Correct. You can build and own an unserialized firearm, but it's illegal to sell it that way.It's my understanding that a serial number is already required for transfer of a gun
they arent illegal to sell when done properly. just like selling any firearm (except black powder currently).Correct. You can build and own an unserialized firearm, but it's illegal to sell it that way.
Golly... it almost sounds like they're some kinda control freaks, don't it.
Well the ATF says it is recommends that a serial number be added, but not a requirement.. This makes no sense to me. It's my understanding that a serial number is already required for transfer of a gun. An FFL wouldn't want a non-serialized gun on their books in the first place. Does anyone have an insight into this? I'm off to do other weekend stuff now.
EDIT: Grammar and new thought.
It is already. Manufacturing is not the same as making.I'm also surprised that they aren't trying to make it illegal to manufacture a firearm without a license.
So your against someone manufacturing a firearm without asking big bro for approval?I'm surprised they don't go down the "intent" path. Not that I want them to, but it would please the brainless mobs. If an object is built with or sold with the intention of being used as a receiver, then it needs a serial number. Not that it would stop the dedicated, but it would make it more difficult to source all the parts, and make complete build kits go away.

Fortunately, that cat's out of the bag, so to speak. It's already illegal to kill, for a felon to own a firearm, to give a firearm to a felon, and for prohibited persons to carry a gun in public.
Evidently, those laws are just too complicated for some to comprehend. I'm sure this vaguely written new regulation will clear the air and put a stop to these unfortunate misgivings.
No, I'm not. You completely misread my post.So your against someone manufacturing a firearm without asking big bro for approval?
founding fathers shaking their heads at you. You should probably just hand over those firearms at the next buy back, and get a fishing pole, because that AR isn't for hunting(same boat).
