Instead of going through all of that and worrying about what constitutes a "firearm", can we just follow the Constitution and not infringe on the right?

We can take the F out of ATF, so they are just the "AT".

Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms should be a CONVENIENCE STORE...not a G'ment Agency!

In the case of the SIG P320/M17, I believe the ATF doesn't even consider the frame to be the firearm, but the modular trigger unit is. The frame is just a plastic housing for the part that is actually regulated.

 

FWIW, HK pistols (at least) have serialized barrels and slides, because apparently some member nations consider the barrel and/or slide to be the firearm.

 

Ultimately every part of every firearm is replaceable, so which part is really the "gun" if you break it all into components? You have to pick one.

Technically the trigger unit is the frame (the piece that the fire control parts actually mount to) and what would be the frame on most other handguns is just a grip

They could just start serializing gun owners.......Maybe something like a tattoo on the wrist.
