registration is almost always just a prelude to confiscation,
the AR15 is like an erector set, or legos for adult gun enthusiasts
as uppers barrels, lowers, stocks, braces, handguards all interchange with ease.
keep in mind the ATF says there were between 3-7 million braces sold
but the manufacturer's of the AR15 collapsible stocks ,say they sold over 10-15 million
and pistol braces in dozens of configurations state that estimates STILL ABSURDLY LOW
and theres many PRINTER PROGRAMS, and import versions available for the do it your self crowd,
simply because you can easily interchange AR15 lowers and uppers
and short barrel uppers were sold without lowers in the millions
that can be matched to rifle or pistol lowers
and there were easily 30-40 million AR15 uppers, that could be easily converted or modified,
and short ar15 compatible barrels sold over the last 30 years
no one has a clue whats currently out in civilian hands or available
