Will ATF’s Frame/Receiver Rule Get a 2nd Life?

ATF to federal court: “Hey, we don’t really like all that stuff in NYSRPA v. Bruen about no tiers of scrutiny and not letting us do interest balancing, so we want you to tell the supreme court they’re wrong.”
Imagine being employed by the ATF and being able to look at your wife and children when you get home and look yourself in the mirror at night and be able to fall asleep with no trouble. Imagine having your conscience hardened and soul seared with hot coals to the degree these people have. I hope this fate doesn’t befall anyone reading this.

My first thought on the “20,000 unserialized firearms in 2021” claim by the BATFE was, “What are they including in that number, other than personally-completed guns?” There is virtually no way they recovered 20,000 home-built firearms at crime scenes.
Including obliterated serial numbers might do it. As might including foreign-sourced weapons from places or times in which serial numbers aren’t/weren’t required. (Heck, I wouldn’t put it past the BATFE to include foreign-manufactured weapons with serial numbers that the BATFE can’t easily trace themselves.)
And the best part is, they don’t have to tell the Courts where or how they got that “20,000” number!
It’s no different than including suicides in “gun deaths”, to triple the perceived amount of violence.
But a lie, at the end of the day, is still a lie. At what point does submitting a known lie to the court become perjury?
