STOP! JUST STOP.Everybody thinks I'm an A-Hole for asking these questions.
I don't want to be an A-Hole.
I just have a VERY short memory.
I can't even remember what I had for lunch yesterday.
I need to have the rules written down in front of me because I keep forgetting.
Everyone has a different interpretation.
GOAL and lawyers.
Gunshops.
Informed buyers who know loopholes.
I think I'm going to put this hobby on ice for a while until things get ironed out.
I'm not going to buy anything new because it's too hard to know how to stay out of trouble.
I may be dumb but I'm not being obtuse.
To be obtuse, I would have to have intent and doing it on purpose.
Trust me, I'm not that smart.
I'd be an awful criminal or mafia member. When people "wink wink" / "nudge nudge" - I don't always get it.
I am used to dealing in Black and White rules so these new laws are very confusing to me.
I don't think there are any other laws in this country that are so convoluted.
Years ago, I had a hobby of selling Glock mags. My mags were pre ban and had specific markings that I could show in the Glock reference manual that explained why they were pre ban. I still consider myself a expurt in that subject matter. I was not dealing in ambiguous mags that came out later down the road.
I'm the type of person who would accept bad news that was true rather than an unclear answer.
I just wish we could all get on the same page.
Here is a prediction...
When post 98 Glocks were banned, the supply was cut and everybody was crazy about serial numbers.
Then some dealers just didn't care and new Glocks began to circulate. Most of those dealers never got in trouble and nobody was charged.
Maybe this will happen with post 8/1 AR's.
If no dealers get in trouble, maybe more dealers will start importing new AR's and sell them on the down low to certain trusted buyers who know the secret hand shake.
I think this law is a way to just keep everyone scared. It the state ever charges anyone - and those folks fight back in court - and the whole law will collapse. So they will not charge anyone.
So, maybe dealers at the Mill with their high powered lawyers would like to buck this new law and sell new AR's.
