All of these comments are wrong and you sound very uneducated. - Certain states have serialization requirements and registration once a firearm is assembled (the slide is connected to the frame). - Many states require a permit to conceal ca

the fear mongering is real with this article, sheesh. anything can be a "weapon of war" if desired. actors are using broken up bike chains for shrapnel in IEDs. is my huffy a weapon of war? :/

i don't agree with any of the above. in fact, it's cringy, tbh. once you appreciate the dance that all functional teams perform in an organization, you'll experience true success.
