Which is ridiculous.

You can carve one out of sheet metal in a couple minutes. This won’t stop evil people.

Even worse, a self centering punch and 5 seconds can turn your AR-15 into an illegal automatic weapon as far as the ATF is concerned (just punch approximately where the auto pin would go).

The only people affected by these garbage laws are the ones who aren’t interested in harming anyone.

You can murder a person with the same level of effort.

The only people affected by these garbage laws against murder are the ones who aren’t interested in harming anyone.
