What I see as a possible remedy would be yes all 80% are serialized and documentation Hass to be filled out and kept for all that are sold ...
I'm sure some will propose something like that, though I do wonder why you include all the legal requirements for purchasing a firearm, and leave out the background check?
I have issues with treating anything as something it is NOT. If it is a firearm, fine, its a firearm, but if its NOT a firearm, what justification (other than the tyranny of pandering to a political group being forced on all of us) can there be for treating it as a firearm?
IF/WHEN it becomes one, then it is one, until then, its not, and in my opinion should be left the hell alone, as far as firearms laws are concerned.
What else, if anything, in our modern world is treated that way? I see this as constructive possession writ LARGE, at the very least.
Too many people seem to have become obsessed with what MIGHT happen, and want "laws" to prevent what literally does not yet exist. Why is it that when people who can be identified as belonging to a specific group, be it political, religious, or even racial, commit crimes we are constantly told that the group should not be held responsible or accountable, or punished, and yet if that group happens to be people who own guns, then we are all tarred by the same brush and held accountable for the acts of deranged individuals simply because the only thing we have in common with them is that we own guns??
There is nothing in this world that I can think of that cannot be misused to cause harm to others, including language. Are we now doomed to an existence where our individual lives and property are legally dominated by the fear of what others might do with theirs?
Where does the 80% rule currently in use end up? If I'm selling 80% finished lowers and a new rule makes them the same as an actual firearm, I'm going to be really tempted to sell 75% finished lowers. They can reset the legal limit, and I can offer another product that complies, on and on until the limit becomes 0%. Is that what we want? is that something we can afford to accept???
because things have to be treated equally under the law, or so we've been told our entire lives. Of course, we've also been told we are innocent until proven guilty, and as we've seen for many years now, gun owners are not being treated that way....
Inanimate objects (aka "things") are not evil. Nor are they good, they are neither, without the hand of man. Aren't we past the point where things are blamed for the acts of men? (apparently not yet..
) but
shouldn't we be???
