Frequently Asked Questions

What is New Jersey's Attorney General doing regarding 'ghost guns'?

New Jersey's Attorney General has demanded that all businesses selling 'ghost guns,' specifically 80% lower receivers, stop their sales within the state. This action is seen as an attempt to restrict the legal manufacturing of firearms by individuals.

Are 80% lower receivers legal?

Under federal law, 80% lower receivers are legal to purchase because they are not serialized and are not considered functional firearms until an individual machines them. Companies cannot sell serialized firearms without serial numbers, but the individual can manufacture their own.

What is the federal definition of a firearm?

According to federal law, a firearm is not simply a chunk of metal, wood, or a barrel. It is defined as a combination of parts that can be assembled to create a working, functioning gun.

Why is machining an 80% lower receiver difficult?

Machining an 80% lower receiver, particularly for a rifle, requires precise tolerances to ensure the firearm is safe and functions correctly. Achieving these exact measurements is challenging and requires specific skills and time.
