2nd Amend. Politics and Law / Re: Questions about AR pistols

SSE has become more difficult, but is still possible.
PPT sales and Intrafamilial transfers are still roster-exempt, however, in the case of your father gifting one to you, it must be a legitimate gift.
You can not give him (or anyone else) the money to make the purchase or it becomes a Federal crime (Question 1 on the 4473).
Theoretically, the law has not changed on 80%, however, more recent reviews of the law call into question whether or not it was ever truly legal.
Without question, you CAN build an 80% break-top bolt-action single shot handgun. The conversion to semi-auto is the issue, as there is no legal definition as to at what point "manufacturing" stops and "modification" begins.
It is and always has been illegal to "manufacture" an off-roster handgun.
Finally.... why?
Seriously.
The AR pistol is a fun little range toy, but it is totally impractical for any use other than "I found a way to have one when California says I can't"
It is not practical for home defense due to the high power round.
It is not practical for hunting due to the short sight radius and short barrel accuracy issues.
It is not practical for self defense due to the lack of concealability, as well as awkwardness of open carry when hunting/fishing.
