Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ATF's proposed rule change regarding stabilizing braces?

The ATF has proposed a rule change that would redefine criteria for firearms with attached stabilizing braces, potentially classifying many commonly owned firearms as short-barreled rifles (SBRs). This has led to a significant public comment period, with many arguing it would criminalize millions of law-abiding citizens.

What are the concerns about the ATF's proposed receiver definition?

Critics argue the ATF's proposed redefinition of a firearm receiver is vague, using terms like 'readily converted to expel a projectile.' This vagueness could potentially criminalize individuals who possess parts or materials for making firearms, impacting the right to self-manufacturing.

What is the status of David Chipman's nomination to lead the ATF?

David Chipman's nomination to lead the ATF has advanced out of committee and is awaiting a full Senate vote. Public pressure is being exerted on senators to oppose his confirmation due to concerns about his anti-gun stance and potential for weaponizing the ATF against gun owners.

How can individuals influence ATF regulations and nominations?

Individuals can influence ATF regulations by submitting comments during public comment periods for proposed rules. They can also contact their elected senators to voice opinions on nominations, such as David Chipman's, to the ATF leadership.
