This week, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) issued a letter to all federal firearms licensees warning them that claims that “nonfunctional” items of plastic firearm frames – not even accomplished frames– are actually thought-about wokring firearms and fall below federal firearms legal guidelines. This implies promoting “NONFUNCTIONAL” frames is now unlawful except you may have an FFL and carry out a background examine on the particular person shopping for it.
The ATF Wrote:
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is issuing this open letter to help the firearms business and the general public in understanding whether or not a “partially full, disassembled, or nonfunctional” body of a Polymer80, Lone Wolf, or related semiautomatic, striker-fired pistol (typically usually known as “Glock-type” pistols) has reached a stage of manufacture such that it “could readily be accomplished, assembled, restored, or in any other case transformed” to a practical body, and is due to this fact categorized as a “body” or “firearm” in accordance with the ultimate rule titled Definition of ‘Body or Receiver’ and Identification of Firearms (Remaining Rule 2021R-05F), which turned efficient August 24, 2022. Specifically, the next addresses partially full, disassembled, or nonfunctional semiautomatic strikerfired pistol frames or components kits manufactured, offered, or distributed by Polymer80 (often known as ‘Poly80’ or ‘P80’ frames or blanks), Lone Wolf (often known as ‘Freedom Wolf 80%’ frames), and others, with the traits described beneath.
Based on the Biden administration and the ATF, the inoperable piece of plastic is now a gun and must be serialized and below the identical rules as precise weapons. So now, firearm components kits are actually apparently thought-about working firearms by the federal authorities.
Right here is the official letter to all FFL holders…
Gun House owners of America, The one no-compromise gun foyer within the nation, plans to take the problem to the courts. They stated, “How can the ATF create prison penalties for gun homeowners for rules the ATF doesn’t even perceive?!”
The ATF has lengthy needed to ban the sale of 80% decrease receivers and kits and now has the political energy to take action below the Biden Regime. American gun homeowners have been constructing weapons from scratch for the reason that founding of our nation; now, that custom is below direct assault and being criminalized by a bunch of anti-gun, anti-American bureaucrats who will now resolve what’s and isn’t a body or receiver.
This has nothing to do with stopping criminals – in any case, 90% of crime is dedicated with a stolen firearm. Gang members should not on the market constructing their very own weapons; gunsmiths, hobbyists, and hard-working Individuals are. They aren’t going after criminals; they’re making YOU THE CRIMINAL!
