Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main concerns regarding the ATF's proposed rules on frames and receivers?

How could the ATF's proposed rule on pistol braces affect gun owners?

The ATF's proposed rule on factoring criteria for firearms with stabilizing braces could potentially criminalize millions of law-abiding citizens who own these firearms in good faith, turning them into felons overnight by overturning existing interpretive guidance.

What action are North Carolina Congressmen urging their state officials to take?

North Carolina Republican Congressmen are urging Governor Cooper and Attorney General Stein to reject President Biden's executive actions and refuse to implement or assist in the enforcement of the ATF's two new proposed rules, citing unconstitutional infringement on Second Amendment rights.

Critics argue that the ATF is using its bureaucratic rulemaking authority to bypass the legislative process and enact new laws, which they contend is a violation of the system of checks and balances and an abuse of executive power.
