As a threshold matter, the new definition makes clear that a frame or receiver must be visible to the exterior when the complete weapon is assembled so that licensees can quickly record the identifying markings, and law enforcement officers who recover the weapon can easily see the identifying markings for tracing purposes. An accurate firearm description is necessary to trace a firearm and is required to be recorded by a person licensed to engage in the business of manufacturing, importing, or dealing in firearms, or by a licensed collector of curio or relic firearms, regardless of whether it is a business or personal firearm. While every effort has been made to ensure that Add definitions for Complete muffler or silencer device and Complete weapon; b. Proposed Use of Information: The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives would use this information for criminal investigation or regulatory compliance with the Gun Control Act of 1968. So it appears that not only are they going to soon restrict 80% receivers, but they also want to call an AR-15 Upper Receiver a "firearm." Just how this would be implemented is not clear. A licensed manufacturer qualified under part 479 may transfer a replacement part defined as a firearm muffler or firearm silencer other than a frame or receiver to a qualified manufacturer or dealer without identifying or registering such part provided that, upon receipt, it is actively used to repair a complete muffler or silencer device that was previously identified and registered in accordance with this part. The term "Firearm" means: Any weapon (including a starter gun) which will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; The frame or receiver of any such weapon; Any firearm muffler or firearm silencer; or. This responsibility includes the authority to promulgate regulations necessary to enforce the provisions of the GCA and NFA. In paragraph (b)(1)(iv)(G), remove serial number and add in its place serial number(s). See, e.g., United States v. Hardin, 889 F.3d 945, 946 (8th Cir. 47. Single-framed firearms incorporate the hammer, bolt or breechblock, and firing mechanism within the same housing. See 18 U.S.C. If ATF receives a request to examine or copy this information, it will treat it as any other request under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 901(a), 82 Stat. Again, due to the new definition and changes to marking regulations, the technical amendments here would make certain words plural (e.g., manufacturer(s), country or countries of manufacture, and serial number(s)) in the regulations as applicable. This rule does not require individuals to mark their personal firearms. (c) Partially complete, disassembled, or inoperable frame or receiver.

Codified Laws 22-14-5; Tenn. Code Ann. 3501-20). In 2016, ATF issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in response to a petition for rulemaking from a firearms industry trade association recommending that regulations be amended to require that a silencer be marked on the outer tube (as opposed to other locations), unless a variance is granted by the Director on a case-by-case basis for good cause. More specifically, ATF believes that the majority of the industry currently complies with these requirements, so the cost would be minimal. Stat. Stat. The Regulatory Impact Analysis is available on www.regulations.gov in the same docket as this rule. The information required by this paragraph shall be entered in the proper record book not later than the seventh day following the date of the transaction. This proposed rule would affect a one-time number of responses of 12,088 responses (6,044 respondents * 2 responses). [21], The GCA insists that the dealer keep certain records, to enable federal authorities both to enforce the law's verification measures and to trace firearms used in crimes. Abramski v. United States, 573 U.S. 169, 173 (2014) (citing H. Rep. No. In addition to Federal law, 18 U.S.C. section 45-6-326; Neb. First, there would be a general definition of frame or receiver with non-exclusive examples that illustrate the definition. ATF specifically requests comments on the feasibility of implementing the new definition of firearm frame or receiver in 27 CFR 478.11 and 27 CFR 479.11, and related definitions and amendments that ensure the proper marking, recordkeeping, and traceability of all firearms manufactured, imported, acquired and disposed by Federal firearms licensees. 54. The serial number(s) must begin with the licensee's abbreviated Federal firearms license number as a prefix, which is the first three and last five digits, followed by a hyphen, and then followed by a number as a suffix, e.g., 12345678-[number]. [7], Although ATF's regulatory definitions of frame or receiver do not expressly capture these types of firearms (i.e., split/multi-piece receivers) that now constitute the majority of firearms in the United States,[8] 39. documents in the last year, by the Indian Affairs Bureau However, as with current regulations, silencer parts sold, shipped, or otherwise disposed of separately would still be considered silencers that require all markings prior to disposition except when transferred between qualified manufacturers for the production of new devices, and to qualified manufacturers and dealers for the repair of existing devices (see Section II.H.9 of the preamble). [25], With the proliferation of PMFs, ATF has also received numerous requests from licensees seeking clarity on how they may be accepted and recorded so that they can track their inventories, process warranty claims, reconcile any missing inventory, respond to trace requests, and report lost or stolen PMFs to police and insurance companies. 66. 8. See 18 U.S.C. More specifically, none of the internal nonstructural parts of a complete muffler or silencer device would need to be marked so long as each frame or receiver as defined in this rule is marked. The proposed rule would further codify ATF's policy not to evaluate a firearm accessory or attachment unless it is installed on the firearm(s) in the configuration for which it is designed and intended to be used, and would further explain that [a] determination made by the Director under this paragraph shall not be deemed by any person to be applicable to or authoritative with respect to any other sample, design, model, or configuration.. The Director may authorize other means of identification or period of time to identify firearms upon receipt of a letter application or Form 3311.4 from you showing that such other identification or period is reasonable and will not hinder the effective administration of this part. Basically, according to the definition set forth by the ATF it is not a pistol, not a rifle and not under the jurisdiction of the NFA therefore it classifies as an "other firearm." Non-FFL manufacturers are anticipated to be small and would potentially have a significant impact on their individual revenue. The depth of all markings required by this section is measured from the flat surface of the metal and not the peaks or ridges. Unlike the prior definitions of frame or receiver that were rigidly tied to three specific fire control components (i.e., those necessary for the firearm to initiate or complete the firing sequence), the new regulatory definition is intended to be general enough to encompass changes in technology and parts terminology. The rule, which President Joe Biden requested as part of . The term frame or receiver shall include, in the case of a frame or receiver that is partially complete, disassembled, or inoperable, a frame or receiver that has reached a stage in manufacture where it may readily be completed, assembled, converted, or restored to a functional state. , Mocoshow.com (April 6, 2021), https://mocoshow.com/blog/county-council-unanimously-approves-ghost-gun-bill/?fbclid=IwAR1KCyFal3AId31WKCTLanR-uEUj_-dW_T32lND5gfKmle_-nvIbZyT052. section 609.667; Mo. In 479.141, remove the word manufacturer and add in its place manufacturer(s) and remove the words serial number and add in their place serial number(s). For complete information about, and access to, our official publications [73] For purposes of this definition, the term fire control component means a component necessary for the firearm to initiate, complete, or continue the firing sequence, including any of the following: Hammer, bolt, bolt carrier, breechblock, cylinder, trigger mechanism, firing pin, striker, or slide rails. This rule defines the term complete muffler or silencer device not to say that individual silencer parts are not considered a firearm muffler or silencer subject to the requirements of the NFA, but to advise industry members when those individual silencer parts must be marked and registered in the NFRTR when they are used in assembling or fabricating a muffler or silencer device. at 7805(a). section 29-36a(a) (prohibiting manufacture of firearms without permanently affixing serial numbers issued by the State); DC Code section 7-2504.08(a) (prohibiting licensees from selling firearms without serial numbers); Haw. section 943.37(3).

This section addresses non-FFL manufacturers who manufacture partially complete, disassembled, or inoperable frame or receiver kits, to include both firearm parts kits that allow a person to make only a frame or receiver, and those kits that allow a person to make a complete weapon. From the ATF's website, the proposed changes would: Provide new definitions of "firearm frame or receiver" and "frame or receiver, amend the definition of: "firearm" to clarify when a firearm parts kit is considered a "firearm," and "gunsmith" to clarify the meaning of that term and to explain that gunsmiths may be licensed . The Internal Revenue Code of 1954, 26 U.S.C. Using the information obtained from those required records, ATF then contacts each licensed dealer or other licensee who recorded their receipt and disposition to locate the first unlicensed purchaser to help find the perpetrator or otherwise solve the crime. Each request would be submitted in writing or on an ATF form executed under the penalties of perjury with a complete and accurate description of the item, the name and address of the manufacturer or importer thereof, and a sample of such item for examination along with any instructions, guides, templates, jigs, equipment, tools, or marketing materials that are made available to the purchaser or recipient of the item. The records prepared by licensed dealers and licensed collectors of the sale or other disposition of firearms and the corresponding record of receipt of such firearms shall be retained until business or licensed activity is discontinued, either on paper, or in an electronic alternative method approved by the Director, at the business or collection premises readily accessible for inspection under this part. [28] For purposes of this definition, the term partially complete, as it modifies frame or receiver, means a forging, casting, printing, extrusion, machined body or similar article that has reached a stage in manufacture where it is clearly identifiable as an unfinished component part of a weapon. documents in the last year. 923(g)(5)(A), licensed dealers along the Southwest border are also required by demand letter to report to ATF multiple sales of certain rifles during five consecutive business days to the same person on ATF Form 3310.12, including the rifle's serial number, manufacturer, importer, model, and caliber. Rul. Firearm Frame or Receiver (vi) Privately made firearms acquired before [EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE FINAL RULE]. This table of contents is a navigational tool, processed from the 15. From January 1, 2016, through March 4, 2021, ATF could only complete traces of suspected PMFs recovered by law enforcement to an individual purchaser in approximately 151 out of 23,946 attempts, generally by tracing a serial number engraved on a handgun slide, barrel, or other firearm part not currently defined as a frame or receiver, but recorded by licensees in the absence of other markings. 462, 466-67 (1958) (strict geographical application of the term United States in 26 U.S.C. Commonly referred to as ghost guns, these privately made firearms (PMFs), when made for personal use, are not required by the GCA to have a serial number placed on the frame or receiver, making it difficult for law enforcement to determine where, by whom, or when they were manufactured, and to whom they were sold or otherwise disposed. This may result in no part of a firearm being regulated as a frame or receiver contrary to the requirements in the GCA that ensure tracing to solve crime and help prevent prohibited persons from coming into possession of weapons. However, to reduce costs incurred by licensees, ATF anticipates that it would exercise its discretion not to enforce these format changes to the AD Record until an existing paper record book is completed (i.e., closed out) or electronic record version updated in the normal course of business, provided the information is accurately recorded as required in the existing record. Tenn. Oct. 19, 2012) (serial number obliterated on the visible exterior of a revolver); State v. Shirley, No. Under this rule, licensed collectors would only need to mark PMFs they receive or otherwise acquire that are defined as curios or relics. See 27 CFR 478.11 (definitions of firearm and curios or relics). 71. Although under 478.11 and 479.11 singular terms in the regulations must always be read to include the plural form, and vice versa, these changes are necessary to ensure that more than one name, manufacturer, country, importer, or serial number, if appropriate, is recorded when completing importation forms. Specifically, this proposed rule would amend the definition of engaged in the business as it applies to a gunsmith in 27 CFR 478.11 to clarify the meaning of that term as someone who, as a service performed on existing firearms not for sale or distribution by a licensee, devotes time, attention, and labor to repairing or customizing firearms, making or fitting special barrels, stocks, or trigger mechanisms to firearms, or identifying firearms in accordance with this chapter, as a regular course of trade or business with the principal objective of livelihood or profit, but such term shall not include a person who occasionally repairs or customizes firearms, or occasionally makes or fits special barrels, stocks, or trigger mechanisms to firearms.. The column titled Name and address or name and license No. would be retitled as Name and address of nonlicensee; or if licensee, name and License No. In addition, the column titled Address or License No. The authority citation for 27 CFR part 479 continues to read as follows: Authority: For the purposes of the National Firearms Act, the term "Any Other Weapon" means: Any weapon or device capable of being concealed on the person from which a shot can be discharged through the energy of an explosive; A pistol or revolver having a barrel with a smooth bore designed or redesigned to fire a fixed shotgun shell; The agency announced plans to publish the final version of their rule reclassifying pistol braces, a popular firearm accessory, on Friday. Licensed manufacturers and licensed importers may continue to identify firearms of the same design and configuration as they existed before [EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE FINAL RULE] with the information required to be marked by paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this section that were in effect prior to that date, and any rules necessary to ensure such identification shall remain effective for that purpose. The proposed changes to 478.125 would also include a minor amendment to paragraph (f) to make it clear that in the event the licensee records a duplicate entry with the same firearm and acquisition information, whether to close out an old record book or for any other reason, the licensee must record a reference to the date and location of the subsequent entry (e.g., date of new entry, book name/number, page number, and line number) as the disposition. is not designed or redesigned for using rimfire or conventional centerfire . documents in the last year, 117 This proposed rule will not have substantial direct effects on the States, the relationship between the Federal Government and the States, or the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. This amendment would make clear that businesses that routinely repair or customize existing firearms, make or fit special barrels, stocks, or trigger mechanisms, or mark firearms as a service performed on firearms not for sale or distribution by a licensee, may be licensed as dealer-gunsmiths rather than as manufacturers.

Although under 478.11 and 479.11 singular terms in the regulations must always be read to include the plural form, and vice versa, these changes are necessary to ensure that Federal firearms licensees record more than one manufacturer, importer, or serial number, if appropriate, when acquiring or disposing of firearms with multiple components marked as the frame or receiver, or that have been remanufactured or reimported by another licensee.

On Friday, January 13, the Biden administration's DOJ and ATF enacted perhaps the most anti-gun rule in a generation. Should the current definition remain in place and courts continue to interpret it such that no part or parts of most firearms are defined as the frame or receiver, these unserialized parts, easily purchased and assembled to create functioning firearms, would be untraceable, thereby putting the public at risk. The NFA is a national registry [] For many years, ATF has acted on voluntarily requests from persons, particularly manufacturers who are developing new products, by issuing determinations or classifications whether an item is a firearm or armor piercing ammunition as defined in the GCA or NFA. ATF received a petition for rulemaking from Everytown for Gun Safety, a non-profit organization, proposing to define firearm frame or receiver in 27 CFR 478.11.

Finally, the definition would make clear to persons who may acquire or possess a part now defined as a frame or receiver that is identified with a serial number that they must presume, absent an official determination by ATF or other reliable evidence to the contrary, that the part is a firearm frame or receiver without further guidance. Therefore, in accordance with section 6 of Executive Order 13132 (Federalism), the Attorney General has determined that this proposed rule does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a federalism summary impact statement. Further, marks help prove in certain criminal prosecutions that firearms used in a crime have travelled in interstate or foreign commerce.).

Licensed manufacturers must identify a complete weapon or complete muffler or silencer device no later than seven days following the date of completion of the active manufacturing process for the weapon or device, or prior to disposition, whichever is sooner. Handguns that are 3D printed are also subject to the registration and taxation requirements of the NFA if they have a smooth bore and are capable of being concealed on the person, thereby falling within the definition of any other weapon.
