I have a couple AR-15 pistols. I like them for a short lightweight option for an old fella like me. However this legal ping pong of legality is pissing me off! Keep them or sell them ?

why would you sell them...?

The most ridiculous part is the rule of not storing braces, short barrels, and lowers in proximity to each other because of the potential to make an SBR.
Our tax dollars are funding bureaucrats who make up arbitrary rules to restrict constitutional rights.

Why would you give a flying fuck about any of that illogical, unconstitutional, arbitrary idiocy?

For fucks sake, stop with the hand wringing and live free.   None of that shit matters.

You don't think they would have tagged on a charge to Kyle Rittenhouse if he had used an "illegal" weapon?

As long as they only have red dots they should be fine. If I read between the lines scopes are a no go.

Not a rule, but there is legal precedence for charging people for "constructive possession"

No, and that's a particularly poor counterpoint given, by their very nature, FRTs are an attempt to have psuedo-FA capability while remaining legal.

Although I really doubt with as much flip flopping as the ATF has done any of it would stand up in court. It's really going to be an add on charge if you are say caught with illegal MGs or something.

Why not register them as SBRs? It's free, you just submit a form.

Some say, a righteous shoot is a righteous shoot.
There is a "Republican" district attorney in NY who charges every person involved in a self defense shooting with any firearm charge they can find. He admits he's anti gun and does it to discourage gun ownership.

They'll also get a warrant and search your house if you're involved in a shooting with an illegal gun on the street and charge you with any illegal guns or magazines they find

(I'm sure that's true in many/most counties in
NY)

FPNI. Just shoot them OP. Don't overthink it. And don't write a letter.

Turn them into firearms and forget all about pistol legality?
