HARRISBURG, Pa. Businesses that manufacture frames that can be built into working firearms sued Pennsylvanias attorney general on Friday, five days after he issued a legal opinion classifying the products as guns under state law.
The Commonwealth Court lawsuit asks a state judge to stop the state police from implementing any new policy, including background checks, based on the written opinion the agency received Monday from Democratic Attorney General Josh Shapiro.
Mr. Shapiro told state police to treat unassembled ghost guns, gun frames also referred to as 80% receivers, as firearms.

People may feel good electing Democrats to get back at those mean Republicans. But they pay. Boy, do they ever pay.

My State banned mags with over 10 rounds for rifles recently. Now we order magazine ‘repair kits’ that come with five pieces that we’re not supposed to put together. Similar to what our ancestors did with ‘wine bricks’ during prohibition.
The American entrepreneur will always be a few steps ahead of those who seek to ban everything.

My goal is gain the skills to turn a block of metal into a usable lower and perhaps other parts.
Some bits could prolly be 3D printed.
