In fact, the ATF stated as recently as Jan. 11 that “in any event, because receiver blanks do not fall within the plain meaning of the [Gun Control Act’s] definition of ‘firearm,’ the consequences of that definition are for Congress to address.” Thus, the Biden team’s attempt to regulate these kits would literally violate the law.[More]
Since when has that been a problem?
And guess who new regs won't deter...
Nice to see ShotSpotter finally caught some low-hanging fruit morons. $1.5M for that, eh?

I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on television. (apologies to Robert Young). However, IMHO, someone got thoroughly wrapped around the axle on this one. Two things I believe to be true, and I'm willing to be corrected.
1. An 80% receiver or frame is NOT A FIREARM, ghost or otherwise. As such, under current law, one CAN be sold to anyone, anywhere, at any time, without legal consequence.
2. Once said 80% receiver or frame is completed more than 80%, without jumping through the hoops needed to legally manufacture a firearm, per BATFE requirements, it cannot be legally transferred, much less sold, to anyone, at any time, under any circumstances.

Number 2 is 100% wrong. As long as you don't intend to make firearms to sell for profit, ie as a business, then you may transfer a firearm. Let's say you've heard how great this 80% grip is. You buy, build, try it out a few times and hate the way it feels, shoots, carry's, any legitimate reason, then you aren't bond to keep ownership of something you don't want.
I too am not a lawyer and do not give opinions as to matters of law. Mostly I just wanted to get my 100% joke in on a thread about 80% paperweights.
