Very well said....
I agree way to many people on here lately throwing "That's illegal" phrase around. Part of that is there's a lot of knowledgeable people on this board and they see something that might be in a configuration that may be illegal so they have to voice their opinion so they can be the first to say "I caught it first". I have read a lot of posts about the laws and notice quite a few people misinterpret the law often. Then when they are drilled by some of our more knowledgeable members and they finally realize they are wrong they blame there ignorance on the way it is written. I'm the first one to admit when I misinterpret something and will always ask questions to find the truth. With the laws being to jacked up as they are you can have your head spinning off trying to figure some of this stuff out! As a courtesy to fellow gun owners here, I think we should e-mail privately when we think an issue is present that may be an infringement of the law. No need to stir the pot of there's nothing there to stir....as was the case recently with the milled off Bayo lug. John |

The whole, "how do I make suppressor/silencer/m16/etc." deal is really annoying. I tend to believe these are youngin' that can't even legally own a firearm yet. I definitely think folks should be discrete (email) members about potential illegal modifications. But I don't think the situation should be ignored, because there are some 'uneducated' folks (or stupid) out there, that do NOT know the gun laws, or choose to ignore them. But let's do as SR recommended and keep it discreet! Shouldn't be much of a problem, since most AR15.com people know their stuff... |

Save us from reasonable people. There is nothing reasonable about the gun laws, they are each and every one of them an infringement on our basic rights as Americans.
Not a single one of them help fight crime or keep us any safer, each one does exactly the opposite. I know better than every single government lackey and beurocrat as to what I need to protect my family and live my life as a good contributing citizen. So screw each and every one of their laws, even the oh-so-reasonable-ones. Do it for *your* children! |

Oops.
I asked about the bayo-lug on a post as a joke. I did assume it was legal considering who was in the pic. I did like the pic you sent as a response though. It gave me a good idea how to keep it legal while maintaining "the look". I would never actually point something like that out publically if I thought otherwise. It could only harm the cause. I'd of sent mail discretely. Ex-Junior ATF wannabe in training. Regards. [8P] |

Quoted: I see a disturbing trend amongst many of you. Lately whenever someone posts a pic of an AR with [b]neutered[/b] bayonet lug, a [b]compensator[/b] that looks like a flash hider or even a [b]fixxed[/b] position telestock, many people here will scream "That is ILLEGAL, the feds will bust YOU!!!" Well I don't know how anyone could tell by just a pic on the internet (unless its a close up of the receiver markings & serial number) how anything could be pre or post ban. Now if a guy says "Look at my new post ban!" and the pic obviously shows an un-neutered bayo lug, a birdcage, or short barrel, I see no problem in pointing out the obvious problems. Its not like there's any big secret; if someone at BATF sees it, they're going to spot the problems as quickly as any knowledgable member here would. Its not like the people at BATF are looking to us to spot the illegalities for them - they already know what they're looking for. I think it also serves a valid purpose in informing the newbies, lurkers, and less knowledgable members who may otherwise just look at the pic and think "I can do that to a post-ban? Cool!". If someone publicly points out the problem, it makes it less likely that some newbie will follow the example in the pic and make that same mistake. And yeah, I agree, the gun laws are unconstitutional, but you know what? They're still enforceable until the SCOTUS says otherwise. If you want to violate the law, thats your decision, but do it with your eyes wide open and knowing full well what you're getting into. Ok...my nomex underwear is on, flame away... |

Why are you automatically assuming the rifle is illegal? And if you really think its illegal, why not help your fellow gun owner out by sending a private e-mail rather than drawing attention to something that otherwise might go unnoticed? I think you have a very valid point,and one we should all pay a little more attention to. |

Anothergene, why would anyone pay a fine for exercising one of their constitutional rights?
If the chowderheads in washington got together and decided that we would have to ban religon or curtail free speech, would we even be having this conversation? I think not, I think we would see it as the infringment that it is. I have yet to see a gun law I agree with, if I don't agree with it, I sure as hell am not going to follow it. in all conscience, would you? |

I say do what you want, just dont bother me about it. I dont care what people do and I think its a dumb law. I can tell the difference.
I also think that if you?re silly enough to want a FAKE bayonet lug on your post ban you deserve to be bothered by people?s responses. Why else would you want it, you like it catching on your gear? I even cut the real bayo lugs off of my pre-bans, I can?t imagine wanting one just for looks. The flash hider look-a-like muzzle breaks on the other hand serve a purpose and most people dont mention anything about them because they are commonplace now. EVERY PERSON I have seen with a fake bayo lug has told me the ONLY reason they have it is because it makes it look more like a pre-ban. Well if you want it to look like a pre-ban you better accept the fact that people are going to catch it and say something. I think some people here are starting to get a little whinny. Maybe you should accept the fact if you do something SPECIFICLY to be deceptive, you might just accomplish what you were after. Why would you be surprised by the outcome? Maybe it?s just me but anytime someone does something irrelevant (cosmetic in this case) and gets upset about the outcome. Then expects everyone else to change to make them happy. The first thing I think is SHUT UP YOU DEMOCRAT! On the other topic slipping onto this post. Telling people, on a PUBLIC forum, to break or ignore federal laws is just STUPID. Your opinions stain everyone else here in the eyes of "average Joe". Why would you try so hard to fit into the stereotype anti-gov, militia, law breaking gun owner that the anti's are trying to make every else think you are? I agree it?s a dumb law. I think under most circumstances you wouldn?t even get in trouble if you got caught with it. But why spout off like a fanatic? It seems to me your preaching to the choir. Sorry if my post is blunt or rude. No personal offense is meant. I?m having a bad day and this seemed like a good subject to blast off steam with. |

My point is, as long as we treat each other like jews in 1932 we can't expect anyone else to treat us any differently.
I am proud of my culture, I don't mind people knowing what that culture is. I am definately not going to hide it for government officials. I don't think it is being a fanatic to say that if a law is unjust, that we are morally obligated to ignore it. YMMV. It is a big country, more than room enough for all our opinions. |

The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. All laws limiting ownership or possession, or carrying of firearms are unconstitutional. How about this ? Federal Gun Laws can be circumvented by payment of a TAX a la the NFA. No person shall be denied the right to vote for failure to pay a poll tax or any other tax. Tax evasion, NFA Violations, AW Violations, etc. are all failures to pay a tax. In fact, the BATF is a branch of the treasury. They are IRS agents on steroids. Felonies cause a person to loose the right to vote, therfore, no firearms violation can be a felony under the 14th Amendment. Yet another reason firearms laws are unconstitutional Anybody hear of a 1970 Supreme Court decision regarding the Marijuana law, which was a tax law. In 1934, the Feds passed a law requiring a tax stamp to possess marijuana. In 1970, the Supreme Court overturned it and a new law was passed immediately to take its place. Now, what would happen if the Supreme Court were for any reason other than the 2nd Amendment were to overturn a gun law. The same thing would happen. A New law would replace it. The 1970 marijuana Law was wvwn more restrictive than the 1934 law. |

WHen they decdie that you are not allowed to discuss certain things, or to attend certain churches, unless you pay a tax (then they pass laws not allowing you to pay the tax anyway), who really cares, you didn't need to say "those things" anyway, and hell, one god is pretty much the same as any other, no problem in switching, right? The 2nd is as fundamental to us as any of the others, any infringment is cause to start killing the people who are doing the infringment. |

The 2nd is as fundamental to us as any of the others, any infringment is cause to start killing the people who are doing the infringment. I agree, but if you don't feel up towards following the laws of the land, than go to a new country. There are many countries in Africa, or the middle east, that allow MG ownership at the expense of several other freedoms. I'm all for my RKBA, but we're talking about folks cutting corners to own 'illegal' firearms with cosmetic features such as bayo-lugs or tele-stocks or flashhiders. This argument isn't about the right to bear arms, this is about some guy wanting a 'cool' M4 with a flash hider and all the neat goodies, but not willing to pay the extra dough for a preban. As far as 'illegal' MGs, do what you like, personally I pay my $200 tax and the ridiculous price for registered MGs, because I will follow the laws of the land (constitutional or not) so I don't end up in jail or worse. I'm not here to preach, but don't bitch to me when you get stuck in the slammer, getting butt-raped by drug dealers and murders, or when some over-zealous F-trooper blows the top of your skull off. You take the risks, you accept the possible consequences... |

One more thought...
It's the lazy, selfish people that say "f--k these unconstitutional laws, I'm gonna build me a machinegun." so he can go off into the woods, and blast off a couple of mags to impress his friends. A real 'freedom fighter' is the one who busts his ass writing letters, or drafts pro-gun legistlation, or fights gun laws in court, or spends his dough for the advancement of 2nd amendment causes, or even teaches his children how to shoot. THIS man is trying to change things so his children can have the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. If he has to fight a war someday he will, but in the meantime he will promote the 2nd to the best of his ability. |

Why do all of my AR's have telescoping stocks? Is it because I want to "be cool"? Nope, it is so that my 8 year old daughter and my 6 year old son can handle them effectively. How about the bayonet lug, do I want to attach a fed sticker to it? Nope, but I do find a bipod to be a convience, again for the childrens sake. As to your "I agree, but if you don't feel up towards following the laws of the land, than go to a new country. There are many countries in Africa, or the middle east, that allow MG ownership at the expense of several other freedoms." America Love it or leave it jingoism. I don't follow laws that are unconstitutional for the simple reason that they are not laws. Yes, fed-hit-men can come and take my life or liberty, but what you ask is a bit much. Tell me, when they say that you have to turn in your weapons, and make it law that you do so, what will you do then? |

So are you saying that you are too cheap to pay for a preban rifle, and instead you knowingly put yourself at risk of jail time for these features, under the guise of principle? Or are you a hypocrite, who pays for preban rifles for those features (out of fear of prosecution) but you like to talk tough about how you WOULD buy a post ban and add preban features??? Yes, fed-hit-men can come and take my life or liberty, but what you ask is a bit much. So you're saying you'll endanger your life, and that of your children (or at least risk leaving them as orphans), for the sake of a bayo lug??? I'm sorry, but you need to choose your battles better. If you get capped for a bayo lug, who's going to be left for the real fight??? Tell me, when they say that you have to turn in your weapons, and make it law that you do so, what will you do then? I think I answered that question already, I'm sure you've already drawn your own conclusion so why should I bother to sway your opinion of me??? |

I have no opinion of you, other than you seem to be a teenager who has all the answers, none of them based on facts or history.
It's ok, we all were there at one time in our life and most of us have outgrown it. Post-Ban? Pre-Ban? Are you saying that either of these terms have any meaning at all? You think that any gun law is constitutional? If they are not constitutional, then they are not laws. If they are not laws, why would you follow them? Let me venture a guess, becuase it is safer to do so? Right? |
