The document urges “first responders” to be on the lookout for privately made firearms. (Photo: ATF Facebook)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Second Amendment Foundation\u2019s Investigative Journalism Project uncovered this week<\/a> an internal document published by the Joint Counterterrorism Assessment Team that links privately made firearms (PMFs) with terrorists, criminals, and violent extremists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCriminals and violent extremists continue to seek ways to acquire firearms through the production of privately made firearms (PMFs),\u201d the document<\/a> warns. \u201cPMF awareness and identification can aid PMF recovery, prevention of illicit activities including terrorism, and overall first responder and public safety.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the document admits that some activities related to privately made firearms are \u201clawful and Constitutionally protected,\u201d first responders should be on the lookout for \u201csuspicious PMF use.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indicators of such use, according to the document, include \u201cassistance on making \u2018undetectable firearms,\u2019\u201d the \u201cpresence of 3D printers or materials,\u201d acquiring \u201ccommercial firearm-related items that are known PMFs,\u201d larger online orders from firearm suppliers, and the \u201cpresence of homemade gun kits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Federal agents, in other words, are being trained to look with suspicion on anyone who owns a 3D printer, purchases firearm parts online, or makes their own firearms at home, a practice that\u2019s been common in the United States since before its founding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a first responder discovers a firearm without a serial number, the document gives this cryptical advice: \u201cFor firearms without a serial number, trace them as a machinegun, which will aid in the accuracy of tracing and also provide intelligence value for investigators.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowhere does the document point out that the majority of PMFs are lawfully manufactured by hobbyists and gun enthusiasts and used exclusively for lawful purposes. The ATF reported<\/a> that law enforcement recovered 10,000 \u201cghost guns\u201d in 2019. Many of these firearms, however, likely had the serial numbers removed rather than were manufactured un-serialized. In addition, one 80-percent receiver dealer told \u201c60 Minutes\u201d<\/a> that millions of \u201cbuild-it-yourself\u201d gun kits have been sold in the last 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is just the latest example of a nationwide, coordinated campaign to vilify Americans who build their own firearms. Multiple Democratic states and cities have launched lawsuits<\/a> against companies that sell build-it-yourself firearm kits, and last year the ATF raided the headquarters<\/a> of Polymer80, one of the country\u2019s largest kit sellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, President Joe Biden tasked the ATF with re-writing federal firearm law to outlaw 80-percent receivers, also called \u201cghost guns.\u201d The agency had for years told gun owners that 80-percent receivers did not constitute \u201cfirearms,\u201d but it hopes to reverse course and re-define firearms in its new proposed rule<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The document uncovered by the Second Amendment Foundation appears to be one in a series of unclassified but internal documents called \u201cFirst Responder Toolbox<\/a>.\u201d Published by the National Counterterrorism Center, many of these documents are publicly available and purport to \u201cpromote counterterrorism coordination\u201d among law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
