The AR15 is not today, and has never been a military weapon. Not sure how people are still confused on this. Now the M4 platform is whole other story.

| Re: Department of Justice rules that plans for 3D printed gun parts are protected und absolutely 150% correct. Uneducated activist lump the AR platform in with the M4/M16 platform because of the similarity in their appearance. Now, you can interchange a few parts and have yourself a military grade weapon, but you can also turn cow shit into a bomb if you desire. Just because a weapon is a carbine design does not make it a military weapon. Aside from the materials used in their construction and their appearance, your standard AR-15 is less destructive than my Browning 270 I deer hunt with, which is also a semi automatic rifle that is magazine fed.

I saw this on Facebook. It was a repost from the all too Liberal "Wired" magazine. People were freaking out. I love it! I'm blown away by this ruling, but I surely approve and support it. We need our freedoms preserved.

| Re: Department of Justice rules that plans for 3D printed gun parts are protected und To the thinking person (yes, I realize what I just said), the AR-15 is obviously a civilian version of its military M-16 counterpart or the M-4 variant. What military would want a battle rifle lacking selective full automatic fire?

This decision is great news, but I'm not sure it holds the kind of weight that the conservative sites are touting. If the court had ruled in favor of Wilson, that would be big. If SCOTUS ruled in favor of Wilson, it would be HUGE. The DOJ giving up doesn't really carry much weight. I suppose it eases the noose a little bit until the next administration takes control of the DOJ. |

| Re: Department of Justice rules that plans for 3D printed gun parts are protected und That must be fairly recent. I know they used to intentionally separate the two. Thanks for correcting me, I learned something on the internet today. And I mean that sincerely.

The only real differences between the select-fire military variants and the semi-auto versions that us common folk are allowed to have, are the trigger group, the bolt, and how the back of the lower receiver is machined. Everything else is the same and interchangeable. You can label it how you'd like, but from a parts compatibility perspective, those are the only differences. From a functional perspective however, those minor differences are obviously quite substantial. |

Honda is big into formula 1 racing and have been for a very long time. A lot of the functional components on those formula 1 cars are similar in design and appearance to those of your run of the mill honda civic. Now, although some similarities exist, some striking and glaring differences also exist that makes the honda formula 1 car and the honda civic two very different animals, one of which is illegal for the average joe to drive, while the other is perfectly legal and well within our grasp. You don't see activists trying to have automobiles outlawed because they share similarities to high performing purpose built race machines. Now obviously this is a far stretch, but you see the point I'm trying to make with the comparison I'm sure. | |

Part numbers for bolts and trigger groups are different, the bolt is interchangeable but trigger group is not.
