Ted Cruz, Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford, Indiana Sen. Mike Braun, and Utah Sen. Mike Lee.<\/p>\n<p>The effort seeks to stop <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atf.gov\/rules-and-regulations\/definition-frame-or-receiver\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ATF rule 2021R-05F<\/a>, which was signed by Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday. The rule is set to redefine a \u201cfirearm\u201d under federal law to include the individual parts of guns, often included in a weapons parts kit. The focus is part of Biden\u2019s effort to stop ghost guns, or firearms sold as kits and built by the individual after ordering the parts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf implemented, this new rule would require gun kits and gun parts to be regulated as if they were fully functional firearms\u2014meaning they wouldn\u2019t be able to be sold without a serial number or without the buyer having to undergo a background check,\u201d a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cruz.senate.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/sen-cruz-and-colleagues-to-introduce-resolution-prohibiting-the-biden-doj-from-expanding-firearm-definitions-and-creating-national-gun-registry\">statement<\/a> from Cruz\u2019s office noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new rule would also require those with Federal Firearms Licenses to retain records permanently, in effect creating a national firearms registry,\u201d the statement added. \u201cThe current rule, which the Biden administration seeks to change, allows for the disposal of records after 20 years.\u201d<u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_2986779340640827188wordsection1\"><u><\/u>Upon the announcement of the resolution, the Texas senator argued that the Republican leaders are \u201cpushing back\u201d to stop the false narrative against Second Amendment rights.<u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_2986779340640827188wordsection1\">\u201cFor the past two years, we\u2019ve seen crime rates skyrocket all across the country, aided by Democrats\u2019 soft-on crime policies and left-wing district attorneys operating like progressive activists instead of law enforcement officers. Democrats would love nothing more than to shift the blame and stoke anti-gun sentiment, and create a permanent national gun registry in the process,\u201d Cruz wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_2986779340640827188wordsection1\">\u201cBy introducing this resolution, we\u2019re pushing back\u2014we want to stop the Biden administration from issuing the final rule expanding the definition of firearms and instituting a national gun registry, we want to stop the false narrative that links the rise in crime to \u2018ghost guns,\u2019 and firearms, and we want to protect law-abiding citizens who are exercising their Second Amendment rights,\u201d he added.<u><\/u><\/p>\n<p>Lankford called the Biden administration\u2019s effort an attempt to \u201cstrip law-abiding citizens of their Second Amendment rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_2986779340640827188wordsection1\">\u201cCrime is going up in far-left cities because of soft-on-crime policies. Biden\u2019s response is to clamp down on guns put together in a kit. Federal law already prohibits felons from owning or possessing any gun, including so called \u2018ghost guns,\u2019\u201d Lankford said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_2986779340640827188wordsection1\">\u201cThis is another attempt by the Biden Administration to strip law-abiding citizens of their Second Amendment rights instead of addressing the failed policies that have led to increased crime across the country. This action by the Biden Administration is not going to solve rising crime rates. Senator Cruz and I are pushing to overturn this rule and will introduce a Congressional Review Act resolution to overturn it,\u201d he added, according to the statement.<\/p>\n<p>Biden renewed his push to ban semi-automatic long guns in a Monday speech that focused on what his administration is doing to crack down on Second Amendment rights.
