 California just lost a big gun case.  80% lowers cannot be considered firearms.

For the uninitiated.  If the lower receiver assembly on an AR-15 is only 80% complete it still does not meet the definition of a firearm according to federal statute.  None of the other parts are considered a firearm at all .. the sights, barrel, stock, trigger, magazine, spring, firing pin …. Those are just parts.
