And therefore they don't fit the definition of "Ghost Gun" for the purposes of the MoCo bill. I wonder which of the Anti groups provided the draft wording?
receiver, that lacks a unique serial number engraved or cased in
metal alloy on the frame or receiver by a licensed manufacturer,
maker or importer under federal law or markings in accordance
with 27 C.F.R. § 479.102. It does not include a firearm that has
been rendered permanently inoperable, or a firearm that is not
required to have a serial number in accordance with the Federal
Gun Control Act of 1968.
