I'm not in the market for an AR, but I've become curious about the laws surrounding them. I've noticed that there are pistols, uppers, lowers, barrels, etc., and I know that all of that must be connected to the AWB of 1994-2004, right?. Can anyone point me to a decent source for the current status of federal laws on ARs? Yes, I could get on Westlaw and dig through the federal statutes, but I'm really just looking for an overview. The sources that I have found on the internet have not proven particularly helpful. (If I want the nitty-gritty, I will go read the statutes myself.) If I were in the market for an AR, could I just go down to my local gun shop and buy one (assuming that my state law permits it)?
