On 11 April 2022, the Biden administration released the final version of a proposed rule which changes the definition of what is a firearm. The rule was signed by Attorney General Merrick Garland on April 10th. The final rule published in the Federal Register will be the definitive copy.
In the last days of the Johnson administration, in 1968, President Johnson managed to push through an unpopular, ineffective, and costly bill: the Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA 1968). Johnson’s legendary ability to twist arms and manage votes, supported by an all-out onslaught in the media, used the assassination of Robert Kennedy as the crisis needed to pass the bill.
President Johnson was disappointed the bill did not include national registration of all guns and a national carry permit system. From presidency.uscb, quoting Johnson in his public remarks on GCA 1968:
Congress adopted most of our recommendations. But this bill–as big as this bill is–still falls short, because we just could not get the Congress to carry out the requests we made of them. I asked for the national registration of all guns and the licensing of those who carry those guns. For the fact of life is that there are over 160 million guns in this country–more firearms than families. If guns are to be kept out of the hands of the criminal, out of the hands of the insane, and out of the hands of the irresponsible, then we just must have licensing. If the criminal with a gun is to be tracked down quickly, then we must have registration in this country.
In the late 1960s, it was thought gun registration and licensing would reduce violent crime. The definitive studies of English gun control failure

Move or fight. There should be zero weapons laws. The ATF needs to be shuttered. It is that simple.
“PA voted to join them this year, with a considerable margin, on a partisan, party line vote. Then your Democrat governor vetoed the bill. I expect them to go Constitutional Carry when they get a Republican governor.
I didn’t know that! I just don’t keep up with what Harrisburg is doing, anymore. I hope the next Gov — if we can get a Conservative in — will go ahead and sign a bill for CC.
Hi.
American citizens have always made their own firearms. Sheesh.
Imho, the federal government has violated/disolved/abrogated the contract between the Constitution and the people.
The federal bureaucracy from the Executive branch down to minions in the Deep State, act like tyrants, terrorists and tax collectors.
Methinks another Declaration of Independence is necessary.

Incorrect. If the receiver is going to be part of a short barreled rifle (SBR), it must have an ATF tax stamp to be assembled with the upper under 16" and that upper must match the spec of the authorized Form 1 parameters. As submitted, my Form 1 called out 30 caliber, 10.5" barrel on the lower. Specifically 300BLK.
ATF is very specific that applications for a "full auto" Form 1 or Form 4 will not be approved for new (post 1986) firearms. Pre-1986 full auto sold by a Class 3 FFL can be approved. There is lots of junk with high price tags that meets the "full auto" definition. Unless you just want to collect them, be very discerning in acquisitions.
You’re still talking about NFA firearm. That was not clear to me from your post.
For those NOT making NFA firearm, Form 1 would not apply.
Thank you for your two posts.
Great information.
Do you really think having a federal National Carry “permit” will end up giving you more rights? All it would do would be to take the Sates out of the equation and give the Feds the total control they want to disarm everyone.
Unless you want to wind up like Australia, FIGHT THIS BASTARD all the way
