PO's for Assault Weapons

[fabsroman]

Just want to get a feeling for what people are doing and feeling as far as the PO exception for assault weapons is concerned.

 

[Mr H]

I know of several people--myself included--who are just buying [extra] lowers in advance, and then be done with it.

Well, you know I'm in that group and way ahead of you on them. lol

I am really about done with what I want. About to pick up the phone as soon as I finish this post and order a JP CTR-02 upper/lower combo and then talk to my wife tonight about a FN FNX-45 that I will buy on gunbroker over the weekend. That will be it for me for these categories of guns until about 2031.

What's a PO?
Purchase Order? Police Officer?

 

[erwos]

Are we ignoring the licensing division notice or not?

PO

Purchase Order

Popular opinion trumps law and AG opinions

I have 2 AR15's, 1 lower and possibly buying 1 more lower. Even if I don't, I have what I wanted to get before the bs ban so I don't have much input on picking up after 1 Oct.

PO is a verifiable purchase order. Sorry, figured that everybody knew that as it pertains to this subject and assault weapons.

Which opinion? The response to Getty's inquiry that says somebody may continue to possess an assault weapon if they have a PO in place on or before October 1, 2013? Sure, sounds good.

I think that opinion letter leaves out the dealer side of the equation, but have at it.

I want people's opinion based upon whatever knowledge they currently have.

But is a lower that is released after October 1 able to be made in to an assault weapon? I have a PO for a lower, not specifically an assault weapon.

 

[ELEMENT94]

"Assault Weapons " are class 3.

 

[pilotguy299]

OK, so taking in to consideration:

is a lower that is released after October 1 able to be made in to an assault long gun? I have a PO for a lower, not specifically an assault long gun. Or will I only be able to build those in to a hbar?

 

[Mr H]

Once you own the lower, you own the "firearm", per BATFE.

The receiver is the gun. That is why you have to pass the background check to get it. If it has a serial number it is the gun.

BTW I think anybody who's gun is not at their FFL br Oct 1 is in for a big surprise

I know it's the gun, but it is an "assault long gun"? per the new maryland law? I could see the state arguing that a grandfathered gun was changed after the ban, and the new configuration is not legal if not made into a hbar.

Why do we continue to have this discussion about receivers and frames almost every day.

An Assault Long Gun is defined as a "firearm" that is on the list of 40 banned firearms.

The key word here is "firearm" in the definition of Assault Long Gun.

(h) (1) “Firearm” means:
(i) a weapon that expels, is designed to expel, or may readily be
converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; or
(ii) the frame or receiver of such a weapon.
(2) “Firearm” includes a starter gun.

By definition, the lower receiver of an AR-15 is a firearm, and since it is to an AR-15, it is also an Assault Long Gun. Do NOT let the GUN in Assault Long Gun fool you into thinking that an Assault Long Gun, be definition, must be the entire gun.

Thank you for clarifying it for me

He's referring to the MSP bulletin that states that it doesn't have to be in dealer inventory.
