Effective October 9, 2026, ATF says it will no longer enforce NFA preapproval, registration and tax-stamp requirements for short-barreled ri**es, short-barreled sh****ns, suppressors and AOWs. The policy applies nationwide, beyond the plaintiffs in the lawsuit.

That’s a major step forward for gun owners. Here’s what still applies:

• State and local restrictions remain. Some states may still require federal registration.
• Dealer paperwork, required background checks and recordkeeping still apply, along with applicable business licensing and SOT requirements.
• Individuals still need ATF Form 20 approval before transporting SBRs or SBSs across state lines.
• Machine guns and destructive devices remain subject to the full NFA, including the $200 tax.

The NFA has not been repealed. This is a change in ATF’s enforcement policy.

1.4 BILLION records. And gun owners are supposed to have no questions?

In a letter shared by Gun Owners of America , ATF reported holding more than 1.4 billion record images and pages from fi****ms dealers that have gone out of business.

ATF says the system cannot be searched by a gun owner’s name and does not constitute a national fi****ms registry. That explanation doesn’t settle the privacy concerns that come with keeping an enormous collection of fi****ms records in federal hands.

The concern goes beyond who has access today. It’s who gets access tomorrow, what rules they change, and what they decide to do with that information.

A centralized registry could give a future administration a tool to target gun owners and enforce confiscation if fi****ms people legally purchased become prohibited. Americans shouldn’t have to trust every future politician to respect their rights and leave their fi****ms alone.

This is why the right to build matters. This is why 80% Arms exists.

We help law-abiding Americans build privately made fi****ms because we believe privacy, independence, and the ability to make something yourself are worth defending. Keeping that tradition alive means making it accessible to everyday people and standing up for the people who practice it.

You don’t owe anyone an explanation for caring about your privacy. And owning a fi***rm shouldn’t make you a target for suspicion.

We’ll keep supporting responsible builders and fighting efforts to strip away that freedom.

Your rights shouldn’t depend on who wins the next election.

The people pushing gun bans are showing up to vote. We need to show up, too.

Everytown and its Moms Demand Action network, Giffords PAC, and Brady PAC are organizing voters and backing candidates who will pass more restrictions. They’re working to get their people elected. Sitting this out makes their job easier.

Eleven states have already enacted “assault weapon” bans covering semiautomatic ri**es. Those laws took votes to pass, and the people casting those votes had to get elected first.

That’s why this matters all the way down the ballot. A seat in Congress comes with a vote on federal gun laws. State lawmakers can put the next gun control bill on a governor’s desk to sign or veto. Mayors and city councils can push local restrictions where state law allows. Look at what these candidates want to do with that power.

In Texas’ 23rd Congressional District, Brandon Herrera opposes new fi***rm restrictions and supports national concealed-carry reciprocity. His opponent Katy Padilla Stout supports universal background checks, red-flag laws, and a bump-stock ban.

In California, Xavier Becerra wants the governor’s office after defending magazine limits and am******on background checks and joining Giffords in suing the ATF over 80% frames and receivers. Steve Hilton has pledged an executive order directing state government to comply with the Second Amendment.

In Minnesota, Amy Klobuchar supports an “assault weapon” ban. Her opponent for governor, Lisa Demuth has the Minnesota Gun Owners PAC’s endorsement.

And in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, York, and Reading have passed local restrictions targeting unfinished frames and receivers. City Hall matters too.

We cannot keep sitting out elections and expecting a lawsuit to fix everything afterward. If you don’t vote, other voters choose who gets that power.

Read their records. Vote for candidates who will defend the Second Amendment when an actual vote is on the line.

Check your registration and state deadlines at Vote.gov. Show up for local elections too.

The right to build deserves better than fear and misinformation.

Anti-gun groups and misleading headlines have created widespread confusion about building your own fi***rm. Let’s clear it up.

Federal law still allows eligible individuals to build fi****ms for personal use, subject to federal restrictions. Some anti-gun state governments have banned or restricted that freedom, so where you live matters.

The Supreme Court’s decision on the ATF’s Frame or Receiver Rule did not impose a nationwide ban on privately made fi****ms.

We joined FPC to challenge that rule and took the fight all the way to the Supreme Court. We believe the right to keep and bear arms includes the right to build them.

Swipe through for the facts. Share this with someone who’s been told otherwise.

Keep the American tradition of building alive. 🇺🇸

We’re not lawyers, and this post is for general education, not legal advice. Always check current federal, state, and local laws before buying or building. If you’re unsure, consult a qualified attorney.

We believe the right to keep and bear arms includes the right to build them. Keep the American tradition of building alive. 🇺🇸

Yes, you can still legally build your own fi***rm for personal use under federal law, provided you’re legally eligible. But tyrannical state governments have banned or restricted that freedom, so where you live matters.

At 80% Arms, we’ve backed that freedom in court. We joined the challenge against the ATF’s Frame or Receiver Rule and took that fight all the way to the Supreme Court.

That case helped clarify the limits of the ATF’s authority over unfinished receivers. The decision did not impose a blanket ban on 80% AR lowers or privately made fi****ms, and it recognized that federal regulation has limits.
