No, the GCA68 applies across the board and was manipulated to attempt to regulate things that it didn't regulate.
...
I guess I didn't clearly understand the question -- I took it to be "why are prosecutors worried about recent rulings on whether the AR15 lower receiver is a reciever under Federal definitions?"
...What I'm wondering about is what benefits do the regulations have in the real world. My guess is that it's unquantifiable and therefore unjustafiable....
There are likely no real world benefits from the GCA but that there are benefits, is taken as a given. This law has been in place for half a century now and repealing it would be an incredibly hard sell.
