Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key changes proposed in the leaked ATF document regarding firearms?

The leaked ATF document proposes expanding the definition of 'firearm' to include parts kits and items 'readily convertible' to expel a projectile. It also introduces new regulations for 'privately made firearms' (PMFs), requiring serialization and FFL involvement for items like 80% lowers and 3D printed guns.

How will the proposed ATF rules affect 80% lowers and pistol braces?

The proposed rules will subject 80% lowers and kits to firearm regulations, requiring manufacturers to be licensed and pay excise taxes. FFLs selling these to unlicensed individuals will need to conduct background checks. Pistol braces are also targeted by the broader expansion of firearm definitions.

What is a 'Privately Made Firearm' (PMF) under the proposed ATF regulations?

A 'Privately Made Firearm' (PMF) is defined as a firearm, frame, or receiver produced by an unlicensed person without a serial number or identifying marks from a licensed manufacturer. This definition directly impacts items like 3D printed guns and unfinished receivers.

What is the significance of the 'readily convertible' definition in the new ATF rules?

The 'readily convertible' definition is broadened to include processes that are 'fairly or reasonably efficient, quick, and easy.' This expanded definition allows more items and parts, even if incomplete, to be classified as regulated firearms under the GCA and NFA.
