Breitbart: On March 31, 2025, the San Francisco Chronicle sounded the alarm for the gun control lobby, warning that Biden’s “ghost gun” restrictions are “likely to be undone by President Donald Trump.”
The restrictions are contained in ATF Final Rule 2021-05F. A central part of this rule was redefining what the word “firearm” means so as to designate “partially completed pistol frames” and other gun parts as “firearms.”
Final Rule 2021-05F was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States on March 26, 2025.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported, “President Joe Biden’s administration adopted regulations in 2022 requiring the parts to include serial numbers so that their owners could be traced. The regulations also required the buyers to undergo background checks, like those mandated for gun purchasers, and banned sales to anyone under age 21.”

The point is that there are federal laws AGAINST a national gun registry that the ATF, FBI, and DOJ have been ignoring for decades. Records that are required, by law, to be destroyed have been illegally maintained by said agencies. Despite numerous court orders for their destruction. The only point to serial numbers on guns is to register them.
If the Not so Supreme Court just ruled why would Trump reverse that? He has said he would follow court rulings whether he liked them or not. I don’t think there should be ANY requirement to register a gun. This all started with Saturday Night Specials and look what they have turned that into. I think there should be a register of every gun grabber in the country. Background checks, licenses and fees. Big fees.
Does the ATF track the parts kits they ship to Mexico.
atf *******, igotsyo gun “regs” swinging
As I understand it, The “ban” on so-called “ghost guns” is not a law, passed by congress; it is a rule imposed by the ATF as directed by Joe Biden and Merrick Garland. The Supreme Court just said that ATF rule was valid. President Trump can now legally direct the ATF to eliminate that rule with equal validity.
