A few months ago, you were free to buy an “80 percent gun kit” and assemble the components at home to make your firearm. Nobody needed any serial numbers to compile a gun, and there were no regulations for that.
But that isn’t the case anymore. The Biden Administration has issued an action to ban unserialized “buy-build-shoot” tools used to manufacture the claimed “ghost guns.” People buying these kits will strictly undergo a mandatory background check. This is also part of the Department of Justice’s firearms identification and definition of “Frame of Receiver.”
Part of this new rule reads, “First, the final rule ensures that firearms with split receivers are subject to regulations requiring serial numbers and background checks when purchased from a licensed dealer, manufacturer, or importer. Decades ago, ATF issued a regulation defining the ‘frame or receiver’ of a firearm as the part that is regulated by the Gun Control Act – meaning that it is the part that triggers federal serialization, background check, and other requirements. At that time, many firearms in the United States were single-framed, like revolvers, that house key components in a single structure. However, we have seen the increasing popularity of firearms using split or multi-part receivers that house key components in multiple structures.
Some courts have recently interpreted the decades-old regulatory text in a way that, if broadly applied, could mean that as many as 90 percent of firearms in the United States today would not have a frame or receiver subject to federal regulation. The final rule updates the regulatory definitions of ‘frame’ and ‘receiver’ to ensure that firearms using split or multi-part receivers continue to be covered by our common-sense gun laws.”
While criminals won’t be much affected by these spooky rules, machine tools and gun Lovers’ freedom is slowly getting swiped away.
