    FakeNews. Your made up fantasy is false. ZERO federal laws limit the number of firearms you may own or build (your state could be different). ATF, FBI or anyone else saying different are themselves breaking the law.

    100% WRONG and Fake News. If you can legally own it. You can build it. You can make as many firearms as you like so long they are for your personal use and not for sale. ZERO markings are required from the ATF. A simple Google search will tell you that you are full of BS.

  5. No it is to keep it out of the land fills. Even if it is fuel neutral. The net is that it does not go into the ground. Maybe excess heat/steam can turn a steam turbine generator and make electricity.

    The original bill that created this national FEMA alert was passed in 2006. Bush then signed a bill that modified it in 2008. The original test was scheduled to happen during the hurricane Florence. So it was moved to today. Just another opportunity to smear Trump.

    VERY IMPORTANT point. If you are legally able to buy/own a firearm (AK, AR, BB gun, Shotgun, Pistol, etc). You are 100% legally able to build yourself one or 100 of them. Just not for sale, must be for your own use. Making a gun for someone else would make you a manufacturer and need a Type 7 FFL. They would need to ban blueprints and STL files of gun receivers too. A CNC milling machine uses "flies from the web" also.

    ATF FAQs
    Does an individual need a license to make a firearm for personal use?
    No, a license is not required to make a firearm solely for personal use. However, a license is required to manufacture firearms for sale or distribution. The law prohibits a person from assembling a non–sporting semiautomatic rifle or shotgun from 10 or more imported parts, as well as firearms that cannot be detected by metal detectors or x–ray machines. In addition, the making of an NFA firearm requires a tax payment and advance approval by ATF.

    [18 U.S.C. 922(o), (p) and (r); 26 U.S.C. 5822; 27 CFR 478.39, 479.62 and 479.105]

  20. That is already ruled illegal in 2013 by the ATF. There was companies started to have "AR CNC parties". Get a group together. Pay a lump sum. Everyone shows up on a Saturday. Each person gets to press the green cycle start button on the CNC mill and make a receiver. Do some Google-fu on this subject. It is all about intent in the eyes of the ATF.

  21. You must make guns only for yourself. Make one for anyone else is illegal. You can "teach" someone how to build one on your equipment tho.
