How many times have you had a serial number checked on a gun? I can think of zero times in my life.

Quoted: No worries since LE will not be enforcing, correct? We’re all in this together, right? View Quote Former Nevadan here. About 75% of the state population lives in Clark County, the big urban shit hole of the state. The sheriff is beholden to the casinos and left tard prostiticians who run the county and Las Vegas and is thus not a friend of the 2A. If push comes to shove the Las Vegas Metropolitan PD (combined county sheriff/city police) will enforce this bullshit law. As far as the rural BFE red counties, they have some good pro-2A sheriffs but still have to worry about Nevada Highway Patrol, the state level police. Yet another reason I moved to South Dakota with the money my late mom left me. Nevada's government went all blue in both legislative chambers and all statewide offices except secretary of state, and she is a gutless coward, in 2018. The dems move quick pushing their bullshit through while the state dead elephant party sticks its thumb up its ass. |

Would if a manufacture sells an unfinished receiver with a serial number to you. Since it is not a firearm yet, is a background check even needed?
Many are selling both finished firearms receivers and unfinished receiver parts. Seems to e there may be a loophole to still sell them without a BGC. I did not read the whole law. |
|
Quoted: No it doesn't seem to be that easy. Section 5.5.2(b) The unfinished frame or receiver is required by federal law to be imprinted with a serial number issued by an importer or manufacturer and the unfinished frame or receiver has been imprinted with the serial number. I see this being challenged under current law but it looks like they are just getting ahead of what the ATF is doing which is going to require this to be done. View Quote The ATF does not require a home builder to engrave a serial on a frame because Federal law only mandates licensed manufacturers to do so. For the sake of argument, is Nevada saying you broke Nevada state law by buying a rectangular aluminum billet and finished it into a receiver? What if you engrave a serial number into it? Is Nevada saying everyone everywhere in the entire State has to engrave a serial number into every piece of metal, wood, or plastic that could potentially be finished into a gun frame? |

Quoted: Are you guys not reading what has been posted? No you can not put a serial number on it and be ok. No a gunsmith cannot put a serial number on it for you and be ok Any 80% that is out there completed or not, must be turned in to the government or destroyed. Failure to do so will will land your azz in jail. View Quote He didn't say anything about 80%s People were making homemade guns long before P80 existed. A "completed 80%" is just another name for a homemade gun. |

I think you are missing the gist is no one gives a shit. Fuck em. Fuck overstepping draconian bullshit.
|

Quoted: From the amended version. You must be a qualifying importer or manufacturer to assign a serial. The relevant USC section for importers and manufacturers: The NV senate is heavily D. Hope they have some staunch defenders and some smart legislative tricks to head this off- it would be the most draconian bill of the sort nationwide to my knowledge. I'm sure they'll have some cocksucker like their state trooper commander or some similar wonk there to slob sisolak's knob and talk about how all the criminals are using p80s and 3d printed guns. View Quote The NV senate is short of 2/3 demtard by only 1 vote. They will pay off, arm twist, or blackmail one of the dead elephants to "cross the aisle in the spirit of bipartisanship" easily. |

Quoted: I guess I'll get an engraver to put serial number one through five on the ones I have. View Quote Get a cri-cut or other cheap hobby lobby or joanns fabrics cnc vinyl plotter. Make vinyl stickers and acid etch whatever you want on them. It'll look factory professional and be deep enough to meet ATF specs on engraving. |

Quoted: https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL/81st2021/Bill/7778/Overview Looks like NV decided to make law bidding citizens into criminals today. Nevada Assembly Bill 286, which would ban unfinished receivers, was heard by the Senate Judiciary Committee on May 5th. Today it passed with a 26 to 16 vote View Quote Sorry OP, but where is your information coming from? NELIS shows it going before the committee on 5/11, which is the same information one of the senators sent yesterday. WE NEED HELP!!! We need EVERYONE to submit an opinion on the matter. There are minimal exhibits AND the liberal left has been censoring our opinions. None of mine were in the initial bill. |

Is Nevada saying everyone everywhere in the entire State has to engrave a serial number into every piece of metal, wood, or plastic that could potentially be finished into a gun frame? View Quote This is how the bill defines it. 9. “Unfinished frame or receiver” means a blank, a casting or a machined body that is intended to be turned into the frame or lower receiver of a firearm with additional machining and which has been formed or machined to the point at which most of the major machining operations have been completed to turn the blank, casting or machined body into a frame or lower receiver of a firearm even if the fire-control cavity area of the blank, casting or machined body is still completely solid and unmachined. As for the engraving it states that only licensed manufacturers and importers can mark the items and and must be done before sale. They are treating their definition of a "firearm" to be that of the new ATF proposed ruling. Basically all items that meet their definition will that have not been serialized by a federally licensed importer or manufacturer will be illegal to possess and any citizen with one will be subject to arrest. This applies to everyone regardless if you had it before or after the bill. They know who has them as well because the records from p80, stamps.com and other companies have already been seized by the government. |

How the fuck do they think this can be enforced? Guns rarely even get run unless there are extenuating circumstances. Even then, as far as most street cops are concerned, a s/n check of a firearm that has not been entered into NCIC (as flagged or stolen, for example) will come up as “no record found”. This means that legal guns don’t exist on current databases. Even an ATF trace yields the most basic of info.

Quoted: Not engraving a firearm won't be allowed since only a licensed manufacturer can engrave? Re-read that sentence. View Quote Correct. A serial number is required, so it must be engraved. Not engraving it is not allowed.... that is the illegal part. You can't do it, unless you are a licensed manufacturer or importer. |

Quoted: ATF just said that all homemade firearms have to be engraved? Really? Link to that? View Quote They said that ALL.... "unfinished" firearms have to be engraved as they are to be now considered "firearms" And they took away the 80% distinction meaning now that any blank with just one hole drilled can be constructive intent. Much like other current state laws. California and Connecticut require all firearms to have serial numbers, including 80% receivers before they're cut and drilled, making them a firearm under those states' legal definitions. California Bill A.B. 857 requires that all firearms in the state either have a unique serial number engraved, or that they be destroyed. Connecticut's legislation requires all firearms and firearm blanks, including unfinished 80% lowers, to have unique serial numbers engraved before they're made into a firearm. |

And they wrote the bill predicate on being in accordance with Federal law. Not engraving a serial number on a home built firearm by an unlicensed person is perfectly in accordance with Federal law. |

I trust them more than any Kimber or Springfield. I consider them all to be on par with ed brown, Wilson, or Nighthawk And my AR that goes wherever I go was machined from a cerro keyhole forging on my 3 axis mill to within +/-.003" and adheres to the COLT blueprints. So I would not consider 80% built firearms to be all backyard bubba junk. |
