If push comes to shove - destruction question

[u/N714YQ]

I have absolutely no intention of forfeiting my working AR15 to the state.

That being said, if it comes down to the wire and they start leaning on us even harder as October 30 approaches, are they expecting to steal intact, working rifles?

Because I have a chop saw, and will cut my rifle into pieces and bring the scraps in a bag to the cop shop. Because fuck ’em is why.

Being the dickhead statists they are, you would probably have to make sure that the scraps have a “trigger lock” and are enclosed in a locked hard sided container.

Any thoughts?

There's no requirement to turn in, only to report.

If you really had to, sawing the receiver in half would suffice as "destroyed". No other parts need to be destroyed. Not sure how on earth it could be argued that "sawed in half" isn't destroyed.

Receivers aren't complex parts anyways.
