ATF “clarifies” their position on gun kits…
For months I’ve been explaining to people inside and outside of the gun community how ridiculous the new ATF Rules affecting the sale of Gun Building Kits are.
Many, including several journalists, have seemed kinda skeptical that the ATF would _really_ take the position that the mere presence of the tools one uses to finish a lower receiver or frame makes an otherwise non-firearm a firearm (legally).
Well…. Yesterday, the ATF put out a letter and some pictures “clarifying” the issue. They also confirmed that merely MARKETING a precursor (“80% Lower”) with a template or jig makes it legally a “firearm”, subject to serialization and other requirements.
I can’t fathom this position being upheld by any court, but, in the meantime:
1. Share this example with anyone who doubts the idea that US Gun Laws are a ridiculous set of barely navigable restrictions and technicalities that have little to do with saving lives or preventing negative outcomes related to gun ownership.
(Including politicians and journalists)
2. Don’t misunderstand these definitions as having done anything significant to affect YOUR Freedom to privately build guns. While the definition has disrupted the retail market (because precursors/parts and jigs/tools need to be sold separately unless serialized & through an FFL), everything you need is still readily available and there has been no change in Federal Law affecting individuals.
3. While these definitions are in place, it is _possible_ that your State or Local law enforcement may consider you in possession of a “firearm” if you have what was a simply a kit just 45 days ago… and it (precursor & jig together) may be subject ANY gun laws in regard to transportation, storage and/or sale.
Spread the good word… and: Build Guns.
