The government classifies improvised weapons as Type 2 firearms — weapons you can't buy in stores. And improvised weapons are legal, but require extensive background checks, paperwork and hefty fees.Most gun advocates — unless they're collectors or scientists — won't go through the trouble.Typical disinformation, blurring the line between a firearm, which the idiot built, and an 'improvised weapon' which is something else entirely.
It is perfectly legal to build your own firearm, even an evil black 'assault' semi-auto!
The only caveat is that you can't sell it or give it away. Legally.
You are correct, sir. There is no problem manufacturing an AR-15 or 1911 receiver in your garage, and then buying and assembling all the parts into it to make a working weapon. Typical media disinformation. They were SALIVATING over this story, I bet, because they heard that some of us were building our own "assault weapons."
Molon labe, bastards.
