Houston area company says Biden Administration's ghost gun policy will put them out of business

Manufacturers make gun parts known as “80 percenters,” “lower receivers,” or “receiver blanks” that customers can purchase to assemble their own firearms. They come in kits that shipped to gun stores across the country are sometimes called as “ghost guns” because it’s difficult for law enforcement to trace their origins. The businesses that make these parts are not regulated by the ATF and do not require a federal firearms license to sell them as do gun stores.
President Joe Biden had promised on the campaign trail and in subsequent statements that the White House would push Congress to close the loophole that allows the sale of the kits. But in his first year and a half in office, no such law has passed. Businesses were forced to comply with the new mandate that the former classifications of these parts are no longer “valid or authoritative,” despite the fact that no law prevents them from operating, the company says.
