Federal law enforcement officials — and members of Congress — have been on notice about a potential problem with the language in federal gun law as applied to AR-15s since at least 2016.
I always thought the AR-15 boogie man was kind if funny. To some it's the source of all evil but you are less likely to be killed by an AR-15 in America than by a knife in the UK.
That is very interesting and of course it opens up a hornets nest of 3d printing parts and those skilled in metal working building guns or in this case parts for guns.
It certainly shows that no matter the laws that are on the books that someone that is bent on mass murder will find a way to kill.
I can't help but think about the similarities with say a deranged person using a gun to kill or turning to a truck. I wonder if anyone would bat an eye if that deranged person bought some parts and put them on his truck that would improve the suspension so when he jumped the curb he would stay in control to run down the crowd. Or maybe he added some more horsepower to the motor with parts bought online so he could go faster in his murder spree?
The AR15 is one of the most popular sporting rifles in the country and there are millions of them out there. I don't think one guy making some parts is "flooding the market" it is actually circumventing existing law.

The AR-15 is clearly the deadliest, most powerful weapon ever invented by man. So if someone makes it a 'boogie man,' they would be justified. Only the 475 Limbaugh might be more powerful, but does not hold as many bullets in its clip.
I read most of the article, and do not understand why they could not prosecute this guy. The issue of 'upper' vs. 'lower' did come up in another thread. From what expert posters said, the upper is totally unregulated under the law. That is not right! You pass a background check for a gun with a particular level of power. If you wish to 'upper' that level, you should have to go through another background check.

C'mon travis t, tell us, Why do you keep making these ignorant comments that you know are not true?
More than that. If this is recognized, anyone could order a complete AR lower off the internet, shipped anywhere, without any scrutiny, without going through a dealer. The could also order the rest of the parts and assemble the firearm. No machining would be required. And assembling an AR from parts is barely more than a screwdriver job.
