The state has apparently gone after a few people under FSA 2013 for things like non-HBAR AR-15s that don’t predate the ban. In a lot of cases it is open and shut. Too young to have owned a non-HBAR AR-15 preban? Well obviously you acquired it illegally.
Remember, it was a regulated firearm before, so you would have had to of been 21 before October 2013. So if you are 25 or under now and have a non-HBAR AR-15, according to MD, you got some ‘splaining to do.
If a prosecutor/police were curious about the provenance if you’d firearm, it is a real quick call to the manufacturer to determine the build date, then they can call the FFL that sold it initially and on down the chain till they get to you or a dead end. Anything along the way was post ocypher 2013 on the way and you are in possession of a banned firearm.
For an 80%, well within certain limits you can figure out somewhat who might have made the initial 80% before you machined it. If they weren’t making 80% or not that type before October 2013...
The effort probably gets to a point where cops or the DA just aren’t going to bother doing the forensics unless they are REAL determined to put you away for something. Do some other crime and get caught for it and you can probably be pretty sure they’ll end up being real determined to stack more charges on you.
Also as much as the law sucks, don’t make it easy on them by being a young whipper snap who could have never owned one legally, and now have on in your possession. Doesn’t take much arithmetic for a cop to put two and two together.
