Supreme Court To Hear DIY Gun Case
From The Truth About Guns:
The case, VanDerStok v. Garland, challenges the Department of Justice’s 2022 Final Rule that redefined important legal terms dealing with guns, including “firearm,” “receiver” and “frame,” making the longstanding American tradition of building personal firearms pretty much a thing of the past. Back in April, the court voted 4-3 to consider the challenge.
“Ghost Gun” Laws Don’t Stop Criminals
From Bearing Arms:
The Biden Administration issued guidance in 2022 to make these unfinished parts subjected to the same regulation as completed firearms.
A new rule in April 2022 required gun manufacturers to complete background checks and add serial numbers to parts.
Despite, the crackdown, the ABC11 I-Team purchased parts for a popular name-brand handgun online after the rule went into effect and received parts without serial numbers and the site did not conduct a background check.
Court Upholds DIY Firearms
From Ammoland:
The case, Vanderstok v. Garland, was brought by the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and challenged the ATF’s decision to reclassify unfinished frames and receivers as firearms. Biden and other anti-gun zealots have railed against Americans building their own guns in the privacy of their own homes. The anti-gun side of the debate has propagandized these items as tools of criminals and has labeled the items as “ghost guns.”
“Ghost Gun” Threat Over Hyped
From Bearing Arms:
So-called “ghost guns†are really just any firearm that’s created without a serial number. Making such weapons isn’t illegal. It’s not even illegal in many places that have supposedly banned these kinds of weapons–mostly because the bans only impact kits and not the act itself. Making a firearm yourself is something that a lot of Americans enjoy.
Yet some people are completely uncomfortable with the idea that someone could build a firearm and not have to get permission from the government to do so.
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 Looking To Change Definition Of Gun
From Breitbart:
According to the Wall Street Journal, the ATF is framing the scenario as an expansion of what can be categorized as a “firearm,†a move that “could subject ghost guns to the same regulations as other firearms.â€
The ATF’s April Langwell defended the agency’s look into new regulations for such guns, saying, “ATF routinely meets with our regulated industry participants to discuss matters of mutual concern. One of those meetings is scheduled for this week, and ATF looks forward to continuing this important dialogue.â€
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.
DIY Gun Bans Are Dead On Arrival
From Reason:
The problem with imposing legal restrictions intended to stop a practice that is designed to evade legal restrictions is that you were outflanked before you even started. That’s the challenge for President Joe Biden and lawmakers around the country as they consider limits on “ghost guns”—homemade guns that are created, owned, and used off the government’s radar. Do-it-yourself manufacturing has always hobbled authorities’ ability to control things they don’t like, and the modern ghost gun movement specifically evolved to put personal armaments beyond the reach of the state.
