no. I read as no change in the law. Serialize and FFL when/if you want to sell/gift it away.So when I read this, it seems like we will have to go through a background check when we buy 80% lowers. Does that seem correct to anyone else?

I see your point. Buying a lower is not manufacturing in my mind. The assisting in manufacturing I read as the same law as now. I am not a lawyer, not even on TV.So the bolded language is what concerns me:
Would selling an 80% lower be allowing someone to manufacture the "untraceable firearm"? If so, it would seem like a background check would be required. None of the articles really mention this aspect of the law.
- (1) No person may knowingly or recklessly allow, facilitate, aid, or abet the manufacture or assembly of an undetectable firearm or untraceable firearm by a person who: (a) Is ineligible under state or federal law to possess a firearm; or (b) has signed a valid voluntary waiver of firearm rights that has not been revoked under RCW 9.41.350. For purposes of this provision, the failure to conduct a background check as provided in RCW 9.41.113 shall be prima facie evidence of recklessness.
Playing the Devil's advocate, If my friend lets me use his mill; on my own; he's supposed to run a background check? How, whose definition? He's just a guy with a mill in his garage. No FFL, no interest in guns...I see your point. Buying a lower is not manufacturing in my mind. The assisting in manufacturing I read as the same law as now. I am not a lawyer, not even on TV.

I think we need a law that says they need to show evidence that an object has a significant lethal impact before they can ban bubblegum. How many printed or guns that began as 80% recievers have been used in crime? Of that crime, what is the proportionality compared to other items used to facilitate the same crime? The burden needs to be on the state to show a need before they ban and regulate.
I'm surprised he is even in the state. I figured he'd be attending fundraisers in DC and other states....
It is even possible to conduct a background check for an 80% lower? You're not transferring an item defined as a firearm.
In the case of "allowing, facilitating, aiding or abetting" you're not transferring any physical item at all.

Now it is completely assembled and contains X% of metal and is assumed to be 'detectable' as this point?
