Major firearm part.

It doesn't matter what the law says, it matters how the police interpret it & chose to enforce it
So not barrels then by the looks.
Pretty much action related
My personal opinion - we should not draw attention to the inconsistencies..essentially the prudent approach is to refer to the least restrictive wording or interpretation in any of the official info…
One of the certainties of policy is that where there is ambiguity, it will be replaced by complexity.
Why would the regulator, who should know the law and regulations, make it clear to those they are regulating?
The good thing about ambiguity is they can apply any meaning to it they want and be correct in their minds.
Their aim seems to be to mislead LFO's and get as many firearms registered as soon as possible so they can claim it a success and they have data in the database so they can see if it works and improve it as they see fit.
Why would you register any firearm if you haven't triggered an event to cause you to I am unsure, at present the database is beta 1.0 in 2 years time it will most likely be trial ver 5.5 and by 2028 it will probably be trial ver 25.9 I think I'd rather wait and enter my data when they have ironed most of the bugs out of it.
Also in 2028 if they only have 30% of the firearms owners that have registered their firearms I would think they would go into panic mode and possibly open up different processes to register your firearms.
What happens if your wife, who has a FL but doesn't own any firearms buys ammunition, what does she have to register?
why would she have to register ANYTHING????...at this point in time you dont need a firearm registered to your name to enable you to purchase ammunition for it..... maybe in theory for a handgun..but not for longarms.
I bought a similar point up before. You only have one firearm and you sell it what is there to register?
I do wonder how many private sales of arms & ammo would be registered and therefore be trigger events.
