Bypasses Congress .......... of course. (https://gunsinthenews.com/biden-bypasses-congress-constitution-issues-new-gun-control-dictate-with-complete-disregard-for-2nd-amendment/)
... The new rule attacks individuals who build their own firearms at home.
In response to Biden’s new dictate, Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky lambasted the president’s decision to bypass Congress and attack one of the key components of the Second Amendment.
The Constitution does not authorize the federal government to prevent you from making your own firearm. This a fact that has been recognized for 200+ years. Also, Article 1, Section 1 (literally the first operative sentence in the Constitution) says Congress makes law, not POTUS!
... According to the new dictate, “this final rule bans the business of manufacturing the most accessible ghost guns, such as unserialized “buy build shoot” kits that individuals can buy online or at a store without a background check and can readily assemble into a working firearm in as little as 30 minutes with equipment they have at home.”
The rule also dictates that gun stores can no longer destroy their records after 20 years. These stores must turn over lists to the ATF of every gun purchased at their store so the ATF can maintain a running database of American gun owners.
Not just gun stores; all FFL holders.

Bypasses the Constitution,
Sounds like worthless & invalid drool, spittle & blather from a dude who's practically begging for a bullet.

The most egregiously lawless trying to impose illegal laws on citizens they despise for existing and cherishing Founding Principles says all you need to know.
It also warrants vociferous condemnation and righteous defiance!
Take this illegitimate order and stuff it up your dictator!!! ::vafancoul::
It's the same un-Constitutional crap they always pull!
Like this BS - https://justthenews.com/nation/states/center-square/22-ags-file-brief-scotus-against-federal-firearm-accessory-ban

Oh, and the latest ATF nominee can GFH! Another self-loathing Jew who likes to chase the lefts political opponent bogeymen while defending (since last leaving govt) white collar crooks...fitting for a corrupt from top to bottom illegitimate regime! Plus, card-carrying charter member of Team Obama so we know whose orders he marches to!

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
—CBD
They can't define "woman," but they have no problem defining and redefining and torturing and twisting the plain language of the 2nd Amendment into tens of thousands of pages of impenetrable text designed to do one thing...harass law-abiding Americans and, when they hit the jackpot, throw some of them in jail.
The ATF is the very definition of the Deep State, with its career apparatchiks trying desperately to please the rabid gun haters who seem always to have the upper hand in the administration. Their labyrinthine regulatory structures are frankly impossible to satisfy, and the hundreds of prosecutions for ridiculous violations, and the many FFL licenses summarily revoked are testaments to the real goal...the destruction of our God-given, natural right to self defense against evil.
And the reason? Because they know that they are the evil, and in a just world the people of the United States would be coming after them, hammer and tongs, for the vile and underhanded violations of our rights.
Supreme Court Hears Oral Arguments in Case Centered on ATF's Redefinition of a 'Firearm'
The Supreme Court of the United States will hear oral arguments Tuesday in VanDerStock v. Garland, a case focused on the ATF’s unilateral action to redefine what constitutes a “firearm.”
The case revolves around ATF Final Rule 2021-05F, which placed new controls on gun parts kits and firearms which Democrats describe as “ghost guns.”
A central part of this rule was redefining what the word “firearm” meant so as to designate “partially completed pistol frames” and other gun parts as “firearms.”
Here's a good definition of a gun: If it can fire, it's a gun. If it can't fire, it's not a gun. What these bureaucrats are aiming for is the definition of every part of a weapon as the weapon itself, so if you need a $1 firing-pin spring or a $2 grip screw you will have to purchase it through an FFL and file a 4473.
My experience with gun owners is that they are law-abiding folk. But it is arrant nonsense such as this that drives people to decide that next time they'll just buy from friends or build their own. And the ingenuity of the American gun enthusiast knows no bounds. They will stay ahead of the ATF...legally or murkily.
Of course if the ATF really cared about so-called "gun violence," they would go after guns possessed by convicted felons. You know...in the inner cities...where the Democrat voting strongholds carefully protect those felons. But they do not care about bad guys using guns to commit crimes. They care about expanding their vast database of legal gun owners, and they care about the ultimate goal of their masters...confiscation of all guns in America.
Well...except for those felons' guns...those are okay.

Hopefully, it is a quick slam-dunk rejection of this ridiculous, insane and un-American definition of what constitutes a "gun"!
-
Selling so called ghost guns (w/o lower receiver serial numbers) is already illegal. Gang bankers in the hood are not machining their own lower receivers.

a gun isn't a gun until it is....
...and America was not Founded by people registering guns, keeping any kind of list of guns or barring anything the government also has in its possession...
