Well...I'd certainly like to see how they can with a straight face claim that a stock in and of itself is a firearm. Since there are no details included in the Fox News link, all anyone can do for the time being is speculate, but I for damn sure would like to know what twisted interpretation of existing statutes was assembled to provide the statutory underpinning for this.
