Delete comment from: The War on Guns
Richard Vasquez and Ashley Hlebinski were both unhelpful to the purpose of this hearing, that being to advance additional regulation on personally made firearms. It was unfortunate that there were so few informed Republicans in the hearing to ask questions and peel back more of the layers. On the other hand, I was unaware of the magnitude of the 80% receiver market. I'm actually pleasantly surprised to discover how many are available. A major factor that was not addressed during the hearing is that all the actions described regarding purchase of these kits and components at gun shows are already illegal for those prohibited from possessing a firearm. Putting a serial number on them doesn't make obtaining and carrying them any more illegal.
