This video features Dan Kelly, a former ATF agent and firearms law expert, explaining the legal intricacies surrounding ATF's classification of firearms, particularly concerning pistols with foregrips. Kelly clarifies that the ATF's recent actions are not arbitrary but stem from a long-standing misapplication of existing definitions, specifically regarding what constitutes a handgun versus an 'Any Other Weapon' (AOW) under the National Firearms Act (NFA). The discussion delves into the definitions of handguns and AOWs, the historical context of ATF's rulings on foregrips, and potential strategies for firearm owners to comply with or navigate these regulations.

This video delves into the complex definitions used by the ATF regarding firearms, specifically focusing on the distinction between handguns, rifles, shotguns, and general firearms under the Gun Control Act and the National Firearms Act (NFA). It highlights how the ATF's interpretation of these definitions, particularly concerning AR and AK pistols, could lead to them being classified as 'Any Other Weapon' (AOW) under the NFA, requiring a tax stamp. The discussion also touches upon the potential motivations behind the ATF's fluid stance and the implications for firearm owners and manufacturers.

This video discusses a potential ATF reinterpretation of handgun definitions that could reclassify AR and AK pistols as 'Any Other Weapons' (AOWs) under the National Firearms Act. This reclassification would require federal registration and taxation, with failure to comply leading to severe penalties. The ATF is considering objective design features, but their classifications are unpredictable and can be applied retroactively. For California residents, this adds complexity without bypassing existing assault weapon bans.
