Gottlieb. \u201cIf their effort succeeds, it would violate rights protected by the Second Amendment by imposing restrictions on otherwise lawful Second Amendment activity excluded from the GCA.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consistent with congressional intent under the GCA, ATF long ago determined that unfinished frame and receiver blanks without any machine work or indexing have not yet reached a stage of manufacture in which they are classified as firearm frames or receivers under the GCA. Various special interests are now challenging ATF\u2019s interpretation in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The case is known as <em>City of Syracuse, NY et al v. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives et al.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lawsuit was filed last year by the Cities of Syracuse, N.Y., San Jose, Calif., Chicago, Ill., and Columbia, S.C. along with the billionaire-backed Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund and Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund. In addition to ATF as an agency, defendants include Acting ATF director Regina Lombardo in her official capacity, plus the Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney General.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/sig-completes-final-delivery-of-next-generation-squad-weapon-system-to-u-s-army\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"saf-files-amicus-opposing-forced-atf-adoption-of-extreme-gun-definition\" title=\"SAF Files Amicus Opposing Forced ATF Adoption of Extreme Gun Definition\">SIG Completes Final Delivery of Next Generation Squad Weapon System to U.S. Army<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At issue are such things as frame blanks or partially-manufactured frames for firearms, also commonly known as \u201c80% frames\u201d or \u201cunfinished receivers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The issues in this case can have unprecedented ramifications on the rights of SAF members.&nbsp; SAF\u2019s intimate knowledge of the ATF interpretations at issue, the Second Amendment implications of the interpretations, and SAF\u2019s quantitative assessment of the administrative record will provide a unique perspective and helpful insight to the Court in resolving these issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBuilding your own firearms is a long-standing tradition in this country, from the earliest days of the Republic to the present day,\u201d Gottlieb explained. \u201cThere are adequate existing laws and regulations covering this time-honored activity, which the gun prohibition lobby and its allies in municipal governments around the country now wish to restrict, if not entirely destroy. We simply cannot stand by and allow this to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SAF\u2019s brief was prepared by attorneys Matthew A.
