Biden is taking action on ghost guns. Some of these issues have been addressed before by the ATF.

The ATF banned "build parties" in which people would by kits such 80% ar-15 lower receivers then go to a machine shop to finish them. The ATF rule required that any machine shop be licensed as a firearm manufacturer prior to allowing the use of their equipment to finish a firearm kit.

Biden's new rule will also update the definition of a firearm. Some guns such as the ar-15 have a split receiver. The receiver is currently defined to be the part that holds the "hammer, bolt or breechblock, and firing mechanism". On an ar-15, the lower receiver, which all US manufacturers only sell to FFL's, contains the firing mechanism and hammer, but not the bolt. So technically, the ar-15 lower receiver is not legally a firearm all by itself even though I've never seen them for sale as a non-firearm.
Federal currently does not require a home built firearm (other than NFA firearms) to have a serial number. But if it is transferred to another person or FFL, it is required to have a serial number engraved.
Biden's order will require serial numbers on all firearms if they are transferred. I'm not sure how this will be different from current regulations.

This final rule bans the business of manufacturing the most accessible ghost guns, such as unserialized “buy build shoot” kits that individuals can buy online or at a store without a background check and can readily assemble into a working firearm in as little as 30 minutes with equipment they have at home. |
