feds drop cases against lower recivers?
where could this eventually lead?
receivers not being the "firearm", thenhow will they make the definition ?
" U.S. Attorneys have quietly dropped at least two cases against individuals charged with illegally possessing a lower receiver after two different federal judges ruled that the lower receivers do not meet the federal definition of a firearm "

Interesting - a (presumably serial numbered) lower receiver is NOT a firearm
- but a plastic buttstock is a machinegun.
Than can't be right. :roll:0 -

You can bet your bippy the ATF is scrambling to try to classify the upper as the firearm. That's going to get problematic of course, but you can bet Trump will back it and the MAGA hat wearing crowd will cheer.0 -
Both of the dropped cases involved 80% lowers which are not firearms. More fake news. 0 -

Well, the most recent involved 80% lowers that were converted. Not exactly fake news.0 -
This article was actually an interesting read. The slant is obvious and ignorable.
