The California AG is looking to outlaw 80-percent receivers and frames. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The California attorney general filed a lawsuit in federal court this week to force the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) to categorize 80-percent receivers and frames as firearms under the Gun Control Act of 1968.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

California AG Xavier Becerra filed the suit<\/a> in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. He was joined by the anti-gun group Giffords Law Center and two fathers of students killed in the 2019 shooting at Saugus High School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are suing the ATF over its interpretation what qualifies as a firearm,\u201d Becerra said<\/a> on a call with reporters Tuesday. \u201cATF allows these guns to go unchecked despite having the authority under the Gun Control Act to regulate them.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becerra wants the ATF to re-categorize 80-percent lower receivers or \u201cghost guns\u201d as full firearms, which would subject their purchase to the same background check and serialization requirements as other firearms. He\u2019s asking for a court order nullifying the ATF\u2019s classification of an unfinished rifle or pistol frame as not a firearm, and a finding that its guidance on 80% receivers and frames is \u201carbitrary and capricious.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right now, 80-percent receivers are not considered firearms by the ATF because users must drill out portions of the receiver before they can be used. The ATF has determined repeatedly<\/a> that these products do not count as firearms under the Gun Control Act of 1968, and that they are not required to have serial numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becerra wants to force the ATF to change its ruling, citing the supposed proliferation of \u201cghost guns\u201d being used in homicides and mass shootings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGhost guns are quickly becoming the weapon of choice for illegal gun traffickers and those\u2014like organized criminal gangs and mass murderers\u2014who seek to bear arms not for lawful means, but rather to engage in criminal activity and acts of violence,\u201d the suit states. \u201cAnd most sellers have done little to dissuade prohibited people from buying ghost guns and have even actively encouraged such sales, leaving their customers and the public\u2014not the sellers\u2014to bear the consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much of Becerra\u2019s case rests on the idea that \u201cghost guns\u201d can be assembled in minutes and are therefore firearms because they can \u201creadily\u201d be converted to firearms, per the Gun Control Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you can assemble Ikea furniture you can probably assemble a ghost gun. And you can probably do it faster,\u201d said Hannah Shearer, litigation director for the Giffords Law Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This temporal test was rejected by the ATF around 2006 in favor of a \u201csolidity test.\u201d Eighty-percent lowers and frames are not firearms, the ATF decided, because the fire control area is completely solid or unmachined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becerra\u2019s case is extremely similar to another lawsuit filed by Everytown for Gun Safety in August <\/a>of this year. Everytown makes an identical argument to Becerra\u2019s and urges the court to force the ATF to revise its categorization of 80-percent lower receivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
