The FBI is considering an upgrade to its NICS background check system to cross-reference age requirements between a firearm buyer's state of residence and the state of sale. This change stems from a DOJ Inspector General report prompted by an incident where an 18-year-old Florida resident purchased a shotgun in Colorado, where the age limit was 18, but Florida prohibits firearm sales to those under 21. The speaker expresses concern that this expansion of federal oversight into interstate firearm transactions infringes upon Second Amendment rights and highlights the complexity of differing state laws.
The ATF raided Polymer80, a manufacturer of 80% lowers for AR-15s and Glock-style firearms. The raid appears to target 'buy build shoot' kits, which include an 80% lower, jig, and all necessary parts to complete a firearm. The ATF's definition of a complete firearm hinges on the frame being over 80% manufactured, with the remaining percentage considered unregulated material. The ATF's concern with these kits may stem from their marketing as 'ready to shoot in minutes' and potential avoidance of taxes and background checks on interstate sales.
