Constructive Intent

Even if it isn't, by law, constructive intent, there really is nothing stopping them from charging you with anything they can dream up and ruining you with a lengthy, expensive court case even if they lose. There should be repercussions for doing that but there really isn't.

If merely posessing a small piece of harmless plastic that fits on the buffer tube of an AR can be "constructive intent", then isn't it clear that posessing an AR Upper with a barrel shorter than 16" can be seen as the same? Subject to the same penalties.... I haven't heard anyone even mention this .

The irony being this is what AR15s are supposed to guard against.

This is the mindset the government wants most people to adhere to.
 
If you own an AR rifle lower,
and DO NOT possess a pistol or registeted SBR lower also,

and you DO own a barreled upper receiver with a short barrel on it that would be illegal to put on any of the AR receivers that you own

.... and only legal to put on a hypothetical pistol lower that you don't own....

DAMN RIGHT the doctrine of "constructive intent" applies here, and ATF and the U.S. Attorney's office would have a strong case.
