Nice. What CEO did you choose?
It was a test shot, they probably just found a landlord or something.
That is wasteful. There are a lot of corrupt politicians out there.
Perfect is the enemy of the good.
Found Sam's mom!
Worth it.
That brings up an interesting point. If I manufacture and sell a gun as "the CEO annihilator", would it be legal? If not, why?
Probably legal, but not practical. Suppliers would probably start refusing to work with you. Payment systems too.
Suppliers don't ask what you're using the filament for. Let's say they did though.
Thanks to America's legal system, you can use shell companies to move filament around to separate the supplier from the actual intended use.
Oh, I love playing devil's advocate! (I want to make it clear I'm not arguing against you in any way, just bring up hypotheticals.)
Most large suppliers wouldn't care, but if you get to anything resembling scale I would be more worried about payment companies. The fact weed store managers (even in legal states) are often targeted leaving for the night tells you all you need to know about that.
I assume you would get suecided (Boeing style) before you would start production.
I'm not a lawyer, but you'd need a #7(?) FFL, and serialized and register the gun before selling it, if I'm not mistaken. Keeping it for yourself is the only legal way to do it without a paper trail. Also, some states have banned even that.
Just playing devil's advocate again, not seeking anything see resembling smoke. But if they sell them as incomplete lowers, that should be fine so long as they don't include functional hardware.
The 80% kits have been banned iirc. It's all nonsense, but always be aware of the current local and federal laws before messing with this stuff
Not trying to be rude, but I want you to try ordering one.
Being able to purchase something doesn't mean it's legal.
Legally, yes it does.
I can purchase a lot of stuff that's illegal to buy.
Please provide receipts or shut the fuck up.
Do you think people just get drugs or illegal guns or whatever as gifts?
I'm sorry homie!
What I said was rude, and uncalled for.
But guns are more regulated than I think you believe. Even in the fascist states.
Thanks.
I didn't say they weren't fairly regulated. In fact, being purchased illegally implies they're regulated to some extent. Again though, you can illegally purchase them, obviously. Black markets exist, which means you can purchase things that are illegal to purchase.
I don't know if I'm trying to start an argument by saying this, but I don't think they are "fairly" regulated.
They are more arbitrarily regulated.
I'm not the only one to think so in my rural community. So I hope that gives you some hope for our country's future.
Yeah, I didn't mean fair as in equitable or reasonable. I meant it as in moderately, as in there is some regulation.
Rob Ski of the "AK Operator's Union" YouTube channel used to sell on his webstore a rifle optics package he dubbed the "Goatfucker Annihilator". I don't recall him ever getting in trouble for it but he hasn't sold anything like that for years. Presumably someone with the bare minimum amount of good taste advised him against it.
It was a Primary Arms prism optic paired with an RS Regulate mount IIRC.
If you go on PSA's website and look for stripped AR lowers, you'll probably find a bunch of crass shit like a " FJB-15." Point is, I think you could get away with it if you figuratively and literally stuck to your guns and didn't make specific threats.
Assuming you had the proper licenses, it would be legal, but I suspect you'd find you'd get shut down through pressure from other directions. Almost nobody would be willing to facilitate that manufacture and sale.
