    Wait are you telling me it is legal to construct and possess a fully automatic firearm without a class three license?

    Or say, already own a firearm, and then construct a modification that makes it fall out of compliance with local laws by making it fully auto, having a magazine that is too large, or a bump stock or things like that?

    I am certain the situation is more complex than you seem to think, hence the semi-ironic disclaimer.

      While NFA items are a different story, you’re generally allowed to manufacture anything you could legally buy in a store. So no suppressors / SBRs / destructive devices without the appropriate paperwork & tax stamps, no machine guns without all that and a time machine, and no fun allowed if you’re a prohibited person. Other than that, there’s nothing* stopping you from printing, say, a semi-automatic rifle with a 16 inch barrel or a glock frame.

      *Federally. Also, I am a dumbass and not a lawyer, do your own research.
