As effed up as the DC gun laws are, at least what defines “featureless” (I.e. not an assault rifle in gun grabber speak) for a semi-auto rifle is easy to understand vs. what might be considered banned in FSA 2013. I’m a DC resident, but frequent MD, so I like to make sure my purchases don’t violate the commie laws in either jurisdiction.
I currently have an Ares SCR, which even though it isn’t an HBAR, I understand it is GTG in MD since the lower is rather unique and not considered a copy cat of a FSA banned gun.
Where I get confused is with Thordsen stock ARs (e.g. https://www.dark-storm.com/dsi/ds-1...storm-ds-15-moe-featureless-5.56-rifle-black/). Am I correct in thinking that while I know this gun is legal in DC, that it would NOT be legal in MD without an HBAR since the lower is pretty much a standard AR lower?
What about pistol caliber carbines (e.g. https://www.dark-storm.com/dsi/ds-9/ds-9-moe-rifles/dark-storm-ds-9-moe-featureless-9mm-rifle-black/)? Does the HBAR requirement only apply to 5.56?
