(Mandel Ngan-Pool\/Getty Images).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Attorney General Merrick Garland commented on the proposed changes, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>We are committed to taking commonsense steps to address the epidemic of gun violence that takes the lives of too many people in our communities. Criminals and others barred from owning a gun should not be able to exploit a loophole to evade background checks and to escape detection by law enforcement. This proposed rule would help keep guns out of the wrong hands and make it easier for law enforcement to trace guns used to commit violent crimes, while protecting the rights of law-abiding Americans. Although this rulemaking will solve only one aspect of the problem, we have an obligation to do our part to keep our families and our neighborhoods safe from gun violence.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The new rules <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2022\/04\/11\/fact-sheet-the-biden-administration-cracks-down-on-ghost-guns-ensures-that-atf-has-the-leadership-it-needs-to-enforce-our-gun-laws\/\">to be announced<\/a> by Biden and Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco\u00a0follow through on the early 2021 proposal by requiring that FFLs add serial numbers to any unserialized gun taken into their possession:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The Justice Department is requiring federally licensed dealers and gunsmiths taking any unserialized firearm into inventory to serialize that weapon. For example, if an individual builds a firearm at home and then sells it to a pawn broker or another federally licensed dealer, that dealer must put a serial number on the weapon before selling it to a customer. This requirement will apply regardless of how the firearm was made, meaning it includes ghost guns made from individual parts, kits, or by 3D-printers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>AWR\u00a0<\/em><em>Hawkins is an award-winning Second Amendment columnist for Breitbart News<\/em><em>\u00a0and the writer\/curator of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/downrange\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Down Range with AWR Hawkins<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em><em>a weekly newsletter focused o<\/em><em>n al<\/em><em>l things Second Amendment, also for Breitbart News.
