Yet another interesting read from our ATF buddies...

Make sure you did not eat anything before reading the ATF's latest infringement attempt on our rights:

That 'multiple piece frame or receiver' think makes me wonder if they will start wanting 4473's for uppers as well as lowers now.. as well as serialized uppers.... hmm...

This is an oldy but a goodie. Perhaps a firm "no" from our collective states will be enough. I'm praying that it is.

I saw something the other day about govt trying to ban all 80% kits or whatever they are called.

As I read it this is exactly one of the outcomes.....

This looks like it will require serialized ruger mark pistol grip frames, and retro stamping of such grip frames. Further, it creates a conundrum that didn't previously exist.....this notion that somehow a semi automatic pistol grip frame isn't required to be serialized. On weapons of such design, they have always been marked on the grip frame, to my knowledge, which means that we are looking at unnecessary complexity and intervetion by atf.....by design!

I don't see how there be any way to enforce retro stamping. Remember back when some guns didn't even need serial numbers.. then it changed I didn't see a big push to go serialize stuff retro then I don't know how they would do it now when there's two hundred more times as many guns in circulation

And its not over yet. Just a starter kit for the feds.
