If a federally imposed gun ban is put in place that prohibits the sale of an AR-15 from a manufacturer or a dealer to a customer, it will prevent any further transfers of AR-15’s. The important thing to keep in mind with that scenario is that the lower receiver is the part of the AR-15 that will be banned. The lower receiver on an AR-15 is the only part of the firearm that has a serial number. Each state has regulations relating to the transfer of firearms and requirements, if any, for the registration of a firearm. In Florida, there is no registration of firearms. But to purchase any firearm from a dealer who has a valid Federal Firearms License (FFL) the customer must complete a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (BATFE) Form 4473 which, if approved, allows for the transfer of a firearm from a dealer to the customer. The State of Florida and the BATFE do not have any idea what type of firearm you purchased when you fill out the 4473 (in Florida) and can only obtain that information from a dealer if that firearm was used in the commission of a crime or when investigating an individual with probable cause or reasonable suspicion.
Our “Beat the Ban” program is designed to allow the customer to purchase a rifle by taking possession of the complete lower receiver at the time of purchase with the upper receiver to be sent at a later date. The cause for the delay in delivery time for all TWS firearms is the availability of bolt carrier groups. Every company manufacturing and selling firearms faces a similar problem with the availability of one product or another. We currently have purchase orders in place for components and parts to manufacture over 1,000 rifles per month. Our delay in shipping is currently for the bolt carrier groups which are occasionally delayed by our suppliers which are in turn delayed by the much larger companies like Sig, Colt, FN and others attempting to buy everything on the market. Our orders have been in place for some time so we aren’t cut out – only delayed. If the gun ban goes into place like the one in 1994 in which “Assault Weapons” were banned, you will still be able to buy parts and pieces – even after the ban. If we have a similar ban implemented in the coming weeks or months, parts for AR-15’s will be still be available – except for the lower receiver.
Remember, your sale is for a rifle. Our invoice and the 4473 will reference the sale as a rifle. You are just taking possession of the complete lower receiver to “Beat the Ban.”
We are offering our customers the opportunity to guarantee that they will have an AR-15 “grandfathered” in in the event of a 1994 style ban on AR-15’s. “Grandfathered” means that you have already done your BATFE paperwork for the complete lower receiver and have taken possession of it prior to the date of any potential gun ban. Our “Beat the Ban” program will works as follows:

Excerpts form the 1994 Semiautomatic Assault Weapons (SAW) Ban

Q: What was the semiautomatic assault weapon (SAW) ban?
The SAW ban was enacted on September 13, 1994, by PL 103-322, Title IX, Subtitle A, section 110105. The ban made it unlawful to manufacture, transfer, or possess SAWs. The law defined SAWs as 19 named firearms, as well as semiautomatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns that have certain named features. The ban was codified at 18 U.S.C. § 922(v). SAWs lawfully possessed on September 13, 1994, were not covered by the ban. There also were certain exceptions, such as possession by law enforcement.
Q: Was the SAW ban permanent?
No. The law enacting the ban provided that it would expire 10 years from the date of enactment, which was September 13, 1994. Therefore, effective 12:01 a.m. on September 13, 2004, the provisions of the law ceased to apply.
