The Justice Department, within 60 days, will publish model “red flag” legislation for states.

The Justice Department, within 60 days, will issue a proposed rule to make clear when a device marketed as a stabilizing brace effectively turns a pistol into a short-barreled rifle subject to the requirements of the National Firearms Act.

The Justice Department, within 30 days, will issue a proposed rule to help stop the proliferation of “ghost guns.”

Not just ghost guns. AR pistols with stabilizer braces and red flag laws.

I need to get some tools together and find a slab of aluminum. Time for a zero percent lower.

Also, if he does this, I'm putting a full fledged rifle stock in place of the brace on my backpack gun and will probably make whatever suppressor I want too. If a stroke of a pen makes me a felon, I'm going all out. I will not comply with any more gun laws. Enough is enough.

Why not just Form 1 your backpack gun and a silencer build like TAM and AndyC have done. $400 for two stamps worth avoiding (an unlikely, but possible) felony charge.

Well here it is. Get the ATF arguing again about arm braces (SBR or pistol). And "a proposed rule to stop the proliferation of 'ghost guns'. Presumably some definition in between a 80% lower and a hunk of bar stock. Then a "model state law" recommendation for 'red flag' law, that 40 odd states can ignore.

I can just see this. Anyone who wants to buy any blocks of metal or any home milling equipment must pass a background check. That will really help kick start our economy, wouldn't it?

I was reading this on another site and I believe other than as you suggest other defining even 'less finished' hunks of metal, say 75%, as firearms, there could be another angle.

Currently you can build a gun for yourself out of any parts that are not considered a gun without undergoing a NICS check (as long as you are not a prohibited person). Later you can give that gun to someone else or sell it in a private intrastate transaction. If you are, however, a FFL manufacturer in the "business" of making guns, you must serialize the gun, pay the excise tax for making it, and transfer IAW FFL rules. What I could see is trying to define anyone having made a gun and EVENTUALLY SELLING/TRADING/TRANSFERRING as a transaction requiring involvement of a FFL.
