Manifest Destiny

To rule that an AR-15 lower receiver was not a receiver would be "manifestly incompatible" with Congress' intent, they argued. [More]
And to rule that they are is manifestly incompatible with Founders' intent.

Any bets on our "beautiful Second Amendment" president issuing an EO directing ATF to make another rule change?

In light of his last one, let’s not push it.

ATF is also trying to tell outfits like Serbu and Safety hArbor, that a bolt action UPPER is a firearm, when it is an accessory to a "firearm" under their own interpretation. That would also make every AR upper also a firearm.

Logic simply doesn't apply when dealing with "control" laws, and the men to impose them.

""[BATFE retiree] O'Kelly brings an intrinsic understanding of the agency, the agency's arrogance, and its willingness to be deceptive," [defense attorney] Nicolaysen said."

The truth hurts sometimes.
