Frequently Asked Questions

What is HR7910, the 'Protecting Our Kids Act,' and how does it affect firearm ownership?

HR7910, the 'Protecting Our Kids Act,' proposes to redefine 'manufacturing firearms' to potentially include the disassembly and reassembly of functional firearms. It also broadens the definition of 'ghost guns' to include unserialized parts, which could criminalize routine gun maintenance and ownership of commonly unserialized components like AR-15 upper receivers.

How does HR7910 define 'ghost guns' and 'ghost gun parts'?

Under HR7910, a 'ghost gun' is a firearm lacking a serial number from a licensed manufacturer. Crucially, 'ghost gun parts' are also targeted, meaning unserialized components, such as an AR-15 upper receiver, could be deemed illegal parts, making the entire firearm subject to the ban.

Could routine firearm maintenance like cleaning and reassembly become illegal under HR7910?

Yes, the bill's broad definition of 'manufacturing firearms' to include assembling a functional firearm could make routine disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly of a firearm illegal if certain parts are unserialized. This is a significant concern for law-abiding gun owners.

What are 'fire control components' and 'frames or receivers' according to HR7910?

HR7910 defines 'fire control components' as parts essential for firing (e.g., hammer, trigger). A 'frame or receiver' is the housing for these components. The bill states that if a weapon has multiple parts serving as housing for fire control components, each could be considered a frame or receiver, potentially impacting many firearms.
