Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Biden administration's new rule regarding firearms?

The Biden administration is attempting to redefine 'firearm' to include individual parts in weapon parts kits. This would require these parts to be regulated as functional firearms, mandating serial numbers, background checks, and permanent record retention by FFLs, which critics argue creates a national gun registry.

What are the implications of redefining 'firearm' to include parts?
