If Obama gets reelected and decides to reinstate the assault weapons ban what exactly would I no longer be able to buy for my ar15? Could I still buy a complete upper assembly? My understanding is that the lower is considered the "firearm". Does that mean that everything else would still be perfectly legal to buy? What about extended mags, forward grips, trigger assemblies etc.?
