U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- In a show of political theater, President Joe Biden, surrounded by anti-gun zealots, announced the ATFs, or as he calls them, A. F. T’s action against unfinished frames and gun receivers.
The President stumbled and gaffed his way through his speech announcing the new regulation. What does the new rule do? Well, depending on who you ask, you will get different answers. The document seems to have been written by multiple people who didn’t compare notes. At times, it contradicts itself, leaving the industry scratching its heads.
There are several things we do know for sure. The first is that the home gun builder does not have to serialize anything under the new rule.
In fact, the new regulations are solely focused on the business side of things. The only time that a homemade firearm that you already own will have to be serialized is when you sell it through an FFL or bring it to a gunsmith to work on it.
We do know a firearm only has to be serialized in one place, including guns with “split receivers”, such as an AR15 Rifles. The requirement to serialize all parts was a concern of many in the gun community, but due to the amount of pressure levied against the new rule by the firearms community, the ATF walked back that requirement.
The selling of “Readily Convertable” kits is prohibited unless the frame is serialized. The sale of just an 80%-style pistol frame alone may or may NOT be legal, depending on how you read the rule. 80% AR-15 lowers are good to go unless it comes with instructions and a jig!?
If you want to avoid all this confusion, you could always just 3D print a receiver. 3D printing was left untouched by the rule.
The bottom line?
This new rule will not make us safer. Most criminals get their guns by stealing them, not making them. It is just political theater to appease the gun grabbers and get headlines.

To answer the title question, “What does this mean to gun owners?” Absolutely NOTHING for this gun owner! All it tells me is that I am perfectly legal to proceed on all fronts, as I have been doing all along.
It is time for Congress to eliminate the BATFE….NOW! and forever.
“….focused on the business side….” for now. The old stepped, phased approach. Never fear private citizen, the ATF does not intend to leave you out in the cold. They will be back……for you!!!!!
Very sad when the Presidents only help is the Easter Bunny no one could paint a more informative picture of Biden. Being ushered away by the Easter Bunny as he could not answer the questions on the treasonous acts he and his administration committed in the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
The only talking point left for democrats is there anti gun agenda. The rest anti gender anti race pro abortion lying woke propaganda spying election rigging commie loving sons of bitches that they are have failed at everything since Biden was placed in office.
Respectfully to those here at ammoland
All together now:
CRIMINALS DO NOT OBEY LAWS !!!!!
They don’t obey the thousands of existing firearm laws and they certainly won’t care about this ATF rule “re-interpretation”. Add a few parking tickets, maybe that will get the attention of the bad guys with guns.
There are a lot of things the infringe on our rights as Americans I might be wrong here but I do believe that to many who hold office now think that a executive order is absolute power. Most of the elected the President & Governors Mayors have forgotten votes are required to pass laws. As far as mandates go they are also unconstitutional by the nature of our democracy . If we continue to allow the elected to write executive orders and mandates to frame our freedoms we will be finished as a free society. With each passing day this… Read more »
No matter how u slice it they are reaching for anything since they DO NOT HAVE THE VOTES…..lets turn the country and Congress RED!
I am not an expert on these matters but, the ATF is not an elected body or a legislative body, or a judicial branch. So to me, these new “rules” that they are putting out are not legal.
The same thing happened when they tried to ban bump stocks and classify them as full auto firearms. The judicial department told them they could not do that and so their decision was reversed.
Any new rules and regulations would have to go through the Congress and voted in as law.
This is a follow up of “What will gun owners bear?” like bump stocks. It’s a good question. Since he didn’t address builders and owners so much as manufacturers of kits, will we be motivated to draw a line in the sand on this issue? Or at least a significant number of us willing to march and bellyache to our reps. I really wish the patriot reflex would kick in. That said, the J6ers are being made an example of what happens to the un-governable. The event was staged to take advantage of impulsive stupidity. I expect any sign of… Read more »
