A controversial new rule that addressed "ghost gun" scaremongering went into effect on Wednesday even though federal regulators made last-minute tweaks to the rule two days prior.

NEW ATF FRAME OR RECEIVER RULE TAKES EFFECT

Attorneys general from some 41 states and the District of Columbia took an official side on the issue.

A Rule by the Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Bureau on 04/26/2022

Definition of “Frame or Receiver” and Identification of Firearms
 
Looking past the "frame or receiver" questions, 2A groups argue the quietest part of the new rule – requiring FFLs to store 4473 forms forever and then turn them in to the ATF once they close, after which they will be likely be digitized and made searchable – in effect, a backdoor gun registry, something forbidden by long-standing federal law, is the scariest.

Agency Rulemaking

To enforce laws passed by legislative bodies, agencies must follow certain formal or informal procedures in creating their policies, procedures, and rules.

But this (link below) should have an impact since this new "rule" redefines definitions that have stood for decades and are based on political factors vs. the legislative process.

West Virginia vs. the EPA

Since the new "Rule" acknowledges that the GCA didn't define the elements that the "Rule" now tries to define, the "Rule" the agency may have overstepped its authority by redefining a "law" (the GCA) without Congressional action that would allow the BATFE to establish a series of new regulatory standards.

The Bruen and Heller decisions may also factor in since the Second and Fourteenth Amendments may be factored in by the new "Rule".
