    H.R. 7115, New Attempt to Ban Building AR-15s and Lower Parts Kits


    Rep Frank Pallone Jr (D-NJ) has introduced House bill H.R. 7115 which is also known as the “3D Firearms Prohibitions Act” into the US House of Representatives. Contrary to the bills name it does more than just ban 3D printed firearms.

    It could outlaw the purchase of parts to repair a firearm.

    H.R. 7115 reads: “To prohibit 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.”

    Will never come up in the Senate
    At least I hope that they change some of the language. This could conceivably ban replacement parts like a trigger group or a new firing pin and maybe just simple screws. Since it covers also advertising maybe even instructions on how to make or repair guns.
    The language is exceedingly board. They are trying to block programs that allow 3-D guns to be made.
    and the marketing or advertising of such castings or blanks and kits on any medium of electronic communications,

    Nothing will every block the ability to make 3-D guns IMO. Once the technology was created there really is no way for them to stop. They can make it illegal but I don't see that stopping anyone that wants to from making one.

    It is NOT illegal to manufacture a firearm. You don't even need a license. Period.

    The exceptions enter when you are discussing NFA/GCA items or if you're going to sell that homemade gun.

    If you want to make a gun and keep it, the government has ZERO input/restriction. Currently. As it damn well should be.

    This is another knee-jerk leftist "solution" to a non-existent problem. Egregious over-reach, and I hope it never makes it far enough to waste any legislative resources.

    What a crock of feces...

    HR7115. Bans 80% lowers, gun parts online sales, requires that all firearms made by private individuals since 1968 be taken to an FFL and have a serial number assigned to them for a fee and more

    It's time once again. Call and email your Representatives and Senators! Get ready for more. This is simply the first of many threats.

    Elections actually do have consequences. With the Democratic sweep of the house, they wasted no time in proposing Draconian anti-second Amendment legislation.

    It was introduced by Frank Pallone Jr. Sponsor. Representative for New Jersey's 6th congressional district. Democrat. No surprise there.

    A lot of my clients and friends tell me that we don't have anything to worry about because we hold the Senate and President Trump sits in the White House.

    I constantly have to remind them that it doesn't take too many turncoat Republicans to flip and pass a bill like this and put it on the president's desk. We should all remember that President Trump supported the 1994 and later the 2004 assault weapons ban and Democratic gun control not so many years ago.

    I have been listening to people in the gun community tell me for years not to worry because the Democrats and Anti-2A groups are not "coming for your guns". These statements and beliefs are factualky i correct because the Democrats and the anti-second amendment groups have come out and plainly said that their goal is the confiscation of all civilian owned firearms.

    Take the time to actually read this proposed bill. It is far reaching. It would basically gut the entire firearms industry. Most people are very tempted to say that it's not as bad as we are making it out. That it doesn't really ban all that stuff. Well let's look at what this bill actually does.

    This bill bans, either directly or by implication the following:
    1. Machine gun parts kit
    2. Assault weapons parts kit
    3. The marketing or advertising of such castings or blanks and kits on any medium of electronic communications,
    4. Prohibition of advertising do-it-yourself assault weapons.
    5. Requires homemade firearms made after 1968 to have serial numbers,
    Other items banned due to the briad definitions in this bill:
    A. Triggers, hammers,
    B. bolt carriers,
    C. springs,
    D. stocks,
    E. bolts,
    F. barrels,
    G. rails
    H. Muzzle brakes and flash hiders
    I. Magazines
    J. 80% lowers and frames
    K. 3D printed firearms and parts

    "the term assault weapon parts kit means any part or combination of parts designed and intended to enable a consumer who possesses all such necessary parts to assemble a semiautomatic assault weapon;

    "the term machinegun parts kitmeans any part or combination of parts designed and intended to enable a consumer who possesses all such necessary parts to assemble a machinegun or convert a firearm into a machinegun;"

    Read and ponder the two definitions above. Let that sink in. Then try and convince yourself that everything, every part, that goes into building a semi-automatic rifle pistol or shotgun would not be affected by this bill.

    The ban on Advertising through any media will be enforced by the Enforcement by the Federal Trade Commission. So the Liberals are bringing in yet another Federal agency to regulate Firearms. Think about the mess that the batfe has made of firearms regulation.

    If a firearm was made at home after 1968, it will have to be taken to a local FFL and given a serial number. Think about that. Everyone who has Hilton 80% lower, or made something from scratch, will have to go pay an FFL to register that and give it a serial number.

    Democrats continue to push the “assault weapon” narrative. The Modern Semi-automatic sporting rifle and other semi automatic firearms are not assault weapons.

    The use of the term Assault weapon" Is a simple, yet powerful emotional plea. It's effective in deceiving people. Remember, we have let the Democrats take over the language of the Second Amendment and they use their own words to scare moderates into thinking that guns are bad. That is why we NEVER, as gun owners and second amendment supporters, use the word assault weapon unless we're talking about a true machine gun.

    Once again, the anti 2a Democrats are testing the waters and testing our resolve as gun owners and 2nd Amendment supporters.

    They want to see if our Resistance to anti-second Amendment legislation has wavered after all these years.

    Make sure that you call your congressman and your rivers and let them know that we are aware of what the Democrats are trying to do and that we oppose it and will remember their choices at the next election cycle.

    The title of the bill:

    "To prohibit 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."

    I disagree. It will come up in the Senate if it passes the house. The Senate operates under very different rules from the house and any Senator can introduce legislation and get it up for a vote. In that case, if 3 rhinos side with the Democrats the bill goes to President Trump's desk. Do you seriously trust President Trump not to return back to his anti-second Amendment roots?

    Since the AWB Expired, so did the term "Assault Weapon" and its definition. It still does not exist in Federal Gov language. It does exist in the Gun Grabber State Laws. This Bill would resurrect it, simplify what constitutes it:
    1. Any semi-auto rifle or shotgun with a detachable mag.
    2. Any semi-auto pistol with WITH ANY ONE OF: detachable mag outside the grip, threaded barrel, barrel shroud, second grip (NFA?), 50oz or more unloaded or semi-auto version of a automatic firearm.

    Ruger 1022, Rem 742 and KelTec CMR would be AWs. As would all Glock 17 (maybe all Glocks) because of the F/A G18 and every competition handgun with a muzzle device (threaded barrel).

    There more trash in there that can be used to broaden the scope/impact if passed. Whole lot of added shit beyond 3D Printed firearms. Typical gun grabbing politicians.

    Looks like heavy ground work in prep for tougher restrictions, registrations and bans! Remember: they will push for everything but will browbeat resistance for "compromise" which always means We The People always loose.

    Does it not exist in ATF evaluations of imported semi-auto rifles. We still have the made in usa parts count last I heard. So i need to know more.

    Feds use the "sporting use" term on imports and 922R Compliant is the reguirement on number of parts.

    Some States use the term but its definition varies by State/Law, Law Schools also define it as does Wiki and some dictionaries. Term did not exist prior to 1989 and was politically created to expand "assault rifle" and apply it to semiautomatic firearms instead of Mil/LE/NFA full auto/burst machine guns.

    There is no current Federal definition of "assault weapon". Getting it back into Fed terms/definitions is a major goal of the gun grabbers. Its the foot in the door that will provide a anchor point to expand it, restrict and ban semiautomatic firearms by name and or by features/parts.

    H.R.7115: the Democrat-sponsored Universal Gun Ban

    This thread title needs to be changed. The bill is much worse than just AR-15's and lower parts kits.

    The title of the bill is a straight up mis-direction tactic. The bill is a thinly-veiled attempt at Massive gun-control.

    https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/7115/text

    This is similar to the proposed 2020 Florida constitution amendment, but it's much worse. It would be Federal, and it is FAR-reaching due to its broad definitions (thanks again to the evil lawyers in politics).

    Once again, there SHOULD be NO negotions, and it SHOULD be defeated COMPLETELY, but our faith in our elected representatives is constantly shaken.

    Write them. Call them. Be polite, but be firm. This constant attack on the inalienable rights of the American People is unacceptable, insulting, and Treasonous.

    Anyone got a line on any super cheap lower parts kits? Rock river has them for $49 with a single stage trigger. Their two stage match trigger is $100 on sale right now.

    Nope, he won't.

    Why?

    His sons & grandsons participate in 3-gun events...
    and they're quite good at them :)
    He ain't gonna jack up their fun!
    And since they've taken him to see their events,
    and shot with him, he's come a long way towards
    being mostly Pro-Gun. He's got a CC Permit.
    And he KNOWS the NRA/NGOA are on his side...
    he ain't gonna Clinton it & totally loose both houses of congress.

    From the opening paragraphof H.R.7115 and what the intent is: ... and for other purposes. "

    Those other purposes are gun control and gun bans as outlined in the Bill and as a foundation document to attach future Firearms restrictions, registrations bans and confiscations.
