ATF 80% Rule Enjoined By Fifth Circuit
From Ammoland:
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld most of the preliminary injunction awarded to Defense Distributed and Blackhawk Manufacturing (d.b.a 80% Arms) in VanDerStok v. Garland.
ATF Says “80%” Frames Are Firearms, Require 4473
From The Truth About Guns:
Partially complete Polymer80, Lone Wolf, and similar striker-fired semiautomatic pistol frames, including, but not limited to, those sold within parts kits, are regulated by the Gun Control Act (GCA) because they have reached a stage of manufacture where they “may readily be completed, assembled, restored, or otherwise converted” to a functional frame.
Montana AG Demands YouTube Put Gun Videos Back Up
From The Truth About Guns:
The letter was prompted by YouTube’s takedown of videos that gun dealer Jason Schaller had published showing how to complete a firearm including unserialized parts including an 80% lower. That activity, if you’re keeping score at home, is still perfectly legal in 45 states or so.
JSD Supply Wants Injunction Against ATF
From Ammoland:
JSD Supply sued the ATF after the Bureau issued the company a cease-and-desist order demanding that it stop selling parts and kits on its website. The government insisted that selling unfinished firearms frames and parts constituted selling unserialized firearms without a federal firearms license (FFL), even if the customer purchased the items separately. The ATF called this “structuring.”
AZ Senate Candidate Blake Masters Says Gun Control Is Dead
From Real Clear Politics:
Finally, he concluded that gun control is obsolete – “I think it’s dead politically. I think it’s dead technologically.” Despite the efforts of the president, Masters believes that the accelerating pace of innovation has forever eclipsed regulators who seek to rein in ghost guns. “Because as the stuff gets easier, anyone’s just going to be able to print a gun. And pretty soon it won’t take 30 minutes, and pretty soon it won’t be hard, and I regard that as a welcome development.”
How Will San Francisco Enforce Ban On Homemade Guns?
From San Francisco Chronicle:
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on Tuesday unanimously voted to outlaw the sale and possession of “ghost gun†kits and parts in the city, marking a key moment in what is emerging as a statewide battle against the untraceable weapons.
The ordinance allows police and the city attorney’s office to go after manufacturers and providers who profit off the sale of ghost gun kits and parts. Officials would be able to build up trafficking cases against them. Each violation or sale of a part would be punishable by a $1,000 fine.
ATF Targeting 80% Industry
From Ammoland:
Although the detailed discussions of the meeting are unknown at this time, AmmoLand News received leaked emails from our sources that show that the ATF is seeking a new definition of a firearm. Joe Biden has targeted so-called “ghost guns†and semi-automatic rifles and recent days. Sources say he is pushing to accelerate those changes by using the ATF as a stop-gap for stalled federal legislation.
California AG Sues ATF Over 80% Firearms
From Courthouse News:
Shearer, who is co-counsel in the lawsuit, said state gun laws have been undermined by the ATF’s refusal to treat the parts used to build homemade guns as firearms. This allows “unscrupulous†DIY firearm sellers to flood the gun market.
“The ATF has specifically exempted them from the federal definition of a firearm, meaning federal gun laws don’t apply to them. As a result, people can order and build these guns without passing background check or even verifying their age,†she said. “This has opened the biggest loophole you can imagine in our federal and state gun laws.â€
