ATF 80% Rule Change - Are Uppers banned? NO

A Department of Justice lawyer's statements in court significantly undermined the Biden administration's 'ghost gun rule.' The lawyer indicated that selling 80% lower receivers is permissible as long as they are not sold with jigs, drill bits, or instructions, suggesting the focus of regulation should be on the tools for conversion rather than the receivers themselves. This revelation has implications for ongoing lawsuits challenging the rule's vagueness and enforceability.

This video discusses the ATF's proposed rule changes regarding firearm frames and receivers, often referred to as 'ghost guns,' and the significant public and congressional pushback. It highlights efforts by anti-gun groups to solicit comments and the involvement of Congress members like Andy Biggs and Jim Jordan in scrutinizing the ATF's actions. The content emphasizes the importance of citizen engagement and understanding regulatory overreach.

This video features Frank Saccoccio, President of the Rhode Island Second Amendment Coalition and an attorney, discussing the effects of Rhode Island's new 'Ghost Gun Ban' (S2004). Saccoccio clarifies that the law requires individuals to mark self-manufactured firearms, including 80% lowers, with specific information like name/initials, a unique serial number, city, and state. He emphasizes that firearms manufactured before 1968 and not requiring markings are exempt, and that individuals have 30 days post-bill passage to comply with marking requirements. The discussion also touches on the collaborative efforts of various Second Amendment groups in Rhode Island and advice for firearm owners.

This video discusses the Pennsylvania Attorney General's classification of 80% lower receivers as firearms, creating confusion and potential legal challenges for firearm owners. It clarifies federal law, stating that unfinished 80% receivers are not firearms until machined by the end-user, and serialization is encouraged but not federally required. The discussion highlights the difference between individual firearm manufacturing for personal use and manufacturing for profit, which requires an FFL. The video also touches on the role of law enforcement discretion and the potential for political agendas in firearm legislation.

This video provides a crucial update on California's ghost gun regulations effective July 1st, 2018. It clarifies that even firearms manufactured before this date with existing serial numbers will require a new DOJ-approved serial number after July 1st. For unfinished polymer 80% lowers, new regulations mandate 3.7 ounces of metal content to facilitate markings, a requirement the speaker believes may effectively prohibit their use. The video strongly recommends viewing a webinar by Michelle and Associates and CRPA for comprehensive details.

This video discusses a new legal challenge in New Jersey targeting the sale of 'ghost guns,' specifically 80% lower receivers. The state Attorney General is demanding businesses stop selling these components, which are legal under federal law as they are not serialized and require individual manufacturing to become functional firearms. The speaker criticizes this move as an attack on the legal right to build one's own firearm.

This guide details the assembly and tuning of an AR-15 build designed for zero recoil, as demonstrated by Reno May. It focuses on integrating specialized components like the Unrivaled Technologies LP-X3 muzzle brake, a multi-stage dead blow buffer, a lightweight BCG, and an adjustable gas block. Proper tuning of the gas system and muzzle brake is crucial for achieving minimal muzzle movement and a flat shooting profile, even during rapid fire.

This video critiques the hypocrisy of anti-gun advocates who condemn firearms for home defense while endorsing more brutal, less effective methods. Reno May, a subject matter expert from The Gun Collective, showcases an AR-15 style rifle as a practical home defense tool, questioning the 'too violent' label when compared to alternatives like baseball bats, wasp spray, or machetes.

This video demonstrates an unconventional use of a pistol brace, satirizing ATF regulations by attaching it to the leg instead of the arm. The presenter, Reno May, an experienced firearms instructor, showcases safe dry-fire practice with the brace on his ankle, highlighting the absurdity of current regulatory interpretations. The demonstration uses a Ruger 22 Charger with a red dot optic.

This video demonstrates a manual bump-firing technique for achieving rapid fire without a mechanical bumpstock device. Instructor Reno May showcases how to achieve high rates of fire on AR-15 and AK-pattern rifles using proper grip, trigger control, and body mechanics. The demonstration emphasizes that high-capacity magazines and optics can facilitate rapid shooting, but the core technique relies on manual manipulation and trigger reset. Proper safety protocols, including PPE, are highlighted.
