ATF Facial Recognition Scandal Deepens: Chairman Biggs Demands Records as Gun Owners Sound the Alarm - Ammoland.com
Gun owners across America have every reason to be outraged. According to a March 27, 2025, letter from Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has been secretly using facial recognition technology to track and identify gun owners—all without sufficient oversight, transparency, or even basic training for agents.
Biggs, who chairs the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance, is now demanding that Acting ATF Director Kash Patel hand over all documents relating to the agency’s use of facial recognition software. The call for answers follows multiple bombshell Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports and revelations that the ATF conducted at least 549 facial recognition searches between 2019 and 2022, often on law-abiding Americans exercising their Second Amendment rights.

Supreme Court Upholds Biden’s “Ghost Gun” Ban - Ammoland
The United States Supreme Court has upheld the Biden era “Ghost Gun” rule by a 7-2 margin.
The case Vanderstok v. Garland challenged a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) rule that banned the sale of unfinished firearms frames. The Firearms Policy Coalition (“FPC”) filed the case after an executive order by the Biden administration instructed the ATF to create a rule to ban privately manufactured firearms. The rule that was put into place required the serialization of incomplete frames and background checks before they could be sold.
Initially, the rule only applied to complete kits with jigs, and the frames and jigs could be sold independently. However, on December 27, 2022, the ATF issued a letter stating that all unfinished frames are now considered to be firearms under the Gun Control Act of 1968 (“GCA”). FPC claimed that the rule violated the Administrative Procedures Act (“APA”) because the ATF exceeded its authority in regulating privately manufactured firearms (“PMF”).
A District Court Judge in Texas agreed with the plaintiffs and blocked the rule from being enforced. The ATF appealed the decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. The Fifth Circuit upheld the District Court ruling. After the decision, the government asked the Supreme Court for an administrative stay pending a petition for a writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court. The high court would grant the request and ultimately grant cert meaning they would hear the case.
The government’s case hinged on whether kits such as those sold by the now defunct Polymer80 were readily convertible. The ATF argued that they could turn a kit into a working firearm in less than 21 minutes. During oral arguments, Associate Justice Samuel Alito surmised these kits were like going to a grocery store and buying ingredients to make a salad. Associate Justice Amy Comey Barrett shot back and equated it more to a “Hello Fresh” order where all the ingredients are packaged together with instructions.

Minnesota Bill Would Ban Transfer of Semi-automatic Firearms - Ammoland.com
In 2024, a bill was introduced into the Minnesota legislature that would ban many semi-automatic rifles. The bill was similar to the President Clinton-era “assault rifle” ban. A related bill, HF3628, did not pass out of the legislature in the last legislative session. In 2025, a new bill, Senate File SF1596/House File HF2449, takes a somewhat similar approach. The bill adds some new twists and turns. The new bill was introduced on February 20, 2025, and posted on February 25, 2025.
SF1596/HF2449 takes a different approach than HF3628 did. HF3628 banned the possession of a large number of rifles, pistols, and some shotguns. SF1596/HF2449 does not ban possession of the affected firearms, at least not right away. Instead, the bill bans the sale or transfer of these firearms. They are not allowed to be transferred as part of an estate or even to be transferred out of state. The idea is to prevent any new sale of the banned firearms and to gradually remove them from legitimate ownership in the state of Minnesota.
The major exception is that agents of the state may transfer such firearms to other agents of the state, defined as government officers, agents, employees, members of the armed forces of the United States, or peace officers, for official use by the recipient. No private citizens need apply.
