80% lower sales just jumped.
I have always wondered whether an 80% lower when finished in Hawaii is a firearm or not.
"Firearm" means any weapon, for which the operating force is an explosive, including but not limited to pistols, revolvers, rifles, shotguns, automatic firearms, noxious gas projectors, mortars, bombs, and cannon.
So. if you mill an 80% lower into a target shooting device and engrave it with "for target shooting only" its not a firearm, because it was never designed or made to be used as such. Which IMO means no permit or registration needed. (#ImNotALawayer)
merriam-webster defines a weapon as :
1 :something (such as a club, knife, or gun) used to injure, defeat, or destroy
2 :a means of contending against another
