justice department dribble that I just read.

Good day Barbara, As a gun owner and Law Enforcement Officer, I hate to see the "reaction" of BATFE and the Long gun reporting. So often in Law Enforcement we see weapons used that were obtained illegally. The problem in our Great Country isn't the lack of reporting on legal purchases, it's keeping the illegal guns out of the hands of criminals, and letting the criminals out of jail or prison to commit these crimes all over again. Our Country needs retention of criminals not the retention of gun owners registration (stats). Stronger protection of our boarders, less restrictions on Law Enforcement while doing their jobs protecting the people of this country. With all the gruesome murders in Mexico and our border towns, you should be encouraging our citizens to buy more weapons, not restrict them from protecting their selves. Please stop the Long Gun Sales Reporting and let us (cops) on the street do our jobs without big brother criticizing every move we make, and sending the criminals that we arrest, back on the streets for us to round up again. My family and honest American citizens should have the right to purchase long guns or any weapon to protect their self's without worrying about registration, limits, waiting periods, etc. Criminals shoot up cops houses too, and their weapons aren't registered legally. Think it through before we make more useless rules and laws.

Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) specifically grants the authority to collect multiple sale information on handguns and revolvers. Other firearms are excluded and there is no implied authority to extend this reporting requirement to rifles or any other type of firearm. * ”FFL” holders are already required by law to respond to BATFE requests for information on firearms distribution pursuant to criminal investigations: Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(7). * The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of information collected, which establishes a nationwide registry of “certain types of firearms” as proposed. Because of this the regulation as proposed is illegal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). ”No such rule or regulation … may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established.” There is a grave potential for this regulation to unduly burden citizens who are collectors or must obtain purchase permits at the local or state level to possess firearms. The proposed regulation does not say what the agency intends to do with the information but ostensibly it would be for criminal investigations. Subjecting law abiding gun owners to this type of investigation under the guise of “information collection” is an overt attempt to prevent them from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights to purchase and own firearms. * This regulatory action has not allowed the public sufficient time to comment. This regulatory action should not be approved.

This response is a load of garbage. This policy has nothing to do with fighting crime on the southern border. It is about the federal govenment and the BATFE trying to expand their power. Since the mexican drug cartels have the money they do, wh y would they buy semi auto firearms when the have the ability to steal/purchase full auto weapons on the black market, cheaper and easier. This is a straw man argument being used to expand the governments power by skirting current restrictions placed on the BATFE.

The primary purpose of this program is to improve law enforcement’s ability to identify firearms traffickers, to disrupt the criminal activity and to stop deadly violence plaguing the southwest border States and Mexico. The multiple sales reports will apply only to rifles that are semi-automatic, greater than .22 caliber, and have the ability to accept a detachable magazine. Federal firearms licensees in the States of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas will complete the forms for those transactions when an individual purchases two or more of these rifles within five business days. We intend to evaluate the results at the end of a 1 year pilot period.

Dear Ms. Terrell,

My family and friends are against the proposed border states imposed reporting on certain firearms. This is burdensome and not likely to be effective as most already know. Please consider stopping this futile and wasteful effort. This proposal is very unpopular with the voting population. We feel that the government is not doing an effective job and should concentrate efforts towards the actual problem/s.

Thank you for your consideration.

I strongly support the ATF's proposal to require dealers along the border to report bulk sales of assault rifles, just like they already do with handgun sales.

We have too many guns in this country ‐ I don't care whose hands they are in. I vehemently reject the saying that "guns don't kill people, people kill people." That's absurd. Guns make it easy for people to kill people and innocent animals. We wouldn't have the high numbers of shootings and killings in this country or the high crime rate of robbery and assaults were it not for the prolific presence of guns. The NRA be damned ‐ they do not speak for me or for people and families who have been victims of crime involving guns. They do not speak for people who follow in Jesus' footsteps. The gun has one purpose ‐ to kill ‐ not to defend the nation because modern wars are fought with high tech equipment and guns that are specific to the military. China invented the gun I believe. They have destroyed western civilization with it and now they are destroying us economically also. Get smart.

It’s time that Obama administration does more to crack down on the gun smuggling carried out by the Mexican drug cartels. I strongly support the ATF's proposal to require dealers along the border to report bulk sales of assault rifles, just like they already do with handgun sales. The ATF must use its authority to collect this information and better enforce the laws already on the books. With more than 30,000 people already murdered in cartel wars, this is an emergency that demands our government’s immediate attention. Joan Heron 25253 Nestwa Trail Idyllwild, CA 92549

From: Joan Yates [[email protected]]Sent: Sunday, February 13, 2011 8:03 PMTo: Terrell, Barbara A.Subject: I oppose the ATF multi-rifle sale reporting requirements:

I am writing to oppose the so called emergency information collection request to register multiple sales of certain rifles with BATFE as described in FR Doc. 2010–31761 from the 12/17/2010 Federal Register. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010‐31761.pdf This information collection is both illegal and unnecessary. Furthermore, there is no justification for any “emergency” implementation as reported by the Washington Post: 'White House delayed rule meant to stop gun flow to Mexico', Washington Post, Dec. 17, 2010, On‐line edition: ( http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp‐dyn/content/article/2010/12/17/AR2010121706598.html ). * The regulation proposed is outside the statutory grant of authority to record information about multiple sales of firearms. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) specifically grants the authority to collect multiple sale information on handguns and revolvers. Other firearms are excluded and there is no implied authority to extend this reporting requirement to rifles or any other type of firearm. * This attempt by ATF is universally and overwhelmingly opposed by citizens and their congressional delegations. See the following: http://rehberg.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=26&parentid=5&sectiontree=5,26&itemid=1584 http://www.gunleaders.com/Baucus_TesterltrtoBATFE122310.pdf http://www.gunleaders.com/blog/wp‐content/uploads/2011/02/senateatfletter020111.pdf * ”FFL” holders are already required by law to respond to BATFE requests for information on firearms distribution pursuant to criminal investigations: Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(7). * The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of information collected, which establishes a nationwide registry of “certain types of firearms” as proposed. Because of this the regulation as proposed is illegal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). ”No such rule or regulation … may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established.” There is a grave potential for this information collection to unduly burden citizens who are collectors or must obtain purchase permits at the local or state level to possess firearms. The proposed regulation does not say what the agency intends to do with the information but ostensibly it would be for criminal investigations. Subjecting law abiding gun owners to this type of investigation under the guise of “information collection” is an overt attempt to prevent them from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights to purchase and own firearms.

Dear Barbara Terrell, It’s time that the Obama administration does more to crack down on the gun smuggling carried out by the Mexican drug cartels. I strongly support the ATF's proposal to require dealers along the border to report bulk sales of assault rifles, just like they already do with handgun sales. The ATF must use its authority to collect this information and better enforce the laws already on the books. With more than 30,000 people already murdered in cartel wars, this is an emergency that demands our government’s immediate attention. Joann Thompson 2114 3rd West Seattle, WA 98119

Re: December 17, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 242, Page 79021), 60 Day Emergency Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: As a concerned citizen and I am writing to offer my comments on this Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) information collection requests to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

I urge you to deny the ATF request to institute this requirement on federal firearms licensees. The proposed collection exceeds ATF’s statutory authority, adds unnecessary burdens on licensed businesses, ATF resources, and infringes upon citizens lawfully purchasing firearms. ATF should devote resources to investigating and prosecuting criminals under existing laws and the federal government should be protecting our borders from drug and human traffickers.

Ms. Terrell, I would like to offer my comments on this Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The notice proposed an "emergency" requirement that certain federal firearms licensees report multiple sales or other dispositions whenever the licensee sells or otherwise disposes of two or more rifles within any five consecutive business days with the following characteristics: (a) Semi automatic; (b) a caliber greater than .22; and (c) the ability to accept a detachable magazine. Now, the OMB has denied the "emergency" request. But regardless of the timeframe in which approval is sought, ATF does not have the statutory authority to impose this requirement on licensees. These programs appear to exceed their legal powers. The flood of new paperwork will waste scarce law enforcement resources that should be spent on legitimate investigations. This request should Not be granted. Sincerely, Joe Corral

I appreciate the concern regarding illegal trafficking in firearms and in particular with respect to Mexico. I believe in and support full enforcement of existing laws and full prosecution of those acting with willful disregard to the law. Current law enforcement techniques of observation of those ( and I believe already identified) retail establishments suspected of willfully or unknowingly participating in shill purchases for unlawful gun trafficking, along with high profile prosecution is an appropriate response to the issue.

I am writing in regard to a change being considered to ATF's authority and to say that ANY increase in the amount of the ATF’s authority is too much. I know that, like any other agency, the ATF has good people and bad people working there, i.e., those that enforce laws fairly and equally and those that take their "authority” and run amok. But, the case really is that registering guns accomplishes nothing other than creating new jobs, wasting money and resources that could be used more effectively in other places, increasing the cost of doing business for legitimate dealers, and raising the cost of products that Americans wish to buy. Besides that, the ATF’s staff is already over-burdened with duties and responsibilities they cannot adequately perform now. It is a horrendously bad idea to give more power to an agency that has too much already... NO, NO, NO, NO. Americans are waking up and getting very fed up with a federal government that is continually telling us what we can and/or cannot due. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is now demanding the authority to require all of the 8,500 firearm dealers in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas to report all sales of two or more semiautomatic rifles within five consecutive business days, if the rifles are larger than .22 caliber and use detachable magazines. For example, a dealer would have to tell the government every time a deer hunter in Sacramento or Amarillo finds a good deal on a pair of semi-auto .30-06s like the popular Remington 7400. The ATF has no legal authority to demand these reports, and the flood of new paperwork will waste scarce law enforcement resources that should be spent on legitimate investigations. As I understand it, comments on this proposed change are being accepted until Monday, February 14. The above are my comments in this matter.

How dare you take my tax dollars and spend them on a waste of time.

Those people buy them on the street as the crime bureau shows. I went along with the other hand gun owners and said, this will ultimately protect us as legal shooters. but prior to any action being taken on a long barreled weapon sale, i request that you IE: the federal government make available a copy of the hand gun check, by mailing a copy to the purchaser. at that time we will believe you and only then.and until then, and if the federal government cannot and will not do this, i assume you did nothing but harass legal citizens and try to put a leg up on abolishing handgun ownership by legal citizens. I hold a license to carry a concealed weapon in one of the most difficult countries on the planet. i will personally urge the NRA and all other sporting organizations , to have a bill put into action to ban the sale of hair spray in the U.S. as it can be used as a lethal weapon.

Have criminals and illegal aliens tracked and prosecuted dont regulate legitamate and already state registered guns purchased.

----- Forwarded Message ---- From: The Firearms Coalition's e-Update <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, February 15, 2011 12:13:00 PM Subject: [Fcalerts e-Update] Fwd: Action Alert -- Long Gun Sales Reporting Action Alert . . . .

Action Alert . . . . Immediate Action Needed – Window Closes Today!! Copy the text of the email below or rewrite it in your own words and email it to: [email protected] The comment period has been extended for the ATF’s proposed “temporary,” emergency regulation requiring firearms dealers to file reports every time someone purchases more than one semi-auto long gun, but that comment period closes this Tuesday, February 15. The ATF claims the reporting is necessary to combat the flow of firearms across the border into Mexico, but recent revelations and accusations raise significant questions about ATF’s motives and the efficacy of such a reporting requirement. In what has been dubbed “Project Gunwalker” ATF is accused of allowing hundreds of AR and AK- type rifles to be sold in questionable sales and smuggled across the border – including two rifles recovered after a shootout with bandits on the border in which Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed. The implications of the Project Gunwalker scandal are that ATF has already been receiving significant, voluntary cooperation from gun

1082

dealers in the border states, but that the agency has used that cooperation more to build support for their Project Gunrunner interdiction program and justify the need for the emergency reporting regulation by inflating the numbers of illegally “trafficked” weapons tracked across the border. Beyond the complications of Project Gunwalker, the idea of requiring reporting of multiple long gun sales is clearly in conflict with established congressional mandates and restrictions on ATF’s authority. Back in 1968 when the federal Gun Control Act was passed Congress included a requirement that multiple sales of handguns be reported to ATF and local law enforcement. At that time, and several times since, Congress has had the opportunity to include multiple sales of long guns in the reporting requirements and they have chosen not to do so. Congress has also passed several resolutions and included language in laws restricting ATF and other government agencies from instituting any sort of registration program or collecting detailed information from firearms sales without a direct connection to a specific criminal investigation. By attempting to push through this major regulatory change without congressional approval, ATF is seriously overstepping their legal authority. Here is a sample letter which we ask you to copy and paste into an email or use as a template for writing a letter of your own to email in response to this proposal. To: [email protected] Subject: Oppose Regulation Expanding Multiple Sale Reporting I am writing to oppose the so called emergency regulation to register multiple sales of certain rifles with BATFE as described in FR Doc. 2010-31761 from the 12/17/2010 Federal Register. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010-31761.pdf This regulation is both illegal and unnecessary. Further there is no justification for any "emergency" implementation as reported by the Washington Post: White House delayed rule meant to stop gun flow to Mexico, Washington Post, Dec. 17, 2010, On-line edition: ( http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/17/AR2010121706598.html ). * The regulation proposed is outside the statutory grant of authority to record information about multiple sales of firearms. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) specifically grants the authority to collect multiple sale information on handguns and revolvers. Other firearms are excluded and there is no implied authority to extend this reporting requirement to rifles or any other type of firearm. * "FFL" holders are already required by law to respond to BATFE requests for information on firearms distribution pursuant to criminal investigations: Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(7). * The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of information collected, which establishes a nationwide registry of "certain types of firearms" as proposed. Because of this the regulation as proposed is illegal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). "No such rule or regulation . may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such

1083

records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established." There is a grave potential for this regulation to unduly burden citizens who are collectors or must obtain purchase permits at the local or state level to possess firearms. The proposed regulation does not say what the agency intends to do with the information but ostensibly it would be for criminal investigations. Subjecting law abiding gun owners to this type of investigation under the guise of "information collection" is an overt attempt to prevent them from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights to purchase and own firearms. * This regulatory action has not allowed the public sufficient time to comment. This regulatory action should not be approved. # # # Whether you use this specific language, edit it, or compose a letter of your own, please take action immediately!

I suggest opposition to expanding multiple sales reporting. What BATFE needs is further oversight by Congress. The agency has need of serious control to the point I would support its disbanding if it were suggested. I have been monitoring The reports of suspected mismanagement of the agency brought by others, yet that has been ignored by both Congress and The Department of Justice. I even see the suggestions of malfeasance and possible criminal activity. I am just convinced the best possible outcome would in fact be the disbanding of the agency and placing its investigative duties to other law enforcement agencies.

Ms. Terrell, This proposal is so rediculous, I can't see how ATF would even consider it at all. The GOVERNMENT expense alone is inane. All you would be doing is pelalizing the average native born American of a very popular sport and/ or collection hobby. Why does the federal gov't. officials not realize that weapons will be procured by anyone intending to break the law to get a fast dollar ????????? It would be smarter to cancel & deny business licences to gun dealers within a hundred miles of the Mexican border, or are you just trying to brown nose the anti-gun dope sniffers? We have toooooooo much government intrevention in our lives as it is- NOT TO MENTION WHAT obama has done since taking the president's office.

Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles."

I would like to voice my support for the letter sent to you ( See Below ) by Chris W Cox executive director for the Institute for Legislative Action to the National Rifle Association. The drug cartels with their vast amount of money are not going to depend on buying firearms from licensed gun dealers here in the United States when they can and do buy fully automatic weapons from other countries around the world. The weaponry and explosives ( fully automatic weapons ) that the drug cartels use is illegal to sell here in the United States and is not available to U.S. citizens. I feel that the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms should use their resources to cut off the supply of arms and explosives coming into Mexico from other countries. Thank you. John Kraynak Puyallup Washington. To Whom It May Concern: I am writing on behalf of the National Rifle Association of America, Inc. (NRA), to offer our comments on this Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The notice proposed an "emergency" requirement that certain federal firearms licensees report multiple sales or other dispositions whenever the licensee sells or otherwise disposes of two or more rifles within any five consecutive business days with the following characteristics: (a) Semi automatic; (b) a caliber greater than .22; and (c) the ability to accept a detachable magazine. Now, the OMB has denied the "emergency" request. But regardless of the timeframe in which approval is sought, ATF does not have the statutory authority to impose this requirement on licensees. The reasons for that lack of authority are fully explained in the attached legal memorandum; but in short, the Congress has comprehensively defined what ATF may and may not require with respect to licensees' records. By specifically requiring reports only of multiple handgun sales, Congress implicitly rejected the idea of requiring reports on multiple sales of other firearms. ATF seemed to understand that point when it responded in October to a recommendation for multiple long gun sales reporting by the Department of Justice Inspector General. ATF's comment on that recommendation was 1 Tel: (703) 267-1140 • www.nraila.org <• Fax: (703) 267-3973

that it would "explore the full range of options" but that such a requirement "may require a change to the Gun Control Act."1

These reports will be requested through "demand letters"—a mechanism that for many years had been used only to conduct firearm traces, to obtain aggregate manufacturing statistics, or to obtain contact information for buyers of certain firearms later declared to be subject to the National Firearms Act. Even when ATF began to use demand letters to seek a broader range of firearm transaction records, one court upholding that program cautioned that the demand letter statute "is not a limitless

1095

delegation of authority" and "cannot be construed in an open-ended fashion."2

The scope of the proposed collection suggests in itself that the proposal exceeds ATF's statutory authority. The Fourth Circuit stressed that the letter at issue in the RSM case was sent to only 41 licensees out of the 80,000 licensees in the United States.3 A second type of demand letter was sent to only 450 dealers nationwide.4

Now, ATF proposes to issue demand letters to approximately 8,500 licensees. That estimate appears to be based on the total number of licensed dealers and pawnbrokers in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. If so, nearly one out of seven firearm retailers in the United States would receive demand letters for multiple rifle sales. The burden estimate in the proposal appears to assume that each licensee subject to a demand letter will respond once during the proposed duration of the program. Given the great variety in size and sales volume among the thousands of licensees in the border states, this seems unlikely. Even I f the burden estimate in the proposal is correct, it is unclear how ATF could make effective use of the large number of reports that would be generated. Recent media reports suggest that ATF is already unable to handle dealers' voluntary, real-time reports of possible "straw purchases."5 If processing thousands of additional mandatory reports takes even more resources away from investigating these suspicious transactions, the proposed information collection may be more harmful than helpful. The NRA is well aware that ATF would, understandably, like to take strong steps to address drug-related violence in Mexico. But lawlessness in Mexico—driven by multi-billion dollar drug cartels with access to any and all types of arms on the international black markets—is no excuse for U.S. law enforcement agencies to spend scarce resources on programs that exceed their legal powers. Therefore, OMB should deny ATF's request to approve its proposed collection of information. If you have any questions about our comments, please do not hesitate to contact my office. cc: Barbara A.

For example, a dealer would have to tell the government every time a deer hunter in Sacramento or Amarillo finds a good deal on a pair of semi-auto .30-06s like the popular Remington 7400.

Dear Barbara Terrell, It’s time that the Obama administration does more to crack down on the gun smuggling carried out by the Mexican drug cartels. I strongly support the ATF's proposal to require dealers along the border to report bulk sales of assault rifles, just like they already do with handgun sales. The ATF must use its authority to collect this information and better enforce the laws already on the books. With more than 30,000 people already murdered in cartel wars, this is an emergency that demands our government’s immediate attention. John Blackiston 4800 S.

Please OPPOSE the “Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles.” This is an unnecessary regulation and is not allowed under Federal law. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) does not grant any such registration of multiple purchases of firearms, except for handguns. The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of the collected information, and therefore is not legal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a).

I live in a small city and spend many hours maintaining and restoring trust‐owned forest land a few miles outside of town. Two weeks ago, for the first time in many years, I was reminded how valuable it is to be free from gun violence when an angry outlaw motorcycle rider told me I would be shot if I continued to interfere with his riding and tree cutting on the trust property.

Other Disposition of Certain Rifles.

Dear Ms. Barbara A. Terrell I'm just a simple historian, not a legal scholar. But I do beleive that if the people of the United States wanted more stringent laws about guns, gun ownership and gun purchases, we would urge our legislators to pass those laws. I'm not sensing a huge outcry from the American people for another level of reporting requirement through constutitionally proper legislative means. Thus creating and enforcing another pointless bureacratically created regulation is simply another intrusion by an over-reaching federal bureaucracy. Perhaps if the BATF spent a more time and effort actually cultivating positive relationships with law-abiding gun owners and gun dealers rather than treating us all as "criminals in waiting" we might be a bit more willing to contact you about the non-law-abiding folks. Perhaps an effort to stop the movement of goods and people across the border illegally, pursuing large scale illegal gunshipments, and ensuring the integrity of your investigations and officials would prove more fruitful and would be far more popular with the American people and American gun-owners. When the federal government in general, the Justice Department and the Treasury Department and the Department of Homeland Security get serious about enforcing the border in BOTH directions, perhaps then we might see these proposed bureaucratic rules as something more than another attempt to intrude and harass legitimate gun dealers and gun owners.

Good Day, It appears to me that your agency increasing a problem rather than solving one. The proposal is in response to Mexico's Presidents accusation that it is the sale of onesies twosies in the border states that is fueling the gangsterism along the border. This cannot be further from the truth. In fact there is so much money in the drug trade that the gangsters can and do purchase from semi ligit arms brokers. All you are doing with this request is creating more paperwork for an already overloaded administrative staff. If that is the purpose, is get a bigger staff to handle the additional paperwork, and get a bigger budget to pay for it, meaning more managers at a higher pay grade, you are doing the American Public a serious dis-service. Please think again this request and remove it. Look to control the arms dealers and their method of delivery. If it is against our laws prosecute it. If it isn't, we are not the worlds cops and we should ignore it. COME DOWN HARD ON THE BREAKER OF OUR LAWS IGNORE THE REST UNLESS SPECIFICALLY ASKED!

MS Terrell; It seems to me that the ATF already has this information available since I am required to get approval for each firearm I purchase by serial number. Seems like it is a technological NOT a legal issue that requires another law. I also fail to see how this law will keep weapons out of the hands of the "bad guys". Mexico has one of the most restrictive gun laws in the hemisphere. Yet, the cartels and anyone with right $ can obtain a weapon. As a shooter, I must insure that my vehicle is cleaned of any ammo I might have dropped when I go into Mexico.... even one cartridge left inadvertently, can land me in jail for a long time. Bottom-line: Their laws as restrictive as they are do little to control the violence.. NM Resident

Some of our guns may find their way to Mexico, there are thousands of unregistered firearms finding their way to Mexico that have absolutely nothing to do with law abiding citizens in the United States.

Can you please explain to me why is it that every time that a deranged individual commits a crime by killing others that this government wants to restrict further our second amendment rights? Instead of pursuing the, already thousands of laws, we have on the books and focusing your attention on the CRIMINAL use of firearms and protecting the rights of law abiding Americans. Stop your UN-American efforts of disarming the people, as our constitution, (and Supreme court ruling as an individual right), dictates. We are well aware that the government is just playing on the fears of uninformed and fearful Americans in regards to gun control. Such ignorance on peoples part is not an excuse for this government to take away my constitutionally guaranteed rights regardless of fact-less contemporary mores.

TO: Ms. Barbara Terrell, ATF Dear Ms. Terrell, I, like most Americans are supportive of the work the ATF does on a routine basis for America, however, the subject proposal is an over-reaction to the problems in Mexico is a waste of taxpayers money and a waste of time for the small business owners of gun shops in California and elsewhere. I am not minimizing the problems in Mexico and certainly as a nation we have a vested interest in the ability of Mexico to maintain peace and order within their borders. However this administration's continual campaign to blame American gun shops for the ready availability of weapons in Mexico is getting a little old. It doesn't take much imagination to see that a supply of semi-automatic weapons are readily available from a variety of sources and that the cartels have no need to buy their guns in America. Let's just enforce our existing laws and not waste ATF resources on this program....heaven knows, the federal government these days is growing at an alarming rate and we certainly do not need the ATF demanding more resources so another program can be instituted. America's small business community is buried under a mountain of regulation demanded by government agencies, at every level. Our small businesses are dropping like flies from the recession and government regulation. I know, I am a small business owner myself. Please withdraw the subject proposal....please advise the Dept. of Justice that this program is not in the best interest of the nation. It's no secret that A.G. Holder is no fan of private gun ownership....is this another move by the Justice Dept. to burden the gunshop owners until they just give up and quit? Americans value their Second Amendment rights and do not appreciate any effort by the government to undermine our rights under the Constitution irrespective of the tactics used. Again, I wish to thank the personnel of the ATF for their brave and dedicated service. Thank you. John Davis 2022 Seville St., Santa Rosa, Ca.

I have significant concerns about the far reaching request for the use of demand letters four thousands of firearms transactions that have no direct connection to illegal use.

It would appear that the use of demand letters to track down the illegal sale of specific weapons would be a much better use of ATF resources and a much more legal use of the intent of the use of demand letters.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I am writing to oppose the so called emergency regulation to register multiple sales of certain rifles with BATFE as described in FR Doc. 2010-31761 from the 12/17/2010 Federal Register. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010-31761.pdf This regulation is both illegal and unnecessary. Further there is no justification for any "emergency" implementation as reported by the Washington Post: White House delayed rule meant to stop gun flow to Mexico, Washington Post, Dec. 17, 2010, On-line edition: ( http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/17/AR2010121706598.html ). * The regulation proposed is outside the statutory grant of authority to record information about multiple sales of firearms. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) specifically grants the authority to collect multiple sale information on handguns and revolvers. Other firearms are excluded and there is no implied authority to extend this reporting requirement to rifles or any other type of firearm. The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of information collected, which establishes a nationwide registry of "certain types of firearms" as proposed. Because of this the regulation as proposed is illegal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). "No such rule or regulation . may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established." There is a grave potential for this regulation to unduly burden citizens who are collectors or must obtain purchase permits at the local or state level to possess firearms. The proposed regulation does not say what the agency intends to do with the information but ostensibly it would be for criminal investigations. Subjecting law abiding gun owners to this type of investigation under the guise of "information collection" is an overt attempt to prevent them from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights to purchase and own firearms. This regulatory action should not be approved. Regards, John Michelli Davidsonville, Maryland

Ms.Terrell, Although your name/e-mail came to me via the NRA website,I am breaking with NRA on this issue.I am for the "emergency" multiple long gun reporting after having read previously the affadavit of an ATF agent who followed the actions of a gun-runner and the multiple buyers he used.I read this affadavit on AOL.Should that affadavit prove false I withdraw my consent. I understand this is effective for a 6 month period and I support it and possibly another 6 month extension after that.After that,I think you need to count the chips and see what has transpired. Thanks, John Gathright Manakin-Sabot,VA

Dear Barbara Terrell, It’s time that the Obama administration does more to crack down on the gun smuggling carried out by the Mexican drug cartels. I strongly support the ATF's proposal to require dealers along the border to report bulk sales of assault rifles, just like they already do with handgun sales. The ATF must use its authority to collect this information and better enforce the laws already on the books.

Oh, come on. The "deadly violence" you refer to is coming from SOUTH of the border and is being perpetrated by members of the MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS, not US citizens. These people get their guns from arms dealers or steal them from police stations where they have killed the entire force. This is just more burdening of the law abiding citizenry to make it look like we're doing something to combat the violence. All we're doing is throwing a teacup of water on a burning building. It's meaningless and it's fooling no one. Besides, we all recognize the emphasis on the "detachable magazine" crap. Here comes the so-called "assault weapon" restrictions. John Clement ----- Original Message ----- From: FIPB Regulatory Email inquiries To: John H. Clement Sent: Thursday, December 30, 2010 4:35 AM Subject: RE: Multiple sales reporting for rifles


The primary purpose of this program is to improve law enforcement’s ability to identify firearms traffickers, to disrupt the criminal activity and to stop deadly violence plaguing the Southwest Border States and Mexico. The multiple sales reports will apply only to rifles that are semi-automatic, greater than .22 caliber, and have the ability to accept a detachable magazine. ATF intends to implement this program to require that Federal firearms licensees in the States of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas complete the form for those transactions in which an individual purchases two or more of these rifles within five business days. We intend to evaluate the results at the end of a 1 year pilot period, at which time ATF may expand, narrow or discontinue the program.

Ms. B. Terrell, Let me begin this letter with this statement; the GOVERNMENT shall not infringe on the rights of lawful citizens to legally bear arms. The issues in Mexico are Mexico's issues to deal with and since the current administration wishes not to deal with it in a manner that it needs to be dealt with, the GOVERNMENT shall not infringe on the right of AMERICAN citizens to bear arms. The GOVERNMENT has already place enough "red tape" into our rights to bear arms and the only people affected by this proposal is the LAWFUL citizens. Your office, as well as all of the Government need to stop its attempt to place gun control, in effect bypassing the 2ND amendment. I will end with one of the founding Fathers quotes, "When the people fear the government, you have tyranny, when the government fears the people, you have liberty", Thomas Jefferson.

I find it irresponsible and unconstitutional for the ATF to enact powers to register sales of firearms in border states. This is in violation of the 2nd amendment of the US constitution and exceeds the legal authority of the ATF. There is no credible evidence that the arms used by the mexican drug cartels are coming from sales in the US. If you have evidence of illegal sales of firearms to mexican criminals then prosecute the individual. It is ignorant to punnish law abiding citizens of the United States for the crimes of a few. I am tired of the liberal arm of our government using unlawful means to attack our constitutional rights through the use of excessive powers of agencies withing our government.

I am commenting on the December 17, 2010 “Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles.” Aside from the fact that the ATF does not have this authority, as stated in the Senate Letter to Kenneth Melson dated Feb 1st 2011. We have seen considerable abuse of existing authority. I would refer you to the existing inquiry by Senator Grassley on the conduct of the ATF regarding the death of Agent Brian Terry, a scandal refered to as “Project Gunwalker”.

Until this abuse of power is fully investigated by the Senate, and pending its outcome, I would NOT be in favoring off adding ANY additional authority to the ATF to do ANYTHING above and beyond their current mandate.

Re: December 17, 2010 Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles

Ms. Terrell:

I wish to object to the ATF’s proposed action to require all of the estimated 8,500 firearm dealers in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas to report all sales of two or more semiautomatic rifles within five consecutive business days, if the rifles are larger than .22 caliber and use detachable magazines.

As I understand, the ATF has no legal authority to demand these reports, and in my opinion the burden of additional paperwork will waste scarce law enforcement resources.

Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, John Jessip 5333 W. Pine St. N. St. Petersburg, FL 33709

Mexican Drug Wars: Bloodiest Year to Date Mexico: Dynamics of the Gun Trade

U.S. Government Accountability Office Report on Arms Trafficking

1256

STRATFOR is not responsible for the content of other Web sites.

By Scott Stewart

For several years now, STRATFOR has been closely watching developments in Mexico that relate to what we consider the three wars being waged there. Those three wars are the war between the various drug cartels, the war between the government and the cartels and the war being waged against citizens and businesses by criminals.

In addition to watching tactical developments of the cartel wars on the ground and studying the dynamics of the conflict among the various warring factions, we have also been paying close attention to the ways that both the Mexican and U.S. governments have reacted to these developments. Perhaps one of the most interesting aspects to watch has been the way in which the Mexican government has tried to deflect responsibility for the cartel wars away from itself and onto the United States. According to the Mexican government, the cartel wars are not a result of corruption in Mexico or of economic and societal dynamics that leave many Mexicans marginalized and desperate to find a way to make a living. Instead, the cartel wars are due to the insatiable American appetite for narcotics and the endless stream of guns that flows from the United States into Mexico and that results in Mexican violence.

Interestingly, the part of this argument pertaining to guns has been adopted by many politicians and government officials in the United States in recent years. It has now become quite common to hear U.S. officials confidently assert that 90 percent of the weapons used by the Mexican drug cartels come from the United States. However, a close examination of the dynamics of the cartel wars in Mexico — and of how the oft-echoed 90 percent number was reached — clearly demonstrates that the number is more political rhetoric than empirical fact.

By the Numbers

As we discussed in a previous analysis, the 90 percent number was derived from a June 2009 U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) report to Congress on U.S. efforts to combat arms trafficking to Mexico (see external link).

According to the GAO report, some 30,000 firearms were seized from criminals by Mexican authorities in 2008. Of these 30,000 firearms, information pertaining to 7,200 of them (24 percent) was submitted to the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) for tracing. Of these 7,200 guns, only about 4,000 could be traced by the ATF, and of these 4,000, some 3,480 (87 percent) were shown to have come from the United States.

Right-click here tpictures. To helpprivacy, Outlookauto matic downlopicture from the Mexico's Gun Su90 Percent Myth

This means that the 87 percent figure relates to the number of weapons submitted by the Mexican government to the ATF that could be successfully traced and not from the total number of weapons seized by Mexican authorities or even from the total number of weapons submitted to the ATF for tracing. In fact, the 3,480 guns positively traced to the United States equals less than 12 percent of the total arms seized in Mexico in 2008 and less than 48 percent of all those submitted by the Mexican government to the ATF for tracing. This means that almost 90 percent of the guns seized in Mexico in 2008 were not traced back to the United States.

The remaining 22,800 firearms seized by Mexican authorities in 2008 were not traced for a variety of reasons. In addition to factors such as bureaucratic barriers and negligence, many of the weapons seized by Mexican authorities either do not bear serial numbers or have had their serial numbers altered or obliterated. It is also important to understand that the Mexican authorities simply don’t bother to submit some classes of weapons to

1257

the ATF for tracing. Such weapons include firearms they identify as coming from their own military or police forces, or guns that they can trace back themselves as being sold through the Mexican Defense Department’s Arms and Ammunition Marketing Division (UCAM). Likewise, they do not ask ATF to trace military ordnance from third countries like the South Korean fragmentation grenades commonly used in cartel attacks.

Of course, some or even many of the 22,800 firearms the Mexicans did not submit to ATF for tracing may have originated in the United States. But according to the figures presented by the GAO, there is no evidence to support the assertion that 90 percent of the guns used by the Mexican cartels come from the United States — especially when not even 50 percent of those that were submitted for tracing were ultimately found to be of U.S. origin.

This point leads us to consider the types of weapons being used by the Mexican cartels and where they come from.

Types and Sources of Guns

To gain an understanding of the dynamics of the gun flow inside Mexico, it helps if one divides the guns seized by Mexican authorities from criminals into three broad categories — which, incidentally, just happen to represent three different sources.

Type 1: Guns Legally Available in Mexico

The first category of weapons encountered in Mexico is weapons available legally for sale in Mexico through UCAM. These include handguns smaller than a .357 magnum such as .380 and .38 Special.

A large portion of this first type of guns used by criminals is purchased in Mexico, or stolen from their legitimate owners. While UCAM does have very strict regulations for civilians to purchase guns, criminals will use straw purchasers to obtain firearms from UCAM or obtain them from corrupt officials. Cartel hit men in Mexico commonly use .380 pistols equipped with sound suppressors in their assassinations. In many cases, these pistols are purchased in Mexico, the suppressors are locally manufactured and the guns are adapted to receive the suppressors by Mexican gunsmiths.

It must be noted, though, that because of the cost and hassle of purchasing guns in Mexico, many of the guns in this category are purchased in the United States and smuggled into the country. There are a lot of cheap guns available on the U.S. market, and they can be sold at a premium in Mexico. Indeed, guns in this category, such as .380 pistols and .22-caliber rifles and pistols, are among the guns most commonly traced back to the United States. Still, the numbers do not indicate that 90 percent of guns in this category come from the United States.

Additionally, most of the explosives the cartels have been using in improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in Mexico over the past year have used commercially available Tovex, so we consider these explosives to fall in this first category. Mexican IEDs are another area where the rhetoric has been interesting to analyze, but we will explore this topic another time.

Type 2: Guns Legally Available in the U.S. but Not in Mexico

Many popular handgun calibers, such as 9 mm, .45 and .40, are reserved for the military and police and are not available for sale to civilians in Mexico. These guns, which are legally sold and very popular in the United States, comprise our second category, which also includes .50-caliber rifles, semiautomatic versions of assault rifles like the AK-47 and M16 and the FN Five-Seven pistol.

When we consider this second type of guns, a large number of them encountered in Mexico are likely purchased

1258

in the United States. Indeed, the GAO report notes that many of the guns most commonly traced back to the United States fall into this category. There are also many .45-caliber and 9 mm semiautomatic pistols and .357 revolvers obtained from deserters from the Mexican military and police, purchased from corrupt Mexican authorities or even brought in from South America (guns made by manufacturers such as Taurus and Bersa). This category also includes semiautomatic variants of assault rifles and main battle rifles, which are often converted by Mexican gunsmiths to be capable of fully automatic fire.

One can buy these types of weapons on the international arms market, but one pays a premium for such guns and it is cheaper and easier to simply buy them in the United States or South America and smuggle them into Mexico. In fact, there is an entire cottage industry that has developed to smuggle such weapons, and not all the customers are cartel hit men. There are many Mexican citizens who own guns in calibers such as .45, 9 mm, .40 and .44 magnum for self-defense — even though such guns are illegal in Mexico.

Type 3: Guns Not Available for Civilian Purchase in Mexico or the U.S.

The third category of weapons encountered in Mexico is military grade ordnance not generally available for sale in the United States or Mexico. This category includes hand grenades, 40 mm grenades, rocket-propelled grenades, automatic assault rifles and main battle rifles and light machine guns.

This third type of weapon is fairly difficult and very expensive to obtain in the United States (especially in the large numbers in which the cartels are employing them). They are also dangerous to obtain in the United States due to heavy law-enforcement scrutiny. Therefore, most of the military ordnance used by the Mexican cartels comes from other sources, such as the international arms market (increasingly from China via the same networks that furnish precursor chemicals for narcotics manufacturing), or from corrupt elements in the Mexican military or even deserters who take their weapons with them. Besides, items such as South Korean fragmentation grenades and RPG-7s, often used by the cartels, simply are not in the U.S. arsenal. This means that very few of the weapons in this category come from the United States.

In recent years the cartels (especially their enforcer groups such as Los Zetas, Gente Nueva and La Linea) have been increasingly using military weaponry instead of sporting arms. A close examination of the arms seized from the enforcer groups and their training camps clearly demonstrates this trend toward military ordnance, including many weapons not readily available in the United States. Some of these seizures have included M60 machine guns and hundreds of 40 mm grenades obtained from the military arsenals of countries like Guatemala.

But Guatemala is not the only source of such weapons. Latin America is awash in weapons that were shipped there over the past several decades to supply the various insurgencies and counterinsurgencies in the region. When these military-grade weapons are combined with the rampant corruption in the region, they quickly find their way into the black arms market. The Mexican cartels have supply-chain contacts that help move narcotics to Mexico from South America and they are able to use this same network to obtain guns from the black market in South and Central America and then smuggle them into Mexico. While there are many weapons in this category that were manufactured in the United States, the overwhelming majority of the U.S.-manufactured weapons of this third type encountered in Mexico — like LAW rockets and M60 machine guns — come into Mexico from third countries and not directly from the United States.

There are also some cases of overlap between classes of weapons. For example, the FN Five-Seven pistol is available for commercial purchase in the United States, but the 5.7x28 armor-piercing ammunition for the pistol favored by the cartels is not — it is a restricted item. However, some of the special operations forces units in the Mexican military are issued the Five-Seven as well as the FN P90 personal defense weapon, which also shoots the 5.7x28 round, and the cartels are obtaining some of these weapons and the armor-piercing ammunition from them and not from the United States. Conversely, we see bulk 5.56 mm and 7.62 mm ammunition bought in the United States and smuggled into Mexico, where it is used in fully-automatic AK-47s and M16s purchased

1259

elsewhere. As noted above, China has become an increasingly common source for military weapons like grenades and fully automatic assault rifles in recent years.

To really understand Mexico’s gun problem, however, it is necessary to recognize that the same economic law of supply and demand that fuels drug smuggling into the United States also fuels gun smuggling into Mexico. Black-market guns in Mexico can fetch up to 300 percent of their normal purchase price — a profit margin rivaling the narcotics the cartels sell. Even if it were somehow possible to hermetically seal the U.S.-Mexico border and shut off all the guns coming from the United States, the cartels would still be able to obtain weapons elsewhere — just as narcotics would continue to flow into the United States from other places. The United States does provide cheap and easy access to certain types of weapons and ammunition, but as demonstrated by groups such as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, weapons can be easily obtained from other sources via the black arms market — albeit at a higher price.

There has clearly been a long and well-documented history of arms smuggling across the U.S.-Mexico border, but it is important to recognize that, while the United States is a significant source of certain classes of weapons and ammunition, it is by no means the source of 90 percent of the weapons used by the Mexican cartels, as is commonly asserted.

First, handguns, rifles, "assault" rifles, shotguns,bows, knives, hatchets, axes, screw drivers, ice picks, electric drills, rope, metal cable, chains baseball bats, ice climbing axes, automobiles, pillows, bleach, phone books etc. are all tools, hardware items, sporting goods, and household items which have been used to assault, torture, maim and kill human beings. Are we going to regulate all of these items. Guns are made for hunting, self defense, target practice and sporting competition. In fact, Olympic sports involve the use of firearms. Second, "the right to bear arms shall not be infringed" is the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution. The Founders must have thought it was important to make it the 2nd Amendment. The Founders said the 1st Amendment is useless without the 2nd Amendment. It is people who kill people, not the tools or instruments. Also, many people are assaulted and murdered with someones bare hands. In closing, after perusing the internet, I found that as many or more people are killed by automobilesthan firearms. Are you planning on regulating the sale or ownership of automobiles. I have not even addressed the lives that are saved or the crime that is reduced because of gun ownership.(see More Guns, Less Crime by John Lott). Stop Demonizing Guns.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is demanding the authority to require all of the 8,500 firearm dealers in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas to report all sales of two or more semiautomatic rifles within five consecutive business days, if the rifles are larger than .22 caliber and use detachable magazines. For example, a dealer would have to tell the government every time a deer hunter in Sacramento or Amarillo finds a good deal on a pair of semi-auto .30-06s like the popular Remington 7400. The ATF has no legal authority to demand these reports, and the flood of new paperwork will waste scarce law enforcement resources that should be spent on legitimate investigations.

By not keeping track of the sales thousands of arms are being shipped South contributing to the drug Wars,and border conflicts. Sincerely, John J. Murray

I strongly support the ATF's proposal to require dealers along the border to report bulk sales of assault rifles, just like they already do with handgun sales. The ATF must use its authority to collect this information and better enforce the laws already on the books.

From: John P [[email protected]]Sent: Sunday, February 13, 2011 6:59 PMTo: Terrell, Barbara A.Subject: I vehemently oppose the ATF multi-rifle sale reporting requirements:

Ms. Terrell, I am writing to register and sound my strong opposition to the so called emergency information collection request to register multiple sales of certain rifles with BATFE as described in FR Doc. 2010–31761 from the 12/17/2010 Federal Register. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010‐31761.pdf This information collection is both illegal and unnecessary. Furthermore, there is no justification for any “emergency” implementation as reported by the Washington Post: 'White House delayed rule meant to stop gun flow to Mexico', Washington Post, Dec. 17, 2010, On‐line edition: ( http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp‐dyn/content/article/2010/12/17/AR2010121706598.html ). * The regulation proposed is outside the statutory grant of authority to record information about multiple sales of firearms. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) specifically grants the authority to collect multiple sale information on handguns and revolvers. Other firearms are excluded and there is no implied authority to extend this reporting requirement to rifles or any other type of firearm. * This attempt by ATF is universally and overwhelmingly opposed by citizens and their congressional delegations. See the following: http://rehberg.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=26&parentid=5&sectiontree=5,26&itemid=1584 http://www.gunleaders.com/Baucus_TesterltrtoBATFE122310.pdf http://www.gunleaders.com/blog/wp‐content/uploads/2011/02/senateatfletter020111.pdf * ”FFL” holders are already required by law to respond to BATFE requests for information on firearms distribution pursuant to criminal investigations: Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(7). * The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of information collected, which establishes a nationwide registry of “certain types of firearms” as proposed. Because of this the regulation as proposed is illegal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). ”No such rule or regulation … may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established.” There is a grave potential for this information collection to unduly burden citizens who are collectors or must obtain purchase permits at the local or state level to possess firearms. The proposed regulation does not say what the agency intends to do with the information but ostensibly it would be for criminal investigations. Subjecting law abiding gun owners to this type of investigation under the guise of “information collection” is an overt attempt to prevent them from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights to purchase and own firearms.

In reference to the December 17, 2010 "Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles." The Second Amendment is there for some very good reasons. I am very opposed to any of these registration, control schemes. Back door registrations especially ones such as this that go against the standard procedures of over two hundred years of our country s history can only lead to bad things. A bureau of our government should not have any right to make up their own laws, only to enforce laws enacted by congress, signed by the president and approved by the supreme court.

Date: 12 Feb. 2011 Subject: ATF Long Gun Sales Reporting. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is demanding the authority to require all of the 8,500 firearm dealers in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas to report all sales of two or more semiautomatic rifles within five consecutive business days. The ATF has no legal authority to demand these reports, and the flood of new paperwork will waste scarce law enforcement resources that should be spent on legitimate investigations. I request that you consider the act to BLOCK BATF Long Gun Sales Reporting. Since Senator Grassley Presses BATF on Project Gunrunner: Pointing to documentation that guns used by Mexican nationals in a shootout with Border Patrol agents were allowed to be sold under suspicious circumstances with the knowledge of the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, U.S. Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) is calling on the agency to fully respond to his inquiries into the case.

Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) specifically grants the authority to collect multiple sale information on handguns and revolvers. Other firearms are excluded and there is no implied authority to extend this reporting requirement to rifles or any other type of firearm.

* "FFL" holders are already required by law to respond to BATFE requests for information on firearms distribution pursuant to criminal

investigations: Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(7).

* The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of information collected, which establishes a nationwide registry of "certain types of firearms" as proposed. Because of this the regulation as proposed is illegal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). "No such rule or regulation . may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established."

There is a grave potential for this regulation to unduly burden citizens who are collectors or must obtain purchase permits at the local or state level to possess firearms. The proposed regulation does not say what the agency intends to do with the information but ostensibly it would be for criminal investigations. Subjecting law abiding gun owners to this type of investigation under the guise of "information collection" is an overt attempt to prevent them from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights to purchase and own firearms.

* This regulatory action has not allowed the public sufficient time to comment.

Maybe the US government should figure out how to stop illegals crossing the borders and drugs crossing the borders instead of illegally trying to track legal guns. Anytime a government agency tries to track guns it appears that the fear of an illegal government taking over the country buy either force or other illegal means. Why is it so important to track legal citizens and why is it so unimportant to track illegal or criminal weapons? Everybody except our government people understands that no matter what gun laws are passed and enforced it will only effect people who follow the law and will have no effect on criminals who are by definition law breakers. Gun laws only create a black market for guns.

Office of Management & Budget Office of Information and Regulation Affairs Attention: Department of Justice Desk Officer Washington, DC 20503 Re: Federal Register Notice of December 17, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 242, Page 79021), 60‐Day Emergency Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles To Whom It May Concern: This is a paste of the letter from and in agreement with the National Rifle Association of America, Inc. (NRA), to offer our comments on this Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The notice proposed an "emergency" requirement that certain federal firearms licensees report multiple sales or other dispositions whenever the licensee sells or otherwise disposes of two or more rifles within any five consecutive business days with the following characteristics: (a) Semi automatic; (b) a caliber greater than .22; and (c) the ability to accept a detachable magazine. Now, the OMB has denied the "emergency" request. But regardless of the timeframe in which approval is sought, ATF does not have the statutory authority to impose this requirement on licensees. The reasons for that lack of authority are fully explained in the attached legal memorandum; but in short, the Congress has comprehensively defined what ATF may and may not require with respect to licensees' records. By specifically requiring reports only of multiple handgun sales, Congress implicitly rejected the idea of requiring reports on multiple sales of other firearms. ATF seemed to understand that point when it responded in October to a recommendation for multiple long gun sales reporting by the Department of Justice Inspector General. ATF's comment on that recommendation was that it would "explore the full range of options" but that such a requirement "may require a change to the Gun Control Act."1 These reports will be requested through "demand letters"—a mechanism that for many years had been used only to conduct firearm traces, to obtain aggregate manufacturing statistics, or to obtain contact information for buyers of certain firearms later declared to be subject to the National Firearms Act. Even when ATF began to use demand letters to seek a broader range of firearm transaction records, one court upholding that program cautioned that the demand letter statute "is not a limitless delegation of authority" and "cannot be construed in an open‐ended fashion."2 The scope of the proposed collection suggests in itself that the proposal exceeds ATF's statutory authority. The Fourth Circuit stressed that the letter at issue in the RSM

1358

case was sent to only 41 licensees out of the 80,000 licensees in the United States.3 A second type of demand letter was sent to only 450 dealers nationwide.4 Now, ATF proposes to issue demand letters to approximately 8,500 licensees. That estimate appears to be based on the total number of licensed dealers and pawnbrokers in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. If so, nearly one out of seven firearm retailers in the United States would receive demand letters for multiple rifle sales. The burden estimate in the proposal appears to assume that each licensee subject to a demand letter will respond once during the proposed duration of the program. Given the great variety in size and sales volume among the thousands of licensees in the border states, this seems unlikely. Even i f the burden estimate in the proposal is correct, it is unclear how ATF could make effective use of the large number of reports that would be generated. Recent media reports suggest that ATF is already unable to handle dealers' voluntary, real‐time reports of possible "straw purchases."5 If processing thousands of additional mandatory reports takes even more resources away from investigating these suspicious transactions, the proposed information collection may be more harmful than helpful. The NRA is well aware that ATF would, understandably, like to take strong steps to address drug‐related violence in Mexico. But lawlessness in Mexico—driven by multi‐billion dollar drug cartels with access to any and all types of arms on the 1 See U.S. Dept. of Justice, Office of the Inspector General, Review of ATF's Project Gunrunner, Evaluation and Inspections Report 1‐2011‐001 (Nov. 2010). 2 See RSM, Inc. v.

Buckles, 365 F.3d 281, 283 (4th Cir. 2004). 5 See Kim Murphy, Guns tracked by firearms bureau found at firefight scene, Los Angeles Times Feb. 2,2011. 2 international black markets—is no excuse for U.S. law enforcement agencies to spend scarce resources on programs that exceed their legal powers. Therefore, OMB should deny ATF's request to approve its proposed collection of information. Sincerely, John Van Dee

Proposed Collection of Information Unnecessary The proposed collection of information is unnecessary, because it will have no practical utility. Illicit drugs, undocumented aliens and unlawful assault weapons flood into Mexico daily by way of Mexico’s southern border with Guatemala. Collecting information on American gun purchasers will have no effect on the introduction of assault weapons to Mexico.

BATF Estimate of Burden of Collection Burdens FFL Dealers We citizens fill out a lengthy form for every single firearm purchase, even small‐caliber weapons like .22 rifles and pistols. Firearms dealers meticulously scrutinize our responses and personal identification to assure truthfulness of our information. Persons whose intent is to deliver weapons illegally to Mexican criminals will naturally falsify information. As it is said, “When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.”

Data Collection Will Not Enhance Quality, Utility or Clarity of Information As recently as February 3, 2011, as reported by Fox News Latino, Sen. Charles Grassley (R‐Iowa) wrote a letter to your agency, saying his office has received “numerous allegations that the ATF sanctioned the sale of hundreds of assault weapons to suspected straw purchasers, who then allegedly transported these weapons throughout the Southwest border area and into Mexico.” Link to article: http://www.foxnews.mobi/quickPage.html?page=22995&content=47843975&pageNum=‐1 Obviously, if the BATF will promote the sale of assault weapons to known felons, why should the American people trust the BATF with more of our personal information?

Data Collection Adds Burden To Dealers and Purchasers Speaking on behalf of fellow gun owners, I see that the proposed reporting will further burden dealers and owners. Moreover, we see this as a step toward gun confiscation. Why do I say this? Look at your own records. Your record is rife with reports of raids on private homes based on mistaken information, attacks on paint‐ball players, coercion and costly property damage. At this point, I do not hesitate to say it is your duty to protect, preserve and respect our Constitutionally‐guaranteed individual rights. Your own records show you quite capable of brutal assaults on innocent citizens. No, additional information, as proposed by your agency, will in no wise improve your performance.

I strongly support the ATF's proposal to require dealers along the border to report bulk sales of assault rifles, just like they already do with handgun sales. The ATF must use its authority to collect this information and better enforce the laws already on the books.

Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles.”

I am not alone in this thought process that I am about to lay out. It is flat out crazy to think that allowing the ATF to get reports on the guns sold in the southwest states will stop any drug cartel gun running. First off to think that the cartels are going to pay retail prices for guns is the most ridiculous thing stated. There are plenty of weapons on the black market for them to buy; many sold to third world countries by "responsible governments". Second, the tracking of weapons sales has already been deemed illegal and that is why the ATF can't track sales now. Third, the amount of money it will take to have someone paid to review the applications twenty four hours a day is a wasteful spending of taxpayer money. For an administration trying to cut budgets and cost, this seems counter-productive. Fourth, the money can be better spent actually enforcing the border and immigration laws. If the ATF wants to track weapons sales they can go to Congress and ask for a change to current laws and not single out a few states.

Dear Barbara, I am a law abiding citizen of California. I protest the idea of having to report buying 2 long guns at a time to batf. This will do nothing at all to reduce crime.However it is an infrigement on law abiding citizens rights garranteed by the 2nd amendment. All this proposal would do is create more paperwork and hassle to gun dealers and the public as well. In other words, This amounts to gun control against the decent people of our 4 states!

Hello Barbara, I'm a concerned citizen & own long guns, the ATFs' proposal for registration of any new long-gun purchase is infringing upon law abiding citizen's 2nd amendment rights. I urge you and your colleagues to seriously think about what you are asking upon our nations citizens & legitimate FFL holders in the border states. This puts an undue burden upon the FFL holders & should not be tolerated. The illegal gun sales that are heading to Mexico are just that, Illegal which means the seller knows it's illegal & is not likely to be a legitimate FFL holder or law abiding citizen. Even if this ludicrous proposal gets implemented do you really think that criminal sellers are going to report their sales to the Federal government.

Ms. Terrell, I have read the subject "Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles" and would like to comment. 1) This emergency request unfairly targets licensees in the border states and saddles them with an unfair administrative burden. 2) The are already many laws on the books governing the firearms. Although this is not a new law ‐ it seems that this will create more paperwork to those in charge of enforcing the law. Which begs the question ‐ can this information even be assimilated in time to be prevent the export of weapons to Mexico. 3) Mexico already has strict gun control laws. No amount of paperwork by American Gun Dealer will counter the corruption of Mexican Officials that "look the other way" for money or out of fear for their lives. 4) The estimated burden of public hours appears very simplistic on its face and lacks credibility. With all the instant backround checks conducted for legal gun sales. ‐ Could not the information sought be extracted or mined from the data that is called in daily?

This will accomplish nothing to stem the flow of arms to Mexico as this flow of arms is certainly not coming from FFL sales at two or three at a time!!! The minute amount of arms that could be acquired in this fashion would certainly be insufficient in quantity and of a non-military type that could not explain the actual arms that are there!!!

The ATF has no legal authority to demand these reports, and the flood of new paperwork will waste scarce law enforcement resources that should be spent on legitimate investigations. The ATF's time and money should be spent in finding the legitimate areas that these arms could be be entering Mexico.

(NRA), to offer our comments on this Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The notice proposed an "emergency" requirement that certain federal firearms licensees report multiple sales or other dispositions whenever the licensee sells or otherwise disposes of two or more rifles within any five consecutive business days with the following characteristics: (a) Semi automatic; (b) a caliber greater than .22; and (c) the ability to accept a detachable magazine. Now, the OMB has denied the "emergency" request. But regardless of the timeframe in which approval is sought, ATF does not have the statutory authority to impose this requirement on licensees. The reasons for that lack of authority are fully explained in the attached legal memorandum; but in short, the Congress has comprehensively defined what ATF may and may not require with respect to licensees' records. By specifically requiring reports only of multiple handgun sales, Congress implicitly rejected the idea of requiring reports on multiple sales of other firearms. ATF seemed to understand that point when it responded in October to a recommendation for multiple long gun sales reporting by the Department of Justice Inspector General. ATF's comment on that recommendation was 1 Tel: (703) 267-1140 • www.nraila.org <• Fax: (703) 267-3973

that it would "explore the full range of options" but that such a requirement "may require a change to the Gun Control Act."1

1405

These reports will be requested through "demand letters"—a mechanism that for many years had been used only to conduct firearm traces, to obtain aggregate manufacturing statistics, or to obtain contact information for buyers of certain firearms later declared to be subject to the National Firearms Act. Even when ATF began to use demand letters to seek a broader range of firearm transaction records, one court upholding that program cautioned that the demand letter statute "is not a limitless delegation of authority" and "cannot be construed in an open-ended fashion."2

The scope of the proposed collection suggests in itself that the proposal exceeds ATF's statutory authority. The Fourth Circuit stressed that the letter at issue in the RSM case was sent to only 41 licensees out of the 80,000 licensees in the United States.3 A second type of demand letter was sent to only 450 dealers nationwide.4

Now, ATF proposes to issue demand letters to approximately 8,500 licensees. That estimate appears to be based on the total number of licensed dealers and pawnbrokers in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. If so, nearly one out of seven firearm retailers in the United States would receive demand letters for multiple rifle sales. The burden estimate in the proposal appears to assume that each licensee subject to a demand letter will respond once during the proposed duration of the program. Given the great variety in size and sales volume among the thousands of licensees in the border states, this seems unlikely. Even i f the burden estimate in the proposal is correct, it is unclear how ATF could make effective use of the large number of reports that would be generated. Recent media reports suggest that ATF is already unable to handle dealers' voluntary, real-time reports of possible "straw purchases."5 If processing thousands of additional mandatory reports takes even more resources away from investigating these suspicious transactions, the proposed information collection may be more harmful than helpful. The NRA is well aware that ATF would, understandably, like to take strong steps to address drug-related violence in Mexico. But lawlessness in Mexico—driven by multi-billion dollar drug cartels with access to any and all types of arms on the 1 See U.S. Dept. of Justice, Office of the Inspector General, Review of ATF's Project Gunrunner, Evaluation and Inspections Report 1-2011-001 (Nov. 2010). 2 See RSM, Inc. v.

international black markets—is no excuse for U.S. law enforcement agencies to spend scarce resources on programs that exceed their legal powers.

To whom it may concern, Please stop action on Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles. This is a discriminatory policy aimed at myself as well as other Americans that happen to reside in southern border states. The basis of this policy is unfounded and only adds a layer of unnecessary bureaucracy to firearm purchases. And as a taxpayer, I rather see my money go towards something useful. And some food for thought; if guns from border states are arriving in Mexico, where is all the ammunition coming from? Drug dealers don't use unloaded firearms to shoot each other. If the DEA can catch an international arms dealer on the other side of the world, then maybe You can find out where all the illegal firearms in Mexico are coming from before resorting to shot-in-the-dark(no pun intended) policymaking.

I am writing to oppose the so called emergency regulation to register multiple sales of certain rifles with BATFE as described in FR Doc. 2010‐31761 from the 12/17/2010 Federal Register. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010‐31761.pdf This regulation is both illegal and unnecessary. Further there is no justification for any "emergency" implementation as explained here: "White House delayed rule meant to stop gun flow to Mexico", Washington Post, Dec. 17, 2010. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp‐dyn/content/article/2010/12/17/AR2010121706598.html 1. The regulation proposed is outside the statutory grant of authority to record information about multiple sales of firearms. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) specifically grants the authority to collect multiple sale information on handguns and revolvers. Other firearms are excluded and there is no implied authority to extend this reporting requirement to rifles or any other type of firearm. 2. "FFL" holders are already required by law to respond to BATFE requests for information on firearms distribution pursuant to criminal investigations: Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(7). 3. The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of information collected, which establishes a nationwide registry of "certain types of firearms" as proposed. Because of this, the regulation as proposed is illegal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). "No such rule or regulation may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established." There is a grave potential for this regulation to unduly burden citizens who are collectors or must obtain purchase permits at the local or state level to possess firearms. The proposed regulation does not say what the agency intends to do with the information but ostensibly it would be for criminal investigations. Subjecting law abiding gun owners to this type of investigation under the guise of "information collection" is an overt attempt to prevent them from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights to purchase and own firearms. This regulatory action should not be approved.

It’s time that Obama administration does more to crack down on the gun smuggling carried out by the Mexican drug cartels. I strongly support the ATF's proposal to require dealers along the border to report bulk sales of assault rifles, just like they already do with handgun sales. The ATF must use its authority to collect this information and better enforce the laws already on the books.

Mrs. Barbara A. Terrell, I would like to give my opposition comments about the BATFE requiring Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California firearm dealers to report all sales of two or more semiautomatic rifles within five consecutive days. I belive this is an absurd attempt for more government control over the citizens. I thought this was supposed to be a FREE country!! We have constitutional rights that guarantee our ability to own firearms to defend ourselves and this great country. This policy infringes on our rights as Law-abiding Citizens to purchase these firearms for use in recreational sproting events, hunting, target and competition shooting events. I strongly oppose this and urge you to do the same. I greatly appreciate your time and understanding regarding this sensitive issue. Very respectfully, Jonathan K. Jordan

This is a waste of government and private firearms dealer resources. While government workers and firearm dealers employees are completing paperwork, criminals will very possibly have determined how to outwit the proposed rules. I suggest that all government efforts be directed to completing the border fence between the U.S.and Mexico. While this will not solve 100% of the illegal immigration problem, it will save billions of dollars if it cuts the immigrant flow 50%. After this is done Improved strict enforcement of the E‐Verify program will offer further savings of tax dollars. Very truly yours, Joe Splavec Downers Grove, IL

I am writing to oppose the so called emergency regulation to register multiple sales of certain rifles with BATFE as described in FR Doc. 2010‐31761 from the 12/17/2010 Federal Register. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010‐31761.pdf This regulation is both illegal and unnecessary. Further there is no justification for any "emergency" implementation as reported by the Washington Post: White House delayed rule meant to stop gun flow to Mexico, Washington Post, Dec. 17, 2010, On‐line edition:(http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp‐dyn/content/article/2010/12/17/AR2010121706598.html). * The regulation proposed is outside the statutory grant of authority to record information about multiple sales of firearms. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) specifically grants the authority to collect multiple sale information on handguns and revolvers. Other firearms are excluded and there is no implied authority to extend this reporting requirement to rifles or any other type of firearm. * "FFL" holders are already required by law to respond to BATFE requests for information on firearms distribution pursuant to criminal investigations: Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g) (7). * The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of information collected, which establishes a nationwide registry of "certain types of firearms" as proposed. Because of this the regulation as proposed is illegal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). "No such rule or regulation may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established." There is a grave potential for this regulation to unduly burden citizens who are collectors or must obtain purchase permits at the local or state level to possess firearms. The proposed regulation does not say what the agency intends to do with the information but ostensibly it would be for criminal investigations. Subjecting law abiding gun owners to this type of investigation under the guise of "information collection" is an overt attempt to prevent them from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights to purchase and own firearms. * This regulatory action has not allowed the public sufficient time to comment. This regulatory action should not be approved. Joseph Cervini 570-689-3230 117 Ridge Circle Greentown, PA 18426

Dear Ms. Terrell: I am writing to oppose the so called emergency regulation to register multiple sales of certain rifles with BATFE as described in FR Doc. 2010-31761 from the 12/17/2010 Federal Register. This regulation is both unnecessary and illegal. Further there is no justification for any "emergency" implementation as reported by the Washington Post: White House delayed rule meant to stop gun flow to Mexico, Washington Post, Dec. 17, 2010, On-line edition: ( http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/17/AR2010121706598.html ). * The regulation proposed is outside the statutory grant of authority to record information about multiple sales of firearms. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) specifically grants the authority to collect multiple sale information on handguns and revolvers. Other firearms are excluded and there is no implied authority to extend this reporting requirement to rifles or any other type of firearm. * "FFL" holders are already required by law to respond to BATFE requests for information on firearms distribution pursuant to criminal investigations: Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(7). * The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of information collected, which establishes a nationwide registry of "certain types of firearms" as proposed. Because of this the regulation as proposed is illegal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). "No such rule or regulation may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established." There is a grave potential for this regulation to unduly burden citizens who are collectors or must obtain purchase permits at the local or state level to possess firearms. The proposed regulation does not say what the agency intends to do with the information but ostensibly it would be for criminal investigations. Subjecting law abiding gun owners to this type of investigation under the guise of "information collection" is an overt attempt to prevent them from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights to purchase and own firearms. * This regulatory action has not allowed the public sufficient time to comment. This regulatory action should not be approved.

This proposed action by BATFE is just another waste of the American citizens money. The majority of the weapons bring used by the drug cartels in Mexico were sold to the Mexican gov. during the Clinton admin. for their military and have filtered from there own gov. to the streets. The Mex. government is happy to let us spend our money to protect our borders from the constant flow of their people, drugs, and guns coming into our country at tremendous expense to the American taxpayer. Now you want to spend our money and manpower for another useless gun regulation and create an even larger expenditure for the American taxpayer to protect their border? I can assure you the American taxpayer is willling to spend money for a through and honest investigation of BATFE, particularly the heads of the departments.

Dear Ms. Terrel, Reference: December 17, 2010 “Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles.” The nation already has substantial and demonstrably adequate means for backtracking the history of a firearm. The additional reporting under review appears to be an unnecessary and expensive breach of privacy for the law-abiding citizen and one that will add nothing to the efficacy of law-enforcement activities.

I strongly support the ATF's proposal to require dealers along the border to report bulk sales of assault rifles, just like they already do with handgun sales. The ATF must use its authority to collect this information and better enforce the laws already on the books. With more than 30,000 people already murdered in cartel wars, this is an emergency that demands our government’s immediate attention. Joseph Whiteman 2008 Longview Dr. Las Vegas, NM 87701

Hi Barbra- I have been notified via the NRA that gun owners in the states on the southwest border are going to be required to report sales of long guns by the Bureau Of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms. This plan in my estimation is a clear violation of Americans second amendment rights and is nothing less than a gateway by folks in opposition to the second amendment to make it more difficult for gun owners in the US to survive. I say "NO" to this sort of rhetoric for these states and for all other states in the union!! Josh McCabe

Please OPPOSE the “Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles.” This is an unnecessary regulation and is not allowed under Federal law. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) does not grant any such registration of multiple purchases of firearms, except for handguns.

Ms. Terrell: Re: “Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles.” Please do not do this. It is wrong to punish and restrict and deprive the innocent of their rights. The American people should not loose their freedoms, rights and liberties because Mexico, a foreign country is corrupt and needs to clean up it's act! The Mexican criminals are breaking Mexican laws that are already on their books. The solution is for them to "enforce their existing laws" on drugs and violence and punish their lawbreakers; not to restrict and punish law-abiding American citizens depriving them of their rights.

Please OPPOSE the “Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles.” This is an unnecessary regulation and is not allowed under Federal law. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) does not grant any such registration of multiple purchases of firearms, except for handguns. The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of the collected information, and therefore is not legal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). Laws do matter and this unnecessary and extra-legal proposal must NOT be approved. Sincerely, Jason Rinne 12912 Grenade Ln Spotsylvania, VA 22551

December 17, 2010 “Notice of Information Collection Under Review: Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles.” Will this level and quantity of information be worth evaluating? If this is to try to track guns for the Mexican drug cartels, maybe you should talk to the Mexican army where reportedly 75% of the guns come from that are used by the cartels. Unlike the 90% that Obama and Clinton are citing. The citizens of this country have little enough trust in the leadership of this country that we do not need further invasion of our rights to prove the Constitution is meaningless to the leadership. In addition, this appears to exceed ATF's authority (letter from NRA), thus violating the rights of sellers and gun owners. We are still, after all, a people with rights and a nation of laws. And just because the ATF is a federal agency, does not give it unlimited authority. This will just mean a larger bureaucratic agency to use more tax money. Perhaps you should spend more time catching the real criminals rather than trying to register the long-gun sales of honest people, because this step will not be enough for this administration.

From: [email protected]: Tuesday, February 15, 2011 7:45 PMTo: Terrell, Barbara A.Subject: Oppose Regulation Expanding Multiple Sale Reporting

Dear Mrs Terrell I am writing to oppose the so called emergency regulation to register multiple sales of certain rifles with BATFE as described in FR Doc. 2010‐31761 from the 12/17/2010 Federal Register. This regulation is both illegal and unnecessary. Further there is no justification for any "emergency" implementation as reported by the Washington Post. * The regulation proposed is outside the statutory grant of authority to record information about multiple sales of firearms. Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) specifically grants the authority to collect multiple sale information on handguns and revolvers. Other firearms are excluded and there is no implied authority to extend this reporting requirement to rifles or any other type of firearm. * "FFL" holders are already required by law to respond to BATFE requests for information on firearms distribution pursuant to criminal investigations: Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(7). * The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of information collected, which establishes a nationwide registry of "certain types of firearms" as proposed. Because of this the regulation as proposed is illegal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). "No such rule or regulation . may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established." There is a grave potential for this regulation to unduly burden citizens who are collectors or must obtain purchase permits at the local or state level to possess firearms. The proposed regulation does not say what the agency intends to do with the information but ostensibly it would be for criminal investigations. Subjecting law abiding gun owners to this type of investigation under the guise of "information collection" is an overt attempt to prevent them from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights to purchase and own firearms. * This regulatory action has not allowed the public sufficient time to comment. This regulatory action should not be approved. Sincerely Roger O.Parker

It’s time that the Obama administration does more to crack down on the gun smuggling carried out by the Mexican drug cartels. I strongly support the ATF's proposal to require dealers along the border to report bulk sales of assault rifles, just like they already do with handgun sales. The ATF must use its authority to collect this information and better enforce the laws already on the books. With more than 30,000 people already murdered in cartel wars, this is an emergency that demands our government’s immediate attention. judith corbeille 700 w. bittersweet CHICAGO, IL 60613

Dear Barbara Terrell, It’s time that the Obama administration does more to crack down on the gun smuggling carried out by the Mexican drug cartels. I strongly support the ATF's proposal to require dealers along the border to report bulk sales of assault rifles, just like they already do with handgun sales. The ATF must use its authority to collect this information and better enforce the laws already on the books. With more than 30,000 people already murdered in cartel wars, this is an emergency that demands our government’s immediate attention. Strong and decisive action is needed now!

It’s time that the Obama administration does more to crack down on the gun smuggling carried out by the Mexican drug cartels. If we want to protect our borders from the "coyotes" who prey on poor and vulnerable Mexicans and from illegal immigration of criminals, we should likewise protect the broader in the other direction from wholesale gun sales. Not only do Mexican and US government officials get killed by these weapons in the hands of Mexican drug gangs, but also innocent Mexican civilians.

Dear Barbara Terrell, It’s time that Obama administration does more to crack down on the gun smuggling carried out by the Mexican drug cartels. I strongly support the ATF's proposal to require dealers along the border to report bulk sales of assault rifles, just like they already do with handgun sales. The ATF must use its authority to collect this information and better enforce the laws already on the books. With more than 30,000 people already murdered in cartel wars, this is an emergency that demands our government’s immediate attention. June Fait 136 Beach 117th St ROCKAWAY PARK, NY 11694

Thank you for your response. It would be nice if my government did its job and secured our borders instead of trying to expand its grip on American liberties. I bet $10 that this program is not only made permanent, but expanded nationwide. Have fun.

From: FIPB Regulatory Email inquiries [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thu 12/30/2010 3:17 AM To: Justin Combs Subject: RE: Comments on emergency regulation to register multiple sales of certain rifles

Thank you for your comment regarding the 60-day emergency notice of information collection relating to ATF Form 3310.12 (Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles), published in the Federal Register on December 17, 2010. The Federal Register and supplement form may be found at: http://www.atf.gov/regulations-rulings/rulemakings/general-notices.html The primary purpose of this program is to improve law enforcement's ability to identify firearms traffickers, to disrupt the criminal activity and to stop deadly violence plaguing the Southwest Border States and Mexico. The multiple sales reports will apply only to rifles that are semi-automatic, greater than .22 caliber, and have the ability to accept a detachable magazine. ATF intends to implement this program to require that Federal firearms licensees in the States of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas complete the form for those transactions in which an individual purchases two or more of these rifles within five business days. We intend to evaluate the results at the end of a 1 year pilot period, at which time ATF may expand, narrow or discontinue the program. As mentioned in the notice, if granted by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the emergency approval of the form is valid for 180 days. All comments received in response to the notice will be carefully considered and, if warranted, revisions to the form will be made. -----Original Message----- From: Justin Combs [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, December 20, 2010 3:14 PM To: Terrell, Barbara A. Subject: Comments on emergency regulation to register multiple sales of certain rifles Importance: High Ms Terrel, The following comments will also be sent to my Senators and Representative. I am writing to oppose the so called emergency regulation to register multiple sales of certain rifles with BATFE as described in FR Doc. 2010-31761 from the 12/17/2010 Federal Register. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010-31761.pdf <http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010-31761.pdf> This regulation is both illegal and unnecessary. Further there is no justification for any "emergency" implementation as reported by the Washington Post: White House delayed rule meant to stop gun flow to Mexico, Washington Post, Dec. 17, 2010, On-line edition: ( http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/17/AR2010121706598.html <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/17/AR2010121706598.html> ). * The regulation proposed is outside the statutory grant of authority to record information about multiple sales of firearms. Title 18

1721

U.S.C. § 923(g)(3)(A) specifically grants the authority to collect multiple sale information on handguns and revolvers. Other firearms are excluded and there is no implied authority to extend this reporting requirement to rifles or any other type of firearm. * "FFL" holders are already required by law to respond to BATFE requests for information on firearms distribution pursuant to criminal investigations: Title 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(7). * The regulation contains no provision for the destruction of information collected, which establishes a nationwide registry of "certain types of firearms" as proposed. Because of this the regulation as proposed is illegal under Title 18 U.S.C. § 926(a). "No such rule or regulation ... may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established." There is a grave potential for this regulation to unduly burden citizens who are collectors or must obtain purchase permits at the local or state level to possess firearms. The proposed regulation does not say what the agency intends to do with the information but ostensibly it would be for criminal investigations. Subjecting law abiding gun owners to this type of investigation under the guise of "information collection" is an overt attempt to prevent them from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights to purchase and own firearms. * This regulatory action has not allowed the public sufficient time to comment. This regulatory action should not be approved. Sincerely, Justin Combs Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. --Theodor Seuss Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss ----------------------------------------- ******* NOTICE: This electronic transmission is confidential and intended only for the person(s) to whom it is addressed.

Please do not pass the bill allowing the ATF to force gun stores to report gun sales to the government! It is going to waste a lot of money and is unnecessary. I think that people should be able to buy more than 2 a week without being put under suspicion from the ATF. Let people buy guns, let people do what they have the right to. Use your resources somewhere else, don't spend more than what you already do. Those are my tax dollars!d

I understand the gun laws need to be in place but we have enough of them now. What we need is for the prosecutors & judges to quit dropping the gun specs. in making a deal with a criminal, if they need to make a deal then drop another charge. gun registration means nothing to the criminal they don't buy guns legally anyway unless it will be their first criminal act & registration wouldn't make any difference there anyway. this new proposal will just put more of a burden on law enforcement that is already overburdened, understaffed & underfunded.
