No, I've done it. And because it was desert there wasn't another soul around. If I had run across guys with illegal firearms I sure as heck wouldn't return to that same spot.
Sure.
Not illegal if the OAL is 26".
How do you know they are unregistered?
Do you go up and ask for the users Class III license?
Other than a Glock conversion backplate, none of that stuff is illegal. Lawfully transferred auto sears, LL's, Form 1'd silencers are all perfectly legal under federal law.
I recommend finding a new group to shoot with or finding a better place to shoot.
No one is going to follow that "law" if it even happens
When laws are not commonly enforced people tend to ignore them. People routinely break drug laws, they don’t register their cars, they drive without insurance, they break traffic laws, they steal from their employer‘s, and the list goes on and on. Do you really think those same folks give a damn about federal gun laws that are not enforced and they probably don’t understand them anyway even if they did care.
Just watched the video listed in your sig, it is great!Seriously?
That would be news to the ATF, being that bumpstocks were redefined as machine guns a couple of years ago.
Please tell us what states they are legal to possess.

I was in a gun shop once a a few months back, the owner was talking to a guy about all the new gun regs on the horizon, the guy made an insinuation that he had all the "good stuff" buried deep in a hole. I mean I understand the idea of a cache and it's not really a bad idea if you are Michael Weston or Sarah Connor, I just couldn't help but wonder, for the average guy what good is all your "good stuff" if it's buried deep in a hole somewhere, likely inaccessible?I see a lot of places now selling at a discount 80 percent receivers. I am sure its a don't get stuck with something you can not sell. Like Bump stocks. The only thing you can do if you have one is to bury it.
You can't ban something ex post facto, years after it's become very popular
I can't say for sure, but I would doubt that bump stocks were as prolific as braced pistols. They have got to number in the millions by now. Maybe 10+million, idk. It does seem like every major AR manufacturer offers a braced pistol AR and that's after a pretty long steady while of standalone braces and kits being sold in huge numbers.Tell that to bump stock owners. Lot's of un-Constitutional stuff gets proposed.
No. I was just postulating that the sheer volume of devices "might" play a role in the outcome in terms of whether something is banned outright, existing devices grandfathered, etc... I do not know, but I suspect they have to calibrate restrictions, at least in part based on likelihood of compliance, logistics of enforcement, etc...@DustyGmt , so ex post facto bans are only bad as long as there is a certain level of popularity?
Huh? I''m not sure what the heck an "ex post facto" ban is. It doesn't make sense.....You can't ban something ex post facto, years after it's become very popular..
Read up on the Volstead Act.No. I was just postulating that the sheer volume of devices "might" play a role in the outcome in terms of whether something is banned outright......
Yeah but prohibition was back in the what, late 20's, early 30's and it's my understanding that it was repealed or rescinded or whatever a very short time after. I would assume, again, that the non compliance and all the collateral effects had something to do with it.Read up on the Volstead Act.
People might not turn them in but they aren't going to be using them either. No one wants to get jammed up for a felony by showing up to the range with the wrong hardware.
You know how we know you didn't read up on the Volstead Act? It wasn't repealed "a short time later"........but thirteen years later.Yeah but prohibition was back in the what, late 20's, early 30's and it's my understanding that it was repealed or rescinded or whatever a very short time after.
Non compliance doesn't repeal laws. Plenty of people continue to use, buy, transport, sell and manufacture numerous types of illegal drugs.I would assume, again, that the non compliance and all the collateral effects had something to do with it.
I didn't need to read the volstead act to come to the conclusion that it was a pretty short time frame, I thought it was like 10 years, but 13 years. OK. That's not really my point anyway, but that's pretty obvious. Also, We? Like the royal we? .You know how we know you didn't read up on the Volstead Act? It wasn't repealed "a short time later"........but thirteen years later.
Illicit drugs are not really an appropriate parallel/comparison, is it? But since you brought up the prohibition thing, you don't think the fact that it was wildly unpopular and the fact that everybody and their mother was breaking the law had to do with it being repealed?Non compliance doesn't repeal laws. Plenty of people continue to use, buy, transport, sell and manufacture numerous types of illegal drugs.
I don't think there was ever a huge demand for the product. They may be dumping them while still legal. And if the law never changes it isn't like they've lost a ton of money.
