So lets hypothetically say I have 2 fully completed AR15 lower receivers, but no uppers or upper parts for either of them yet. Of course, I sold all of my firearms in a private face to face transaction a couple of weeks ago, so this is purely hypothetical...
So with that as a context, I have a question. We can't predict the the wording of any future "Assault Weapons" Ban(s), but we can look at past precedent. Under the previous Assault Weapons Ban of 1994, was it legal to purchase, sell, or manufacture banned items (bayonet lugs, collapsible stocks, pistol grips, magazines with a capacity of more than 10, shoulder things that go up, and other scary looking items) for firearms already owned by an individual? Or was it simply illegal to manufacture new firearms with those scary looking features, and put aftermarket scary looking features on new "post-ban" manufactured firearms?
In other words, under the ban, could you walk into a gun store and buy a newly manufactured collapsible stock (for example) for a "pre-ban" lower receiver? Or was it illegal to manufacture a new collapsible stock?
