    New ATF rules and regs and clarifications

    I'm going to have to have someone smarter than me explain what it all means. https://www.atf.gov/rules-and-regula...new-era-reform

    Here are some of them:

    1) Repeal Biden's pistol brace rule
    2) Revising "engaged in the business" rule
    3) Revising machine gun definition in response to Cargill decision
    4) Remove requirement for FFLs to post info about Youth Handgun Safety Act
    5) Revising 4473 form, including allowing electronic forms and increase the time NICS checks remain valid
    6) Allow FFLs to keep electronic records
    7) Replace indefinite retention of 4473s with definite time periods of 20 or 30 years
    8) Allow “Non-Over-the-Counter” firearm sales by FFLs to residents of the same state
    9) Repeal interstate NFA transport notice requirement for trips under 365 days, with all others no longer requiring approval before transport
    10) Joint NFA registration for married couples
    11) Remove NFA CLEO notification
    12) Clarify that "common, reasonably necessary activities during travel" are covered by FOPA transportation protection
    13) Allow import of dual-use frames, receivers, and barrels
    14) Clarify that "training rounds" are not ammunition
    15) Eliminate engraving requirement for people making NFA firearms out of existing serialized guns
    16) "Clarify that a person receiving assistance in only one functional area (such as financial management) would not, on that basis alone, be considered prohibited" under mental health disqualifier
    17) Requiring biological sex on ATF Forms
    18) Clarify when a transaction is a straw purchase
    19) Formally define "willfully" for firearms violations
    20) "Remove the list of former Soviet countries from which ATF currently denies applications to permanently import most firearms and ammunition, retaining only the Russian Federation"

    I think 20 means we are going to get cheap Combloc weapons and ammo again? Maybe?

      Nothing will be as cheap as it was again, they tried the higher prices and they will stay.
      Sometimes I wish I had a Harry Potter's wand and make people go up into smoke.

        Most of these rules are meaningless to about 95% of gun owners. For that 5% these are big. It’s also one of the few times I’ve seen a step back from gun control.

        I’ll take a win anywhere I can get one.

              The joint NFA for spouses is big. I always wondered what happens to NFA weapons if one croaks(not that I own any). I guess the spouse can retain and reregister?
