So I guess anyone without a computer or phone doesn't get to be heard?

Included in post #200 is a link to ATF instructions for submitting comments. The way I read it as long as written comments are legible and at least 12-point font size (.17 inches) they should be accepted via US Mail. Computer printer, typewriter or pen in hand isn't stipulated, so I would guess the below is good to go regardless if it was computer printed or handwritten.
-----------
Submit a Comment on Proposed Rule 2021R-05
ATF requests comments on the proposed rule, Definition of “Frame or Receiver” and Identification of Firearms, from all interested persons.
ATF specifically requests comments on the feasibility of implementing the new definition of firearm “frame or receiver” in 27 CFR 478.11 and 27 CFR 479.11, and related definitions and amendments that ensure the proper marking, recordkeeping, and traceability of all firearms manufactured, imported, acquired and disposed by federal firearms licensees. ATF also requests comments on the costs or benefits of the proposed rule and on the appropriate methodology and data for calculating those costs and benefits.

103k for the first 14 days which is about on pace with the first five days.
According to the Congressional Research Service.... unofficial estimates suggest that there are between 10 and 40 million stabilizing braces and similar components already in civilian hands, either purchased as accessories or already attached to firearms made at home or at the factory.
It would appear that pistol brace owners haven't been rushing to the Comment button but there's still a lot of time till September.
I continue to contact GOA and NRA in that regard. Just takes a second to pen a quick comment like : Please focus your energies on criminals, their behavior and the crimes they are committing and stop the constant attack on the law-abiding gun owners in this country. Nearly everything the ATF puts out in recent memory is akin to putting muzzles on people before they enter a crowded theater in the event that someone might break the law and yell "fire." And yes it just that bad. The ATF should cease allowing itself to be the militant arm of the leftists in our country and refocus on criminals and criminality instead of working so hard to create felons with ever increasing infringements on the Constitution's second amendment. Pistol braces, like so many other firearm-related items are in common use in this country by millions of law-abiding citizens so please direct your efforts at those that actually break the laws, they're called criminals, in case you've forgotten that important point.
"Why "zombies"? Because calling it 'training to stop a rioting, starving, panicking, desperate mob after a complete governmental financial collapse apocalypse' is just too wordy." or in light of current events: training to stop a rioting, looting, molotov cocktail throwing, skinny jeans wearing, uneducated bunch of lemmings duped by, or working directly for, a marxist organization attempting to tear down America while hiding behind a race-based name
Thankfully Republicans in the Senate seem to have noticed. https://thereload.com/exclusive-repu...fect-millions/

Except for Collins and Pussyass Portman.... Collins, I kinda get, Maine is split right down the middle between flaming Leftists and serious gun people so she has to walk a tightrope pissing each side off just enough to not be worth replacing. Portman... well, I have family who were part of the Ohio Republican Party at its founding, and it was corrupt even in their day when they were PART of the problem. Call my personal war on RINOs an attempt to atone for the sins of my forefathers, I guess...

Forty-eight Republican senators signed a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday slamming the Biden Administration’s plan to ban most pistol braces.
Republican senators said the ATF made the devices popular by initially approving their design and then expanding their legal use in a 2017 determination. They accused the agency “suddenly chang[ing] course” on their legality after nearly a decade. They said the ATF’s turnabout was “shocking,” and accused it of trying to “yank the rug out from under” law-abiding American gun owners who have purchased upwards of 7 million of the devices.
--------
Did 48 'shocked' republican Senator's sign a letter slamming the Trump admin for 'suddenly changing course on [bump stock] legality after a decade' and 'yanked the rug out from under law-abiding citizens'?
Next I suppose the NRA will say they are shocked that additional regulations would even be considered on a device the ATF has already approved. shocking I tell ya... shocking.
---------
Despite the fact that the Obama administration approved the sale of bump fire stocks on at least two occasions, the National Rifle Association is calling on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) to immediately review whether these devices comply with federal law. The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations.
