Taking a guess here, but I believe `922r compliant’ refers to the number of imported versus U.S. made parts which make up a legal semi-automatic firearm. Usually applied to AK-47 lookalikes where an American made receiver is built into a rifle using imported parts. IIRC, at least six component parts must be U.S. made.

All this is subject to change under the incoming New Order. But the Anointed One may just have too full a plate for the time being.

I took a look and it seems that the Clinton gun ban wasn't all the damage they did back then -- they apparently amended the old 60's Gun Control Act and stuck this "if it has AK parts in it, it's an AK" clause in there, to prevent gunsmiths from smithing their way around the ban on imported AK's, FN/FAL's, Galils, etc.

It's a content-based restriction the point of which was to support Clinton's gun-ban legislation, but it apparently was done as a modification to USC elsewhere and was not subject to the Clinton ban's sunset provision.

Someone was being flat nasty when they thought that up.

Now you've got legally imported legal guns that are being snagged by the 922(r) clause even though they're legal, because NIB they contain too much "prohibited" content, i.e. foreign parts on the Klintoon hate-list.

Ain't that rich? Another liberal Catch-22.

Well, it looks like Jan. 21 might be a good date to get all this stuff done by -- no telling what executive orders his little Red termites have got already typed up for his signature.

Welcome to East Germany, ca. 1970.
