Re: ATF has been deliberately misinterpreting a key gun control regulation
If they change what is the "gun" or change the wording it will end up worse for us. With tons of registered machine guns becoming illegal, if a lower cant be a mg then neither can a rdias (auto sear) or trigger pack etc.

Re: ATF has been deliberately misinterpreting a key gun control regulation
I can see this as something they try to bring back
In the early days of gun control, every single part of a gun was subject to regulation under the Federal Firearms Act of 1938

Re: ATF has been deliberately misinterpreting a key gun control regulation
There are bolts, trigger packs, sears, all registered as mg. None of those meet the definition of "receiver" . Things like ar15,fal,etc that have split receivers would probably end up requiring "marriage " to the other half and both be serialized. Changing how they define the registered part wont end up good for us.

Re: ATF has been deliberately misinterpreting a key gun control regulation
Current weapon design (modular) would die on the vine. We would be back in the 1940's with complete receivers. Even the M17/M18 Sig pistols would need all the grip frames serial numbered to the sheet metal "receiver". Of course, the Gov would leave a loophole for them, but not us, to use "modular" weapons.
This would destroy any new weapons designs. A feature or flaw of what they want? Would be akin to saying the internet is too powerful for free speech, you have to go back to mailing letters to each other.

Re: ATF has been deliberately misinterpreting a key gun control regulation
Also, I believe GL addressed this issue in another thread.
But it comes down to this. It doesn’t meet what the law says is a firearm. Legally it isn’t a firearm at all, regardless of being full auto or not, so it isn’t regulated at all.
M2? Removable barrel. Not a firearm.
Fully auto m16? Not a firearm.
Just like a shockwave isn’t a sbs."Cives Arma Ferant"

Re: ATF has been deliberately misinterpreting a key gun control regulation
Yea .... as long as you never use one outside of your sound proof indoor range and never tell anyone you have unregistered mg...... there are tons of "regulations" I dont agree with like every part of a suppressor is a suppressor, or constructive intent, but I'm not gonna run around with coat hanger auto sears and tell them they cant regulate them because it doesnt fit the definition of firearm. If you have the time and money to defend against that more power to you
