Look at some of our elected politicians (or the popularity of some useless expensive items) and tell me that surprises you.
It is an unfortunate human failing that a full pocketbook often groans more loudly than an empty stomach.

There's this: https://www.80percentarms.com/products/ ... -receiver/

It barely matters what the outside is like if one is willing to sacrifice some features -- the sprinloaded pins for quick takedown, the safety, and the bolt release are luxuries, not necessities, but most of the work goes into the outer surface. Also, if you make the buffer tower a bolt on part, you save a lot of aluminium waste. I suspect a 0% jig wouldn't be all that hard to design.

Lawsuit challenges state police over new ‘ghost gun’ policy
Shapiro welcomed the legal battle, tweeting from his official account: “Bring It! We’ll see you in court.”

“These powerful special interest groups are the same ones that are stunting real reform in Washington and Harrisburg,” he said in a statement. “I will continue to fight to ensure our legal opinion stands and to close this gaping loophole in the system that allows criminals to get their hands on untraceable, unserialized DIY firearms.”

The lawsuit called the 80% receivers “non-firearm objects” and said the state police have already posted a notice on the background check website saying partially manufactured frames, receivers and kits now require background checks to purchase but the check system is not yet ready to accommodate them.

Pennsylvania judge issues temporary injunction against requiring background checks for firearm parts.
Pennsylvania judge puts hold on state ‘ghost guns’ policy
“The harm of threatened enforcement of an unconstitutionally vague policy, derived from statute, cannot be remedied after the fact,” Brobson wrote. He noted that federal regulators, unlike the Pennsylvania State Police, have a process that allows manufacturers to submit their products for review and classification.

State police announced earlier this month that gun dealers must call the state gun-purchase background check system for sales of the 80% receivers and are not permitted to simply use the online system.

Joshua Prince, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said Friday he was pleased and argued the new policy put people at risk of criminal and civil penalties “in relation to something that not even the Pennsylvania State Police could define.”
This won't last long.
