Simple answer to the OP's question: the administration has too much else on its plate right now. They don't want any more controversy.
I agree on sticking together, but so many of our ranks think ghost guns should be banned. Why do you need a gun without a serial no, why would you pay more to build a gun, why why why. Its like trying to unite muscle car drivers on what oil is the best. My feeling has always been I may not be into your area of shooting, like I don't get into sporting clays or big game hunting but if they chip away at that they come for me nest.
Huh, I didn't know that. So does this now mean that I'd have get my JC Higgins serialized? How would one even do that?Absolutely agreed.
Again, what people don't realize is this proposed rule change also effects any firearm made prior to 1968 that also does not have a serial number.
I just read where San Diego just banned 80% / non-serialized firearms, and the court agreed and ruled in favor of the city on their ban. San Diego County is apparently considering similar rules. https://californiaglobe.com/article...nies-lawsuit-against-san-diego-ghost-gun-ban/
Glad I still live in a semi-free state. For now.
As it is now the Dems hope to capitalize at the polls on their failure to push through gun legislation. Don't be surprised to hear the Dems : "We tried to push through reasonable and responsible gun legislation but the Republicans blocked all those efforts because they are all in the NRA's pockets! Vote Democrat in November to make our streets safe from gun violence!"DC can’t get anything done until after the mid terms. If D hold the house/senate expect them to try to placiate their loud, lunatic fringe and try to push it through to keep them happy for 2024.
If they lose control of the legislative branch it’s DOA.
In the meantime, they’re letting the D-dominated states do the dirty work for them. Ca has already banned the manufacture of 80% pistols by making serial numbers mandatory… then refusing to issue serial numbers to home built pistols since they are not on the arbitrary DOJ roster of “safe guns” (neat trick, huh?). Soon a new law takes effect that looks like you won’t be able to possess, buy or import any 80% lowers, gun parts or kits for home-building any handgun, rifle or shotgun, either.
Stay safe.
Of course, it’s Politics 101. Every loss can be made into a gain with the right spin.As it is now the Dems hope to capitalize at the polls on their failure to push through gun legislation.

One reason politicians try to push through legislation they know will not pass it to use it as political ammunition against the opposition come election time.
