| Unless you paid for a gun before 1/15 (or whatever the date), you can't buy an AR anymore, right? This applies to out-of-state purchases as well, right? I'm in South Carolina and would love to pick something up if I still can. Even just a lower that I can build. Thanks for any help. |

You're pretty much boned on an AR until someone finds a work-around stock/pistol grip that is acceptably safe and lowers start moving through the dealers.
Question: What were you thinking and why? If you have a residence in SC you could buy a lower there to later build into a compliant gun whatever that turns out to be or you could buy a full AR to keep down there... |
| Unfortunately I'm only down here a week, or so, per year. I'm not a resident, but they're happy to take my income taxes for any money that I make from down here. I guess I'll have to wait to see how this plays out in the courts. (Though I won't be holding my breath.) Thanks for the info. |

Quoted:
You CAN still buy a lower, or even an AR and bring it home. You have until NEXT April 15th to either neuter it, register it, or leave it as a lower forever. You CANNOT buy an AR and possess it in NY now. They are currently classified as "assault weapons". You can't buy one in-state and no FFL is able to transfer one in from out of state. Stripped lowers *should be* good to go in NY if you can find one in stock, and also find an FFL willing to transfer it. |

You definitely can't buy an AR that has any of the named features. If you bought the lower after 1/14/13 you can only build it into a ban complaint featureless AR...but I expect that FFLs will probably start transferring lowers sometime again... |
