Does everyone here know what constructive intent means?

If you sell a PDW/pistol with a STOCK not attached that is constructive intent or even have one on the same property or have one at all. If you post pictures of said PDW/pistol with the fully functional STOCK on the item in question I guess you like prison.

I hate to be a spoil sport or seem like some kind of NARC but ignorance of the law is no excuse.

 
I honestly had no idea, but it's ridiculous to think that because I have an AR pistol and a full butt-stock laying around (of which I have several, as well as several full length AR's) that I could be penalized with constructive intent! How far does this go, I guess if a reloader has possession of black powder, tannerite, and firecrackers that could provide 'constructive intent' to make an explosive device...
 
You would be surprised how many times people post pistols and advertise with stocks included and pictured.
I mean the ATF doesn’t even have to work for those.
We pull those ads when we see them, and try to educate them as to keep people from committing obvious felonies.
 
A hacksaw and a shotgun can be owned together and even kept in the same room of your house --that doesn't mean you have constructive intent.

If you buy a 10 inch barreled AR upper receiver and the only AR lower you have is one for your rifle, and you've always used it with a rifle it was sold to you as a rifle receiver...

... I say that if you have that short barrel in the same house with that rifle and you have no handgun that is ready to accept that 10 inch AR barrel upper U are in constructive possession of an unassembled SBR.

Now, the feds may not go looking for you... UNLESS YOU GIVE THEM ANOTHER READON TO.

And if you are an A-Hole that does something to piss them off and get on their radar, and the head of ATF sends out a couple agents and says
"investigate this guy and find out something to bust him for" they could bust you for it, that and it would stick.
I can't guarantee that a jury would convict you if you go to trial in the US District Court
--because juries are unpredictable --but you would pretty clearly be breaking the law already under the doctrine of constructive possession.

I see them on here all the time. I find it funny they lock comments in their threads. I'm not going to send them a PM asking WTF they are thinking either because that might be considered unlawful as well.

Just wanted to let these guys get an education before they accidentally **** up.
