The ATF has released its final rule concerning 'ghost guns,' defining complete gun-building kits as readily convertible to firearms and thus firearms themselves. This rule impacts how these kits can be sold and requires FFL holders to engrave serial numbers on home-built firearms they take possession of. Additionally, FFL holders must now retain Form 4473 indefinitely, a move the speaker views as a precursor to a searchable gun registry.
