The Supreme Court has agreed to review a case challenging the Biden administration’s attempt to regulate “buy build shoot” kits, which allow individuals to assemble firearms without background checks or serial numbers. This action by the ATF raises concerns about government overreach and infringing on Second Amendment rights.
The ATF’s rule requiring unfinished firearm parts to be treated like completed firearms is not only burdensome but also ineffective. Criminals do not adhere to gun laws, rendering these regulations pointless. Instead, they create a potential black market for untraceable guns, undermining public safety.

Moreover, certain firearms like AR-15-pattern rifles can be built with synthetic lower receivers that are easily produced using 3-D printing technology. This demonstrates the futility of trying to regulate every component of a firearm. The government should focus on enforcing existing laws rather than imposing more restrictions on law-abiding citizens.
It is crucial for the Supreme Court to uphold the Fifth Circuit’s decision and reject this overreaching rule. The government should respect individuals’ rights to bear arms and refrain from unnecessary interference in lawful gun ownership. This case highlights the importance of protecting constitutional freedoms against excessive government control.
