The Department Of Justice is expected to release its ruling on “Ghost Guns” as soon as this Friday, May 7th.
After its proposal, the ruling will go into a 30 to 60 day period of public review.
From Fox News:
Ghost guns are not subject to serial numbers or background checks because they are assembled from kits that include one unfinished piece, typically the receiver.
The Justice Department has also been given 60 days to issue a separate rule on stabilizing braces, which can turn a pistol into a more accurate weapon that fires like a rifle. Sixty days will also be provided for the DOJ to develop model “red flag” legislation that would allow friends and family members to identify an individual as a potential danger, thereby temporarily preventing the person from accessing a firearm.
Biden has called on Congress to ban “assault weapons” and also called on the Senate to pass two House bills, one that closed loopholes on background checks, including the Charleston loophole, and one that expanded background checks to include gun sales on the internet and at gun shows.
Still, the president has said he will “not wait” for Congress to take action on gun control. Biden has also said his administration is taking steps to invest in community violence intervention and has called on the DOJ to issue a firearms trafficking report.
“Ghost Guns” have been a high-priority target for gun grabbers in recent years. The definition of “Ghost Guns” is often broad and used to refer to all homemade firearms.
Previous attempts at legislating and regulating “Ghost Guns” have been met with ridicule as proponents are suggesting that a firearm without a serial number is inherently more dangerous than firearms that do have a serial number.
