Under the new rule, the definition of a firearm would change to include unfinished parts, like the frame of a handgun or the receiver of a long gun. The rule also would require those parts to be licensed and include serial numbers.
The Biden administration is unveiling a completed rule aimed at reining in the proliferation of “ghost” guns, firearms without serial numbers that have been turning up at crime scenes across the nation in increasing numbers.and requiring dealers to stamp serial numbers on ghost guns will help drive down violent crime and aid investigators in solving crimes. Gun groups, however, argue that the government is overreaching and that its rule violates federal law.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has, for years, said that unfinished lower receivers don’t meet the legal definition of a firearm. And there is nothing illegal about building your own firearm. The requirement applies regardless of how the firearm was made, meaning it includes ghost guns made from individual parts, kits, or by 3-D printers.
