Rep. Frank Pallone, Jr., D-NY, is the lead sponsor on a bill that would outlaw home-built AR-15’s. (Photo: Frank Pallone Facebook<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n

Democrats filed H.R. 7115<\/a> even before they regained control of the U.S. House of Representatives, and now that they hold a solid majority, they\u2019re ready to make their gun control fantasies come true.<\/p>\n

Rep. Frank Pallone, Jr., a Democrat from New Jersey, filed the legislation on November 2, 2018, and it\u2019s being co-sponsored by 13 additional representatives. The bill would \u201cprohibit the sale, acquisition, distribution in commerce, or import into the United States of certain firearm receiver castings or blanks, assault weapon parts kits, and machinegun parts kits and the marketing or advertising of such castings or blanks and kits on any medium of electronic communications, to require homemade firearms to have serial numbers, and for other purposes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Legislators dubbed the bill the \u201c3\u2013D Firearms Prohibitions Act,\u201d though the text doesn\u2019t mention 3-D printed firearms anywhere beyond the title.<\/p>\n

Under H.R. 7115, gun manufacturers would no longer be permitted to sell partially machined receivers for \u201cassault rifles.\u201d Also called \u201c80 percent lowers,\u201d these items do not qualify as \u201cfirearms\u201d under U.S. law and have long been a target of gun-control lobbyists because they allow individuals to create \u201cghost guns,\u201d or firearms without serial numbers.<\/p>\n

For those wanting to manufacture a firearm without using an 80 percent lower, H.R. 7115 also requires all individual firearm makers to request a serial number from the federal government before creating a firearm. The prospective gun maker would contact a federal firearms dealer, who would issue the number using the same process as any other firearms transfer.<\/p>\n

But the bill also targets serialized, do-it-yourself AR-15 kits by outlawing \u201cassault weapons parts kits\u201d and \u201cmachine gun parts kits.\u201d Strangely, it also prohibits companies from advertising 80 percent lowers, AR parts kits, or machine gun parts kits. According to the law,<\/p>\n

(a)\u00a0In General.\u2014It shall be unlawful to market or advertise, on any medium of electronic communications, including over the Internet, for the sale of any of the following:<\/p>\n

(1) A firearm receiver casting or firearm receiver blank or unfinished handgun frame that\u2014<\/p>\n

(A) at the point of sale does not meet the definition of a firearm in section 921(a) of title 18, United States Code; and<\/p>\n

(B) after purchase by a consumer, can be completed by the consumer to the point at which such casting or blank functions as a firearm frame or receiver for a semiautomatic assault weapon or machinegun or the frame of a handgun.<\/p>\n

(2) An assault weapon parts kit.<\/p>\n

(3) A machinegun parts kit.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear why the bill bans the advertising of already prohibited items, but political grandstanding has always trumped logic on the anti-gun priority list.<\/p>\n

For those hoping to get around the law by simply purchasing individual parts rather than a complete kit, the bill has that covered, too. It defines \u201cassault weapon parts kit\u201d as \u201cany part or combination of parts designed and intended to enable a consumer who possesses all such necessary parts to assemble a semiautomatic assault weapon.\u201d<\/p>\n

So much for that loophole.<\/p>\n

Gun owners can also say goodbye to building Ruger 10\/22\u2019s. A \u201csemiautomatic assault weapon\u201d is, according to the bill, \u201ca semiautomatic rifle or semiautomatic shotgun that has the capacity to accept a detachable ammunition feeding device.\u201d Under H.R. 7115, a parts kit for a .22-caliber child’s rifle would be considered just as deadly as a kit for an AR-15.<\/p>\n

With the Democrats in control of the House, passage of H.R. 7115 is more than possible in that chamber. The Senate is a different story, as Republicans expanded their majority, and President Trump has remained a solid supporter of Second Amendment rights, despite some concerns<\/a> early in his presidency.<\/p>\n

Still, Washington is the capital of backroom deals, and it wouldn\u2019t be the first time Republicans concede ground on one issue to get what they want in another arena. H.R. 7115 doesn\u2019t ban \u201cassault weapons,\u201d after all, and who really\u00a0<\/em>cares\u00a0about 80 percent lowers?<\/p>\n

Gun owners can contact their House representative here<\/a> and their Senators here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
