That’s right. It’s not skirting the law at all. I can legally build any gun I want (non full auto) for my own use.

I think you can build full-auto as well, it's regulated by a tax — which, IIRC, stems from the interstate commerce clause.

Question: which law(s) restrict it to military/law-enforcement?

I don't think so. If it that were legal, everyone would be buying those cut-receiver kits and making their own receivers. I know I would. The law on full-autos dictates that no new weapons can enter the market. If I'm wrong, please let me know, I'll spin up the lathe.

I don’t think it has ever been illegal to make your own gun

But possessing full auto without that “tax” would get the Feds involved I guess.

Illegal to make you own class 3 without class three license, and a full auto-license goes with the gun, it isn’t just created.

Correct. And a $200 tax must be paid for each.

I thought the tax on full auto was a transfer tax. - no transfer...no tax?
