    Mhm, theres tons of people who have been imprisoned who have done what you outlined in your asterisk there and it did not work out for them in court.

    There are also people who the DA neglected to bring charges against at all, and people sometimes get acquitted for the same crimes another gets convicted for, with the same or similar evidence, because the jurors voted differently or the lawyers in one were better than the other. Welcome to the American justice system. I notice you glossed over the part where I said “but I wouldn’t try that myself” too, interesting.

    Regardless of how it /should be/, I am worried about /existing reality/,

    Ok, well as reality currently exists you can manufacture any arms you can legally own for yourself. You can even manufacture suppressors if you do the right forms, engrave the relevant info, and pay your $200 extortion fee. Yes “all those other laws that apply still apply, you can’t legally murder someone with it either, duh, and your entire comment is just Mr. Obvious bullshit.”

    All the laws regarding all firearms are everchanging because people keep attempting pointless feature bans and the ATF who cannot legally regulate as they are not a regularory agency keeps changing their “rules” that totally aren’t “laws” even though they carry 10+yr prison sentances specifically to make gun ownership undesirable. Welcome to gun ownership “ghost” or otherwise. This doesn’t make the statement that “actually gun files are legal to have, you can even legally print them” false just because you read into it too hard and assume that means it allows you to break other laws.
