And we'll regulate them to save lives.Last year, President Joe Biden and I announced that I had directed the federal agency responsible for regulating firearms, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, to modernize our regulations to reflect the fact that today's firearms need not be cast or forged but can be created from kits and by 3D printers. The Department of Justice committed to take action to prevent criminals and other prohibited people from easily purchasing untraceable guns.
This morning, the department is submitting a final rule that will help keep guns out of the hands of criminals and save lives

Really, they just want to outlaw the private unregulated manufacture of guns.

They don't want to get rid of guns, they want to get rid of

So, if I was to go out and buy an 80% lower and make it into a gun, When this new laws goes into effect, can I keep it? Would I have to register it and put a serial number on it? Just to stay legal?

As I understand stand it, you would have to buy the 80 percent through an ffl which means there probably won’t be 80 %s anymore.

It is not a law, it is the “application” of the law. Administrative interpretation as it were. Congress did not pass anything.

At some point they'll have to say steel is a gun.
