Right. In the same sense that a Subaru Legacy isn't considered a sports car, but with an engine / suspension change, it becomes one.
Regardless, the AR15 is not in any way considered a machine gun until and unless it has been converted to be one.
- maxerickson 10y agoYes, sloppy delivery on my part. The weapon in the link had apparently been converted and thus fell under the NFA. I was pointing at the NFA definition and included the broader provision in my summary, I didn't mean to imply that the convertibility would have been an issue in the incident being discussed.
- bmelton 10y agoNo worries, I just find it's important to be specific when dealing with firearms and legal terms, because the average person really doesn't understand these issues, and the political landscape is muddied by a bunch of folks who think they know things that are false.
