On December 10, agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives raided Dayton, Nev.-based Polymer80. The company manufactures unfinished, referred to as 80 percent, receivers/frames. There are also reports of BATFE confronting Polymer80 customers and confiscating certain unfinished frame kits. The move marks the first direct assault on unfinished frames/receivers since the news broke in November of collusion between BATFE and Biden's transition/team to target these items by executive fiat.View Related Articles
On November 10, gun rights activist John Crump published a piece for Ammoland.com with details of a leaked BATFE conference call in which BATFE Acting Director Regina Lombardo and Associate Deputy Director Marvin Richardson participated. According to the article, “Acting Director Regina Lombardo told those in attendance that the anti-gun Biden transition team has reached out to the ATF to get the agency’s ‘top priorities.’” The item went on to note that “Lombardo told those on the call that her priorities would be pistol braces and 80% lower receivers.”
It appears BATFE couldn't wait for inauguration day to commence their attack on the firearms industry/gun owners.
Federal statute (18 U.S.C. 921(a)(3)) defines "firearm" in part as, "(A) any weapon(including a starter gun) which will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; (B) the frame or receiver of any such weapon." In the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), “firearm frame or receiver” is further defined as “That part of a firearm which provides housing for the hammer, bolt or breechblock, and firing mechanism, and which is usually threaded at its forward portion to receive the barrel.”
A Federal Firearms License (FFL) is required to commercially manufacture or deal in firearms. Further, licensees must comply with background check and record-keeping requirements when selling firearms.

I'm not at all interested in a "polymer" action for a weapon. But I do like guns/rifles.
Bureaucraps at the BATF can become a oppressive tool of the Left. Looks like they are losing no time in pressuring the agencies.

I found this article referenced at:

Not it is blocked via Twitter and Facebook. (no surprise) And it is hard to find from a Search Engine. Had to use indirect search phrases to find it. (and I was using Duck Duck Go)
We’re gonna need more than pop guns.
It sounds like a lot more than pressure. Biden is controlling the agency and directing it. Talk about an unconstitutional shadow government!
So it begins. Confiscation of firearms and violation of the 2nd Amendment.
Our Constitutional right to bear arms is under assault at lightening speed and Biden has not even been sworn in as POTUS. Just imagine what will happen when he assumes office ce.
Trump should fire acting Director Regina Lombardo and Associate Deputy Director Marvin Richardson Monday.
I pray daily we will be delivered from that.
And I wake up each morning and praise God for where I live. I look out our front door and tell myself, “Thank God this is still Texas where I live.”
I am considering buying a new handgun. Looking at a Ruger Blackhawk .357/38 6-1/2” pistol. It would fill a void in what I have. I do not currently have a reason for a carry permit.
NRA fundraising opportunity.
Well the Bureaucraps hate President Trump.
If he prevails with the election fraud issue, he should not forget these.
Sigh.
Yes. It is odd they chose this issue. But then they are

“Just imagine what will happen when he assumes office”
He’s already “assuming” office... its just not a good assumption.
No, it is not.
I don’t take the exotic approach to my weapons. I look at function, design, reliability and can I cheaply reload ammo for it.
Wife and I are very practical people. I just got a new set of dies for .357/38 ammo this week.
Yes.
There is no delegated power for the federal to say what the citizens cannot own and therefore the 10th Amendment forbids this.
But don’t expect the America and its Constitution hating so-called “progressives” to care one jot ... they’ve got tyranny to press forward!
And the 10th Amendment too.
If ATF takes the guns, the USA becomes like Venezuela, total control of the populace. That is ATF’s and the Dems goal.....
True that.
And they intend to punish their freedom loving enemies.
They had best be careful for what they wish.
