He is not anti-anything. In fact, I just pulled my upper and dropped it on my standby pistol lower, and all was good.
I only include this as a cautionary anecdote to illustrate that sometimes “it isn’t worth it” just because it is technically legal. Others, including federal law enforcement, may disagree/be behind on current interpretations.
