State police told to treat ‘ghost guns’ parts as firearms

[HKusp 45]

I believe anyone that served their time and completed their parole should be able to own a firearm. If they weren't "safe" they shouldn't have released them from prison.

They way laws are currently written where convicted felons can't own a firearm, parts or ammunition I don't see why an 80% lower would be any different. You buy it with the intention of making a firearm, which is currently illegal if you are a convicted felon. An 80% lower should be illegal to possess if you are a convicted felon or if you are a prohibited person. Anyone else, it shouldn't matter.

I agree the issue is the system is designed to keep them coming back, not rehabilitate them contrary to what they say.

That would be cool if we could get a group buy together for pistol and rifle lowers.

somehow I knew you'd be onboard

saw this coming thank God too no more wait and see what happens bullshit, we don't want to get to the point of Virginia where we have to recover our rights as opposed to protect them from being infringed upon.

Nice. I was headed to that Eagle Arms show tomorrow to buy 3 80% lowers. I guess the only way for me to purchase one is if the dealer has an FFL and does the background check. Most sellers who sell 80% AR lowers dont even have an FFL.

They can fuss over this 80% thing all they want. Lowers have been cast from resin, carved from wood and made out of melted beer cans. There's even kits available where the lower is made of layers that are bolted together.

Modular weapons are the current design that works. The laws they keep trying to twist are based on the old "machined steel, gunsmith produced" model. It's like comparing having monks hand writing a bible, versus using a printing press. And we all know how that turned out. The Vatican had fits over "the word" being spread to the masses. Well, people in power here don't want the "masses" having the power to create their own guns. It's not about "bad people" making guns, it's about "bad people" who want to control everyone else.

That is an accurate observation, right there.

The next ban will be milling machines, and then drill presses.
