Not sure why I have this stuck in my brain this morning, but to me 18 U.S.C. § 922(r) is one of the least logical rules ever. Basically you cannot assemble a non-sporting semi-automatic rifle or shotgun with more than 10 imported parts. There is more to it than that, but in a nutshell that is the case. I’m not sure why it came to be in the first place. I’m also not sure who deems something non-sporting. The ten count is what really has me scratching my head. I mean if you find an awesome foreign-made pistol grip you could suddenly find yourself out of compliance when you swap it for the one on the firearm if that makes your foreign parts count 11 or more. I’m not assembling anything, so it doesn’t really concern me, but I just don’t get it and we should eliminate rules which are not logical on some level.
