I just want to point out that hypothetically someone could have committed a felony in a state like say NY by purchasing an AR lower (which is not yet semiautomatic, but does have a collapsable stock) and tossing an upper on it.
Hypothetically they could still regularly shoot on private land, and enjoy and practice with the rifle. Some regions are very rural and make this possible. Capable of defense, hunting, and enjoyment. Hypothetically their could be plenty of these people.
Absolutely illegal. And the risks are very real. Not everyone who talks about these topics is discussing "pretend" consequences. The consequences can be very real, and people may still choose to face the risk of them. Sometimes legal, some times career impacting.
