    He sold illegal AR-15s. Feds agreed to let him go free to avoid hurting gun control e

    Found this kind of interesting. I could see where this might be bad.


    Potential flaw in law regarding AR-15s exposed

    Basically to paraphrase, in one case the judge ruled that a AR15 lower reciever does not meet definition of firearm.

    It reads as if the Judge ruled that, because a lower does not contain a breechlock, firing mechanism, and is not threaded to accept a barrel, it does not meet the definition of a firearm. It seems the same could be said of many modern firearms, including most semi-automatic handguns and the majority of semi-automatic rifles.

    Not the first time the feds don't appeal or have dropped a case to keep pro 2A rulings from advancing forward

    Must be the same BS logic that let Eric "Gunwalker" Holder skate.

    Oh there's a reason the Feds have the conviction rate they do. They're WAY more selective with prosecutions than locals or state DA's.

    I’m glad someone else read this and thought, “Not good for gun owners.”

    Agreed. Scottyryan's post is definitely the most informative and well reasoned in the thread.

    ATF may be dropped the case to avoid undoing years of their own regulations, but in doing so they did gun owners (and the industry as a whole) a huge favor.
