Yep it makes absolutely no sense. But be careful not to fall into their warped way of looking at the world.
If you have an AR, it is most likely to be a boring old sporting rifle. It isn't an MSSA unless it meets the big mag, flash-hider, lug, stock, grip definition.
Realistically, if anyone is worried, get yourself a spare bolt, some spare gas rings, an ejector, an extractor or two, and maybe a buffer spring and charging handle.
These are the only bits that are likely to break/wear out in an AR, and if you have them set aside, you'll be good for pretty much the working life of your rifle and it won't make a blind bit of difference what the retards in Wellington come up with to mess with imports.
