I am planning to write my representative about this. I am not one to "do nothing" about it.
Yes. Bloomberg says so. If it will only save the life of one child.
Easily Val Kilmers best role. Say when.
It’s very simple really. As it stands right now, there’s no regulation saying that all serialized parts on a firearm must be matching.
Didn’t save Bryant or whatever her name was that was attempting to stab that other girl!!!! From what I understand that altercation was literally because someone ate her last pop tart!!!
It won’t ever really work. What about the millions already out there? Do they think everyone going to fall in and go get everything they already own serialized?
do they think gang bangers and cartels going to care about any of this? Come on. But yes writing seems to have halted the last few times they had some great (rolling eyes) ideas.Sadly.
This is the question I have to ask. My wife was a 911 Disp. Super., she use to run Ser.#'s on lost/stolen/used in a crime, firearms. When she would run a particular #, she would get up to 10-15 hits, and they would all be for different types of firearms, I.E. rifles, handguns, shotguns, all different calibers, manufacturers and any variation of such firearms.
The NRA is dead. Fuck them. GOA and NSSF have already issued statements
I have not yet but it says the comment portal will not be available online until it’s published in the federal registrar even though the comment period begins the minute the AG signs it. Best guess, Monday.
Lol, “intention”. Like any government agency anywhere ever gave a crap about intention when the political winds blew. Take a good long look back at the history of gun control and how it is implemented. Nobody nowhere no how ever ‘intended’ for it to restrict anyone’s rights. That has worked wonderfully don’t you think?
So currently only the lower has to be serialized because that is considered the firearm. Under this new rule, the bolt carrier is part of the firing mechanism and is contained in the upper and because of this the upper now has to be serialized and is considered a firearm. It’s really that simple. No conspiracy.
Oh I’ve read it and I know what your getting at and it doesn’t matter as long as we aren’t dealing with NFA items. But this will make the upper of an SBR need a separate tax stamp as well as the lower if current practice continues. can’t put a short barrel on a frame or receiver that isn’t registered as an SBR.
Under this NPRM, an upper receiver could easily fall under this “Therefore, to reflect existing case law, this proposed rule would add a sentence at the end necessary to complete a functional weapon within a short period of time. Some of them include jigs, templates, instructions, drill bits, and tools that allow the purchaser to complete the weapon to a functional state with minimal effort, expertise, or equipment. Weapon parts kits such as these are “firearms” under the GCA because they are designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive.43 Manufacturers of such parts kits must be licensed, abide by the marking and recordkeeping requirements, and pay Federal Firearms Excise Tax on their sales price.”
Congress has been delegating it's power and responsibilities to unelected govt officials for generations. It's one of the (many) reasons our government has become as bloated and corrupt as it has - the people's vote has been diluted.
Even if they sent it to congress today it would probably pass given the current state of things. Frankly I’ve gotten to where I really don’t care what they decide to do. The 2A is the supreme law of the land and until its amended its pretty freaking clear. So I don’t care. Most people have what they need already and only a fool would comply with such nonsense even if they did make the interpretation. If you comply with this you might add well move to Australia or go ahead and turn it all in.
I’m not trying to be conspiratorial. The NPRM says they are purposely leaving it vague so as technology or definitions change they don’t have to keep asking for comments to reevaluate what is what. I think their intent is pretty clear.
You and I don’t have to comply with anything. As someone stated earlier, this will be enforced and complied with by manufacturers and resellers With the fear of losing their FFL or SOT as the bait.
Public comments have worked in the past to stop or change the rule making process. Will they this time? I don't know. They do have to be overwhelming enough to get legislators attention, though. I will make one.
It wouldn't be the first time in recent history we've put them on their heels. Silence is consent, disobey the unlawful shit they peddle fine, but say nothing and they will continue to do as they please without fear. As long as we stand as one they will fall over backwards.
Phone calls and emails are the same as doing nothing. Would you give an example of our side putting anyone in govt on their heels?
You keep throwing out the term conspiracy theory as if that’s supposed to shut people up from recognizing what’s really happening. Of course, that means you have to have accepted what has already been done as perfectly okay and blinded yourself to what these politicians have specifically stated they are going to do.
I both disagree, with your first statement, and agree, with your conclusion.
All my calls have been unanswered. All my emails have been either ignored or had some generic bullshit reply. You think our govt is salvageable. I don’t.
The public comments however are part of the permanent record. They have actually used them in Supreme Court arguments in the past.
Which supreme court? The corrupt federal or state courts? Things changed over this last year men. I’ve changed with it. I’ve learned to hate the whole damn system.
Logged in the licensees records?
The problem with “ghost guns” as the govt sees it is not the thug on the street putting one together.
