Not placing blame, but the law doesn't specify an age limit for receivers. The ATF has chosen to interpret it as 21, when it had previously been interpreted as 18.

I think if you read the law carefully, that you will be forced to come to the conclusion that whatever interpretation they may have made is the correct one, as absurd as it may seem on the face of it.
Its only fairly recently that sales of frames and receivers have really become common so they probably never thought much about it before. It also would not surprise me a whole lot to find that the Brady bunch or a similar group of hatemongers were the ones that actually brought it to their attention.
