If you do wish to comment on this rulling, the ATF on page 66 of the document specficially calls out 3 questiosn they want answered in public comments. If you want your comments read and taken seriously, focusing on that (And doing so professionally and dispassionately), will likely be the most effective route.
1) HOw will owners comply? (e.g. remove brace, SBR, etc). Answer: 90%probably won't comply at all. The rest will either remove brace, some will SBR, a few will rebarrel to 16"
2) How will manufactuers comply? Answer: they will stop selling braced firearms that fail whatever the final point-system rulling is.
3) Has ATF Selected the most appropriate critera, and is there additional criteria? Answer:not really, since criteria is inconsistent with ATF enforcement, particularly in light of the HoneyBadger enforceemnt, which implied other systems were compatible with the law per ATF interpretation. And they should at a minimum grandfather pre-existing systems bought in good-faith via ATF regulated suppliers.
Just my own 2 cents.
