Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Biden administration's new rule regarding frames and receivers?

The Biden administration's new rule requires federally licensed dealers and gunsmiths to serialize any unserialized firearm they take into inventory. This impacts the sale of 'ghost guns' and kits like those from Polymer80, requiring them to be serialized before being sold to customers.

When does the new ATF frame and receiver rule go into effect?

The new ATF rule regarding frames and receivers is set to go into effect 180 days after its publication in the Federal Register. This provides a significant grace period for compliance and for legal challenges to be mounted.

Is it illegal to make your own firearm under the new Biden administration rule?

No, it is not illegal to make your own firearm. The new regulations primarily target the sale and transfer of unserialized firearm components and kits by federally licensed dealers and gunsmiths, not the act of an individual manufacturing a firearm for personal use.

What is 'chevron deference' and how does it relate to the new ATF rule?

Chevron deference is a legal principle where courts give deference to an agency's interpretation of an ambiguous statute it administers. Critics argue this allows the ATF to interpret the frame and receiver rule loosely, potentially leading to arbitrary enforcement and circumventing the legislative process.

Who is Steve Dettelbach, and why is his nomination for ATF director significant?

Steve Dettelbach has been nominated by President Biden to be the permanent director of the ATF. His nomination is significant because gun rights organizations, like NAGR, oppose him due to his endorsements from gun control groups, viewing his potential leadership as politically driven and detrimental to Second Amendment rights.
