Frequently Asked Questions

What are Biden's executive actions on firearms?

Biden's executive actions direct the DOJ to propose rules on 3D printed firearms ('ghost guns'), clarify regulations on stabilizing braces, and publish model red flag legislation for states. An annual firearms trafficking report is also mandated, and David Chipman was nominated as ATF Director.

How do stabilizing braces affect firearm classification?

The DOJ is proposing a rule to determine when a stabilizing brace on a pistol effectively turns it into a short-barreled rifle, making it subject to the National Firearms Act (NFA) requirements, which include registration and taxes.

What is the significance of the Sixth Circuit Court's ruling on bump stocks?

The Sixth Circuit ruled that administrative agencies like the ATF cannot create laws out of thin air or simply reinterpret existing laws. This decision is seen as a significant legal precedent that could challenge the validity of future executive actions on firearms.

Who is David Chipman and why is his ATF nomination controversial?

David Chipman, a former ATF agent and advocate for stricter gun control, was nominated as ATF Director. His nomination is controversial due to his past involvement in events like the Waco siege and his public stance advocating for bans on certain firearms and universal background checks.

What are red flag laws and what is the concern about them?

Red flag laws allow courts to temporarily remove firearms from individuals deemed a danger. Critics argue they can ignore due process, and the DOJ publishing model legislation is seen as a blueprint to encourage state adoption, potentially leading to federal legislation.
