Definitely an interesting development, though, if the classification of an AR lower as a firearm is modified. If that takes hold, we will see new legislation very quickly. There's no way, given the current climate, that we'll end up with 100% complete, unserialized AR lowers (and everything else) available by mail w/o FFL.
That is the part of it that has always given me some concern. What exactly constitutes being in the business of selling firearms? Back when Odumbell first got elected and AK's, AR's and any other rifle of this type became hard to get, I started selling many of my extra.s to take advantage of double, triple and some times 8 fold profits. I never really found anything stating at what point the ATF considers one to "be in the business of selling firearms". Heck, I am still not sure what it takes.
It's what the ATF decides on a case by case basis. They don't have a set standard.
