Another example would be the BATFE’s recent redefinition of a firearm receiver to include 80% receivers. The 80% rule was a reasonable compromise that the regime’s gun grabbers can’t stand, so now they risk having all AR style two-part receivers being ruled not to be firearms under the GCA, which some judges have already ruled.
No, the problem is that Congress grants powers to BATFE that Congress itself does not have.
Compare the structure of an M1911A1 to that of an AR15.
Yes. Seriously. Do it.
They're really not that different, are they?
If no part of an AR15 is, by itself, a firearm ... then neither is any single part of an M1911A1.
Again, if you think I'm joking or being pedantic ... compare them. I'm serious. NFA'34 and GCA'68 were written by idiots who knew nothing about firearms.
