“Do homemade guns circumvent any firearms laws?”

Sure. Most of them. The 9th Circuit even ruled that if you make your own machine-gun, the Federal laws do not apply because it is not interstate commerce. Unfortunately, I believe that BATF hard lobbied most states to copy the federal legislation. That was probably not legal, but when did the BATF worry overmuch about legality?

I never thought I’d agree with the 9th circus court.
