Personally I think the judges logic is right on the money.

The ATF has been bastardizing the definitions for decades in favor of more control.

I took it another way. Strange how we can all look at the same thing, and interpret what we see so differently. You are right in that “The ATF has been bastardizing the definitions for decades in favor of more control”, but I saw it as another good reason for less government in that overall this decision protects BIG government, and doesn’t help protect the citizenry one iota as the judge literally swapped our safety to protect BIG government gun control.

As I said before, under strict interpretation of the statute then even the 1911 has no legally-defined frame or receiver.

I highly doubt that strict of an interpretation of the law would hold up on appeal.
