A friend of mine just did this and I'm thinking of doing it too. https://www.80-lower.com/how-to-legally-build-unregistered-ar-15/
It is a nice project, it can get spendy as you gain experience machining, the drill and router method seems best.
When the time comes to ban and grab them it won't matter if they are registered or not. I've thought about the 80% lower idea, but it would take up too much of my time to make and not make it cost effective.
When it comes the time for Government to illegally attempt take guns away from law abiding citizens, it will be a moot point, our civil liberties will also have been suspended and it will be time for gallant action of brave people everywhere, to recover our lost freedom from despotic and tyrannical Government.
I wish such words were not becoming a wider resolve. The 80% lower idea has been very popular in the gun grabber states for several years now. Even thinking about it forces us to consider the broader meaning of a situation where we had to actually engage in "recovering our lost freedom". The truth is that our tyrannical and despotic Gov. would be moving in NATO troops, because American troops would be loyal to Americans. Tens of millions would die. After the major conflict, America would look more like Libya than anything worth keeping.
Yes, with a pantograph engraver, I prefer that method to stamping. - - - Updated - - - I conducted an untold amount of interviews with Police & Military personnel, most would mutiny before following an unjust order.
The soldiers I know would fight on their own accord if it came down to this. The UN blue helmets will be the only ones that work for an organization that designs to disarm the world. Buy blue paint for all your steel targets. Get used to shooting blue.
Look at the organized Sheriffs in places like CT, where they refuse to enforce the unconstitutional AR ban. This is why the Gov. would be using NATO troops. Also, I think it was in 2004 when we entered an agreement with Canada where the US and Canada agree to host troops from each-others' Countries in the event of civil unrest. I tried googling for "North American military agreement", and nothing comes up now. It used to.
This is nothing new. It's been going on for years. You can also build 80% 1911's. Completely legal as long as you don't try to sell it.
The number of your police officers who use civil asset forfeiture laws to deprive private individuals of their legally owned property without charges or trial would suggest otherwise.
So, I got the big idea to try that again. NSA didn't get everything! This is very much worth reading: http://www.newswithviews.com/NWV-News/news38.htm If you don't like my source, try your own search, using key words: "North American military agreement". These guys paraphrase well enough though.
The 80% lower thing is interesting but the real question is whether they will allow public ownership of metal 3d printers once they become more affordable.
"It's hard to believe that Americans and Canadians will go along with this agreement," opines conservative strategist Michael Baker. "That's why [there's] all this secrecy. Has anyone heard Clinton, Obama or McCain complain about this significant policy shift? All three of these presidential hopefuls are in the US Senate, yet not a peep from them about a foreign army being called to 'police' US neighborhoods under the guise of an 'emergency,'" he said. I got a feeling both .Gov's are underestimating the amount of mutinies they will have. I presume enough mutely to make occupying and controlling an impossibility. Sure they got drones and ours too operate legally at home. But that won't calm down a revolution. Drone only war hasn't done (*)(*)(*)(*) to end AQ or ISIS. And I also presume American fortitude will overcome. But none of that hope means (*)(*)(*)(*) compared to our military hierarchy is treasonous and fearful of Reguime change.
So much goes on "out of sight and out of mind". I like to ask people from Commiefornia how they like living in a drone zone? They think they know what I'm talking about, but they don't. A drone zone is a city that has entered an agreement with the feds to allow spy drones to operate in their airspace, in exchange for subsidies and other political favors. One of the primary functions of these drones is to identify individual cell phone signals, each time they ping for a tower. This helps the Gov. to develop "better" attack abilities, so they can target a mini gun on the cell phone signal, rather than wasting the whole trip just to fire a single hellfire missile. Kill your "smart" phone!
Saw a Predator land there, up close. Won't say where for security , but they do fly over Cali and the whole border region between Mexico. They also set up fake cell towers to intercept all calls and text. https://www.aclu.org/map/stingray-tracking-devices-whos-got-them Pretty sure the NSA knows if you have a 80% build if you ever used a credit card to purchase or a gun show for parts. Making the idea of unknown useless , but we all need to be armed and ready so who gives a (*)(*)(*)(*) what they know. Come and take it, fuvkers.
That is another issue entirely, seizing the assets of known Drug Dealers, and Drug houses etc... Is hardly in the same league as Declaring legally owned firearms illegal, as a precursor to installing FEMA as the provisional Military Government and suspending all civil rights and sending soldiers to collect all legally owned civilian firearms.
Interesting, when I tried that link my security went ape crap. Said do not open, this site contains malware and will attack your computer
