The officers that heard him target shooting didn't know was a prohibited possessor. The 3D printed lower is what caused them to dig deeper. Had he been shooting a standard metal lower with serial number, they most likely would have left him alone.

I would bet that 95% of LEO wouldn't know where to find a serial number on the majority of POPULAR firearms. If the LOEs knew the law they are paid to enforce, they wouldn't have been harassing him about a printed lower. I also don't believe the "heard him shooting in the woods" claim either. Unless he was shooting somewhere that wasn't allowed, someone snitch on him.

The AR I shoot most is built on a 80% lower. If I were out shooting in the dez and some Barney Fife yocal wanted to do more than run my ID, he'd be made vary aware where his athoritah met my rights.

I've read all the comments about how dumb this guy is, technical points of law and so on.

So I'm wondering what part of "Shall not be infringed" we're all having a problem with

There is more to this than a printed lower.
He was going through a domestic violence charge and was found with a supposed hit list.
Obviously the guy wasn't very stable mentally.

Officers inspected McGinnis' backpack and discovered a hit list titled "9/11/2001 list of American Terrorists" that included the names of both Democratic and Republican federal lawmakers.
