PA Attorney General Says 80% Receivers Are Firearms

[livingston]

Pennsylvania’s Attorney General Josh Shapiro issued an opinion declaring that 80% lower receivers are considered firearms and are therefore subject to all the relative laws of complete firearms. This comes in response to a request for advice from the Pensylvania State Police Commissioner, Colonel Robert Evanchick.

“My Office is taking the initial step of clarifying – through my official, legal opinion – that under Pennsylvania law, 80% receivers are firearms and can be treated, regulated, and enforced as such,” Shapiro said Monday. “The proliferation of these untraceable weapons strikes at the heart of our public safety, hindering law enforcement’s ability to protect ohttps://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/pa-attorney-general-80-receivers-firearms/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=20191220_FridayDigest_257g&utm_campaign=/digest/pa-attorney-general-80-receivers-firearms/ur communities. Today, we take the first step in addressing this problem.”

Thankfully for the people of Pennsylvania, he was elected AG and not pope, so his opinions are not infallible.

No, but as he believes he controls the might of the State Police, his opinions are to be considered a threat. Just like Hans Cuomo.

People like you and I don't have the unending bundles of $$$ to defend ourselves from unConstitutional laws and lawsuits. Nor do we have the bundles of $$$ necessary to hire armed protection like these rampant tyrants do.

Go ahead and ban funny shaped hunks of metal. They better ban scrap metal and blocks of wood, too!

 

[ProgSpear]

LOL!!! Dude, I think .MIL has honed your sense of humor! You know, all that lying around and thinking of shit...

I know I may be in the minority here but that wood lower is kinda sexy. Needs a different build out rather than all the black, but I see promise there.

I bet a nice laminate treated with stabilizing resin might work well and look awesome!

If you can find a place that isn’t scared by the cease and desist letters that Tish James send out in October, yes.

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

Uh oh.

We're one step closer.

I'm seriously considering putting together a PDF with instructions for assembling a shotgun from the 80% receivers home depot sells in the plumbing aisle.

I wonder if their new rules will apply to them ?

It wouldn't hurt to have a few dozen for the next 'don't ask don't tell' gun buy-back.

I'm trying to decide between some slam fire super cheapie that you can assemble completely from hardware store parts, or something more refined (and robust) that uses real gun parts.

If the idea is just to deal with the 80% receiver, you can make something that uses an AR LPK and a real barrel.

If you are going for "maximum cheap and easy" then a slam fire with a black iron pipe barrel is the answer.

[FirstRifle]

If I can't order an 80% lower, can I order a 79% lower? If not 79%, then what about 78%? 77%? 76%? ....... 0%?
