ATF Backs Off on "Constructive Possesion" Nonsense

Ok, I might be the only gun owner who didn't hear about this ( I doubt it), but in July of last year ATF posted an explanation of their policies regarding assembling and reassembling of firearms such as AR-15s and TC Encore/Contenders between handgun and rifle configurations.

It has always been an understanding that, essentially, "once a rifle always a rifle" and converting a rifle (even if it started life as a handgun!) into a handgun amounted to creating a regulated, illegal "Short Barreled Rifle".

This is no longer the case...
