Citing Heller is an irrelevant deflection of the question.
Again.......what other Constitutional rights would you like to require a licence to exercise?
The LEFT wants to DICTATE always. Dictate how many, and what type of guns we can own, or not own actually, and how much ammo we can have. They try to circumvent the 2A, a natural right, with ammo taxes, waiting periods, gun bans, etc. All illegal under current law.
I shouldn't need a license to buy, nor carry a gun. It is my right as a law abiding citizen. We need to roll back these restrictions.
Any finished receiver (a critical part of the firearm) has to be sold through a licensed firearm dealer (who is required to run a background check.) You would have to have specialized machinery and designs to manufacture your own lower receiver (and make it actually work.)
However, you can manufacture slam guns fairly easy and there is no requirement to register them if it is only for personal use (hence the law.) Slam guns are single shot weapons. It would take confiscating all the iron plumbing in the US to prevent slam guns.
Right. I don't know why excessive purchases shouldn't red flag local if not federal intervention. I'm sorry, I haven't heard any damn good credible reason why someone needs 60 guns, 20 of which were bought in a 30 day window or even 1,000+ rounds of ammunition as an individual. I get Boy Scout camps but they should be licensed to do that. Joe Sixpack has no damn business buying 20 guns in a month and 1,000 rounds in a single purchase.
It's cheaper to buy ammo in bulk. There is no expiration date if you store it properly.
For one of my training classes, I had to have a minimum of 750 rifle rounds and 250 pistol rounds.
Some of us get happy when we open a cabinet door and find a 1,000 round box of ammo that we didn't remember buying.
Yes, indeed. Why was he able to purchase sufficient parts online to build an operational firearm? The sale of firearms components online needs to come to an end.
So you want to police parts of this size? I bent a roll pin during my last build and I found the exact same size at Home Depot.

Or sometimes, stunned.
I was putting things in order in the vault the other week and when I saw the stack of .308, I was rather stunned.
As said, it is rather expensive to feed and like it was said of Francisco Scaramanga, "Unfortunately, he doesn't fire them that often.".
Having something like that, though, it is often on the mind to keep its pantry supplied. "I guess I better order some .308, too.".......and it just piles up. The .308 is rather the source of the 5000 round figure of what to have in each caliber.
And something is very suspicious about this. One can not buy a lower receiver for the AR or AK, or a frame for the handgun without going thru an FFL. Regardless of purchasing it in person or online. Not to mention , he isn't a US citizen. I have an AR lower on order currently. I ordered it from the company, and it is getting shipped to the closest FFL. Then, even though I have a current CPL, I still have to fill out a 4473 and they call me into the NICS background check system.
He could have purchased an 80% lower for the AR, which requires a some machine work to complete. As far as the AK and the handgun... I don't think there are legal options like that available.
Someone broke the law selling him the lowers and or frame. This is not the legal norm.
Not necessarily. He could have bought receivers from a guy in a WalMart parking lot, without the seller breaking any laws.
It's called a ghost gun. So named because it isn't required to have a serial number, nor is the owner required to register it. It is practically untraceable.
Untwist the panties, there Chuck. It's a loophole, plain and simple, no registration, no serial numbers, no background checks, the very definition of a loophole.
A loophole is something unintended, not understood, and exploited. That clearly doesn’t isn’t the situation with “ghost guns.”
It does. I'm not sure how much skill it takes to complete a receiver.
An 18 year old Asian exchange student skill.
Which take the majority of Americans out the equation.
