    3D printed guns and ghost guns are two separate things aren't they?
    A ghost gun is just an un-serialized gun. If you make it with an 80% lower kit (or a 0% chunk of billet aluminum for that matter), or 3d print one, they are all considered ghost guns.
    3D printing one with a standard FDM printer wouldn't be for long-term use, but you could probably get at least a few magazines through it.

    FACT SHEET: Biden-Harris Administration Announces Initial Actions to Address the Gun Violence Public Health Epidemic | The White House


    Today, the Biden-Harris Administration is announcing six initial actions to address the gun violence public health epidemic. The recent high-profile mass shootings in Boulder – taking the lives of 10 individuals – and Atlanta – taking the lives of eight individuals, including six Asian American women – underscored the relentlessness of this epidemic. Gun violence takes lives and leaves a lasting legacy of trauma in communities every single day in this country, even when it is not on the nightly news. In fact, cities across the country are in the midst of a historic spike in homicides, violence that disproportionately impacts Black and brown Americans. The President is committed to taking action to reduce all forms of gun violence – community violence, mass shootings, domestic violence, and suicide by firearm.

    President Biden is reiterating his call for Congress to pass legislation to reduce gun violence. Last month, a bipartisan coalition in the House passed two bills to close loopholes in the gun background check system. Congress should close those loopholes and go further, including by closing “boyfriend” and stalking loopholes that currently allow people found by the courts to be abusers to possess firearms, banning assault weapons and high capacity magazines, repealing gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability, and investing in evidence-based community violence interventions. Congress should also pass an appropriate national “red flag” law, as well as legislation incentivizing states to pass “red flag” laws of their own.

    But this Administration will not wait for Congress to act to take its own steps – fully within the Administration’s authority and the Second Amendment – to save lives. Today, the Administration is announcing the following six initial actions:

    The Justice Department, within 30 days, will issue a proposed rule to help stop the proliferation of “ghost guns.” We are experiencing a growing problem: criminals are buying kits containing nearly all of the components and directions for finishing a firearm within as little as 30 minutes and using these firearms to commit crimes. When these firearms turn up at crime scenes, they often cannot be traced by law enforcement due to the lack of a serial number. The Justice Department will issue a proposed rule to help stop the proliferation of these firearms.

    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 alleged shooter in the Boulder tragedy last month appears to have used a pistol with an arm brace, which can make a firearm more stable and accurate while still being concealable.

    The Justice Department, within 60 days, will publish model “red flag” legislation for states. Red flag laws allow family members or law enforcement to petition for a court order temporarily barring people in crisis from accessing firearms if they present a danger to themselves or others. The President urges Congress to pass an appropriate national “red flag” law, as well as legislation incentivizing states to pass “red flag” laws of their own. In the interim, the Justice Department’s published model legislation will make it easier for states that want to adopt red flag laws to do so.

    The Administration is investing in evidence-based community violence interventions. Community violence interventions are proven strategies for reducing gun violence in urban communities through tools other than incarceration. Because cities across the country are experiencing a historic spike in homicides, the Biden-Harris Administration is taking a number of steps to prioritize investment in community violence interventions.

    • The American Jobs Plan proposes a $5 billion investment over eight years to support community violence intervention programs. A key part of community violence intervention strategies is to help connect individuals to job training and job opportunities.
    • The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is organizing a webinar and toolkit to educate states on how they can use Medicaid to reimburse certain community violence intervention programs, like Hospital-Based Violence Interventions.
    • Five federal agencies are making changes to 26 different programs to direct vital support to community violence intervention programs as quickly as possible. These changes mean we can start increasing investments in community violence interventions as we wait on Congress to appropriate additional funds. Read more about these agency actions here.
    The Justice Department will issue an annual report on firearms trafficking. In 2000, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) issued a report summarizing information regarding its investigations into firearms trafficking, which is one way firearms are diverted into the illegal market where they can easily end up in the hands of dangerous individuals. Since the report’s publication, states, local, and federal policymakers have relied on its data to better thwart the common channels of firearms trafficking. But there is good reason to believe that firearms trafficking channels have changed since 2000, for example due to the emergence of online sales and proliferation of “ghost guns.” The Justice Department will issue a new, comprehensive report on firearms trafficking and annual updates necessary to give policymakers the information they need to help address firearms trafficking today.

    The President will nominate David Chipman to serve as Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. ATF is the key agency enforcing our gun laws, and it needs a confirmed director in order to do the job to the best of its ability. But ATF has not had a confirmed director since 2015. Chipman served at ATF for 25 years and now works to advance commonsense gun safety laws.

    I'd like to see Presidential Executive Orders challenged in court. They overstep the bounds of Liberty. SCOTUS desperately needs to take a stand on the limits of Presidential EOs.
    Well they have been and his gun control ones definetly will.

    This shit will have no impact on anything.

    No Impact?

    When they rule braces stocks and they are now NFA and you have to pay $200, that will have no impact?

    When they rule 80% firearms and you can no longer buy them, that will have no impact on anyone?

    These bills are just like any others. Being passed off as means to deter, or prohibit criminal acts. The lying still continues. They have not one thing to do with crime and like every other gun control law ever passed, or attempted to be passed, had not one thing to do with crime, or criminals having guns.

    So, when did the President magically get the power the create laws without Congress? Because that's what it's going to take to do anything about homemade guns. As for the braces, they have become far too prolific to just ban/reclassify on a whim like that. There will be significant push back.

    they gonna do to 80% and braces what Trump did to Bump Stocks. And GOA is going to sue them again. Hopefully this time the court will issue an injunction immediately

    Any gun owner that would comply with such un-Constitutional laws being proposed, deserves to have his guns confiscated!


    There's a lot of fuds out there with bolt guns & shotguns that could give 2 shits on what happens with evil black guns. They have been feed so much BS on the nightly propaganda machine with people that have no clue what they're talking about when it comes to firearms...let alone modern sporting rifles.

    And IMO, the most dangerous of people owning guns. Because they believe in their bolt guns and shotguns, and would throw the rest of us under the bus in a New York second.

    They are part of the group of people that say, "I support the 2nd Amendment, but......", then would insert any number of stipulations like bump-stocks, or 30 round magazines, suppressors, fully auto firearms, ect.

    And those proposing such restrictive gun laws, know these gun owners would support further restrictive gun laws and are counting on their support to get them pushed through. FUDDS vote as well.

    Since the dimwits have been screaming for many years about magazines holding more than 10 rounds being unnecessary and only used for killing people, I expect them, or obiden, to try to rule that any magazine for any weapon holding more than 10 rounds is a high capacity magazine, turning your handgun into a concealable assault weapon. Especially with the new toady gun-control activist he's nominated to be head of the atf.

    Nothing the Biden Administration would bring forth regarding guns would be of any surprise to me. Harris spoke very passionately of what she wanted if she were elected president. For all intents, she was elected president as soon as Biden is determined unfit to hold office any longer.
