Today’s final rule includes two additional actions to make our communities safer.

First, the final rule ensures that firearms with split receivers are subject to regulations requiring serial numbers and background checks when purchased from a licensed dealer, manufacturer or importer. Decades ago, ATF issued a regulation defining the “frame or receiver” of a firearm as the part that is regulated by the Gun Control Act – meaning that is the part that triggers federal serialization, background check, and other requirements. At that time, many firearms in the United States were single-framed firearms, like revolvers, that house key components in a single structure. However, we have seen the increasing popularity of firearms using split or multi-part receivers that house key components in multiple structures. Some courts have recently interpreted decades-old regulatory text in a way that, if broadly applied, could mean that as many as 90 percent of firearms in the United States today would not have a frame or receiver subject to federal regulation. The final rule updates the regulatory definitions of “frame” and “receiver” to ensure that firearms using split or multi-part receivers continue to be covered by our common-sense gun laws.

Second, the final rule requires federally licensed firearms dealers to retain key records until they shut down their business or licensed activity. At that time, these dealers must transfer the records to ATF, just as they are currently required to do at the end of licensed activity. Previously, these dealers were permitted to destroy most records after 20 years, making it harder for law enforcement to trace firearms found at crime scenes. According to ATF’s National Tracing Center, on average more than 1,300 firearms a year are untraceable because the federally licensed firearms dealer destroyed the relevant records that were more than 20 years old.

F-him and his ATF toadies. They are the scum of the earth.

Says the pOlice right there^^

I love it!

Potato head isn't doing jack chit but run his f*cking mouth.

Of all the solutions I've heard to combat gun violence, so far, no one is talking about heavier prison terms for the criminals. Let's look at the record. On the Clinton background check, the first year 600,000 purchases were denied. 599,994 persons were NOT prosecuted, only 6 were prosecuted. The parents of the Columbine shooting, Connecticut shooting, etc. so far I can't recall any parent prosecuted. I could go on but you get the idea.

Yes again. They are coming for all your guns... sigh...
