    Legit question. Serial number ground off makes an eyebrow raise but it could be what you suggest.

    To the guy who was all "law and order uber alles" and mentioned it was illegal, have to obey the law, etc. True dat. However…..what about some future time when the libtards have their way and a new AWB is put into place? Register, surrender, or be felon. What then? Still feel the same way? Yeah, the 1934 NFA was long in effect when this guy supposedly bought this weapon, but how about if you were made into a criminal with the wave of a pen?

    Excellent point.

    Well, I know what I would do. I would go dump all mine in the lake and no one would ever see them again. Ever...

    What is a rewelded semi that was legal then illegal?

    If the gun was non-functional (and thus not a gun at all), why would he plead guilty? Who wouldn't his attorney be point out it was a non-functional gun? Instead they are admitting it was a F/A but it was a "single" mistake 40 years ago?

    AFAIC, the Citizens United decision pretty much eliminated any chance of our running like it was intended.
    You have doubts an amendment to ban nuclear weapons from individuals would pass?

    The defendant doesn't know if he bought a F/A or a S/A? Even though he was issued a F/A when in Service? What next he does not know it had an obliterated SN either?

    For those in the AK collecting and building world, I would bet money there are more 922(r) violations than you could ever imagine, and would make criminals out of many thousands of otherwise law abiding Americans just because of US Made parts counts. In that world, it's done intentionally with a wink and nod, and you just don't discuss it openly.

    With the numbers of AK, AR and HK "pistols" or semi-auto PDW's out there, I would guess there are a large number of SBR violations by the installation of forward grips and folding stocks (not the arm brace). Back in early '90s I remember seeing and HK SP89 with a forward grip and side folding stock, and no tax stamp. Clearly an NFA violation, but the owner didn't seem to care nor did I.

    The jails haven't been built to house all of these yet to be discovered criminals.
