Videos tagged with FFL Record Keeping

This video discusses the differences between paper and digital record-keeping for firearm purchases at FFLs. While digital systems can reduce human error and offer convenience, all transaction data ultimately goes through the FBI's NICS system. Serial numbers are generally not recorded unless a firearm is traced due to criminal activity.

This video details ATF Final Rule 2021R-05F, which significantly impacts the manufacturing and sale of firearms, particularly 80% lowers and privately made firearms (PMFs). The ruling redefines frames and receivers, requiring serialization of previously unserialized components and amending record-keeping requirements for Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs). The speaker emphasizes the rule's intent to curb 'ghost guns' and increase traceability.

This video analyzes the ATF's new frame or receiver rule, focusing on its impact on privately made firearms (PMFs) and unfinished receivers. It clarifies that AR-15 uppers are not considered firearms under the new definition, but the rule significantly alters the definition of a frame or receiver, potentially impacting the sale of 80% receivers and parts kits. The video also discusses new serialization requirements for FFLs holding PMFs and extended record-keeping mandates.

This video from Washington Gun Law TV, hosted by William Kirk, details the ATF's proposed rule changes that significantly expand definitions of firearm components and increase regulatory burdens. The proposed rule aims to bring more firearms and parts under federal control by redefining 'frame or receiver,' 'firearm,' and 'gunsmith.' It also imposes stricter marking, serialization, and record-keeping requirements on manufacturers, importers, and Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs), particularly impacting privately made firearms (PMFs) and firearm parts kits.

This video discusses two critical ATF proposed rule changes impacting firearm owners. The first redefines 'frame or receiver,' potentially classifying multiple parts as firearms, which could lead to a de facto national gun registry through extended FFL record retention. The second targets pistol braces, effectively banning most configurations and requiring registration or surrender, with severe penalties for non-compliance. The speakers emphasize the need for public comments and contacting representatives to combat these perceived overreaches.
