This is absurd rule. My gunsmith shared same with me Friday night. The details are even worse. They cannot now hardly do any upgrades, repairs, and all.

Yes. They must complete the gun agenda to have all the peasants unable to protect themselves or fight back.

Globalist utopia. All of us in poverty. Them not so much.

They can’t support this in court.

A repairman is not a manufacturer.

I have been thinking about becoming a gun-smith. Great profession.

The Sultan can’t immediately ban guns or confiscate them but he can make them evermore expensive to own.

Isn’t this going to drive the gunsmiths even more “into the shadows”??

The best bet is just to ignore it. Keep your advertising and documents pointing towards repair and specifically note that you will not “create/manufacture” weapons from scratch.

As far as I’m concerned, Obama and the whole DNC can smoke a rancid turd, while jogging off a cliff to fall head first into sea of shit.

And that would be too good for them.

Requiring these people to pay $2,250 every year will drive many of them out of business or underground.

That's the point. Charge just enough that they know some people will fork it over but not so much that they get pissed off enough to hire attorneys and take them to court or make a big ruckus to piss The People off.. Our government really thinks we are that stupid.

Now The Obama Administration Is After Gunsmiths?

F*** that stupid affirmative action bastard. We have CNC machines now. We are all F***ing gunsmiths. Technology has moved beyond their ability to stop the manufacture of guns.

WE WILL NOT OBEY.

According to the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, as a gunsmith you have to register with the State Department and pay an annual fee of $2,250 if you perform any of the following services:

a) Use of any special tooling or equipment upgrading in order to improve the capability of assembled or repaired firearms;

b) Modifications to a firearm that change round capacity;

c) The production of firearm parts (including, but not limited to, barrels, stocks, cylinders, breech mechanisms, triggers, silencers, or suppressors);

d) The systemized production of ammunition, including the automated loading or reloading of ammunition;

e) The machining or cutting of firearms, e.g., threading of muzzles or muzzle brake installation requiring machining, that results in an enhanced capability;

f) Rechambering firearms through machining, cutting, or drilling;

g) Chambering, cutting, or threading barrel blanks; and

h) Blueprinting firearms by machining the barrel.

In other words, if you perform any gunsmithing operation that requires more skill than your typical bubba at his kitchen table.

Under the radar.

I have a cnc shop and a customer wanted me to makw actions. Just in fees it was 5500. I had to recuse the work because the customer couldnt afford to pay me upfront for it.

being a gunsmith doesn’t mean you have to own all the equipment.

Seems they should be able to set up the corporation that owns it all, then lease it when needed. ( wink wink, nudge nudge)
Only the corp has to pay the fee and since all the gunsmiths lease from the corp, would the corp have to pay more than 1 fee a year ?

My gunsmith has a lathe, a drill press, even a barrel reamer.

A lot of shops that have nothing to do with firearms have lathes and drill presses. Will they be exempt? If so I think the courts will slap this down.

It’s the PCR-80’s that they are looking at.

if you read the regulation, how many “hobbyists” are producing finished lower AR receivers without serial numbers?

You look at the number of NICS checks for serialized units, how many millions are going out with out serials as PCR-80’s

This goes for AR’s and 1911’s. Both are easy to complete with the available jigs, and nominal experience.
