Gun Control & RKBA

SOME civilian AR-15's can be fitted so, made prior to 1986. SOME. With complete replacement of available parts, with M-16 parts which you cannot legally purchase or possess without NFA registration and a 200$ tax stamp, and only if the parts were made before 1986.

That means making an auto-sear, bolt, carrier, and most of the trigger group. That's almost half of the gun, from a production standpoint. So yes, if someone MAKES a fully automatic weapon, they have a fully automatic weapon. Thanks for that brilliant addition to the conversation.



Again, you have no idea what you are talking about. You cannot add metal components that are missing, with a file. If you want to manufacture a new part out of new metal with a file, that's possible, but the gun might well detonate in your hand due to poor workmanship/materials and bad timing on the cycle of the action.

'Conversion Kits' are not readily available, and simple possession of the kit without even installing it in a gun is a 10 year felony, in federal prison, do not pass go do not collect 200$.


Only in weapons made after 1986, per the law, and BATFE. (Such weapons would be illegal)



No, there are about 9 million AR-15's in circulation. There are tens of millions of center-fire rifles in circulation of the precise feature set/specifications in operation. AK-47 clones, AR-10's, well the entire AR platform really, Mini-14's, mini 30's, SCAR's, FN-FAL, yadda yadda etc.



Challenge rejected on the basis no one claimed that except you.


Lever-action center fire rifles are #1, semi-autos like the AR are #2, so not even close to 90%. You are WAAAAY off.
