Videos tagged with Frame or Receiver Definition

This video discusses the upcoming expiration of the Undetectable Firearms Act (UFA) on March 8th and the efforts by Gun Owners of America (GOA) to prevent its permanent reauthorization. A letter signed by 74 members of Congress urges Speaker Johnson to reject any permanent extension of the UFA, highlighting its outdated nature and potential for misuse by the ATF to enact a widespread gun ban. The video emphasizes the importance of public pressure on representatives to ensure accountability.

This video details the legal challenges and implications of the ATF's final rule redefining 'frame or receiver' and 'firearm.' It highlights the Vanderstock v. Garland lawsuit, where plaintiffs argued the ATF exceeded its statutory authority by regulating partially complete or non-functional frames/receivers and weapon parts kits. The analysis focuses on the legal interpretation of the Gun Control Act of 1968 and the Administrative Procedure Act, emphasizing the distinction between regulating actual firearms and regulating parts that could potentially become firearms. The outcome of the preliminary injunction is discussed, indicating a significant legal victory for gun rights advocates.

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.

The ATF has proposed rule 2021R05, aiming to redefine 'frame or receiver' to include any externally visible housing or holding structure for one or more fire control components, or any part with slide rails. This redefinition would classify many incomplete firearm frames, commonly known as 80% receivers, and certain firearm parts kits as firearms, requiring serialization and regulation. The proposed rule also expands the definition to include parts of silencers disposed of separately and could impact solvent traps. The video emphasizes the importance of public comment on this proposed rule.

This video details the ATF's proposed rule change regarding the definition of firearm frames and receivers, and its implications for firearm identification and serialization. It explains how the rule would classify parts kits as firearms if they can be readily completed, mandates serialization of previously unserialized firearms (PMFs), and clarifies marking requirements for manufacturers and importers. The presenter urges viewers to participate in the public comment period to voice their concerns.
