Fair enough.

Joe Biden was also on that committee.

Joe Biden was on the Judiciary Committee, but this was a subcommittee that came up with the document. I’m sure the entire Judiciary Committee had to vote on the final results. I’d love to know who voted what, but I’m too busy to go searching. :-)

They all must have serial numbers for tracking/tracing purposes, they are recorded on the Federal Form 4473—or ‘yellow sheet’ at point of sale, new or used. Call a gun shop and ask.

Again, if I were on a jury, I'd laugh that charge right out of the room. We can get rid of this kind of stupidity by taking our rights as jurors seriously. If we do that enough, eventually the government goons will stop bringing charges on something ridiculous as that, and we could likely get it removed from the code.

I suspect that it will soon be challenged under Bruin, and be struck down anyway.

That is ‘early gun laws’, not early laws. Until Nat Turner’s revolt, many slave owners had slaves who were armed and hunted on behalf of their owners.
