TTAG can't even tell the difference between statutes and regulations. Reading TTAG causes brain damage.

"former firearm technology instructor" says...
who the heck is that, a "Hot dogs, Horseshoes, and Hand Grenades" instructor? (for those that get the reference). For the subject matter, that sounds as authoritative as "a random truck driver says..."

This almost has the quality of a bot writing it.

As the dirty Senator said in Shooter, “The truth is whatever I say it is.”

We do not live in a system where there is justice or true rule of law (for most of our laws are unjust and therefore no law at all). People should simply act in a manner where they have accepted the consequence before it occurs. Looking to a bureaucracy for sense is like looking to a freshly cleaned Portapotty for Blue Raspberry Koolaid.

If ATF complies with the recent decision in a court case having to do with this, we shouldn't need to go to an FFL to buy serialized complete lowers anymore. That would be very decent. Not sure what the ATF will do or if the court case is entirely conclusive.

If we shove a carrot in a horse and a unicorn popped out, we'd be able to fly to work too. :p

Basically, it's a lower court decision, there's 0.0% chance of an appeals court endorsing it - law doesn't work consistently, judges write precedence simply to conform to their desired outcome, 100% of the time - and with an appeals court, the panel's BEST CASE desired outcome is to keep lowers on 4473's. Worst case is the panel wants to make all split frames, e.g. lowers and uppers illegal... and tries to use the opportunity.

[spqrzilla]

No, Will, that is not what will happen. The single court case is not decisive. Its not precedential at all. And its unlikely that the judge's reasoning would convince any appeal court.

It would not be good if upper receiver became the serialized part.

Reading TTAG kills brain cells. Friends don't let friends read TTAG.

I think you'd need a pegasus for that.

Red Bull, silly you.

[Gman]

It gives you wings. That's probably easier to find than pegasus.
