EC. 101. DO-IT-YOURSELF ASSAULT WEAPON BAN.
(b) Prohibited Acts- It shall be unlawful for any person to sell, offer for sale, manufacture for sale, or import into the United States for sale, to a consumer–
(1) an assault weapon parts kit; or SEC. 103.
DEFINITIONS. (a) Terms- For purposes of this title–
(1) the term ‘assault weapon parts kit’ means any part or combination of parts not designed and intended for repair or replacement but designed and intended to enable a consumer who possesses all such necessary parts to assemble a semiautomatic assault weapon;
I'm pretty sure you could make a valid legal argument that you could be buying a new lower for replacement of a damaged one, the same goes for other parts.

it just might...while many are against banning guns that are manufactured for us, some may be against what they may feel is a opening Pandora's box with plastic and powdered metal printers and now 80% complete gun kits...
All I ask is that you consider making a phone call to make sure your representative knows where you stand...

Yeah, the manufacturers/retail stores would just rename them to "replacement lower/upper receiver/barrel/bcg etc" and from that law it would be totally legal for them to do so.
The people writing these laws have to have a combined IQ of 70 or something.

Exactly, you could call them anything. That is how the "bath salts" and "potpourri" showed up in gas stations. Small metal components lack the illegal ingredients to be shut down by the feds.
Hard to stop the distribution of a name given to a few peices of metal.
"For Sale - I have a Daniel Defense toilet repair kit, along with a lower oven replacement box".

This. One would really think that our friends from California who keep introducing this half baked legislation would have someone draft the bill who actually knows a thing or two about guns. Trying to ban the front handle stock in the last round of legislation really had me . They wanted to ban an inanimate piece of wood/plastic that has no bearing on the weapon's performance. Opposition research, Waxman. Thats how they'll get this shite done...assuming they do actually want to get it done.

This actually works.
The staffers that answer the phone have a chart that they put tick marks for or against on what the caller says. How much of it the rep uses, I'm not sure. They do keep track though.

It took 35 people to write a bill?

Did the Dems take over control of the House while I was sleeping? That shite won't even get out of committee.

How to Contact & Effectiveness of Methods
The effectiveness of methods of contact from most effective to least effective are:
Face to face meeting:
Face to face meetings with your representative and/or a relevant member of their staff are the most effective. A meeting usually needs to be arranged at least a week (and often more) in advance, and may be particularly difficult to organize for a day during weeks when Congress is sitting.
Letter:
A handwritten, or typed and signed letter, is the most effective means of communication (other than a face to face meeting). It is far more effective than photocopied form letters, postcard campaigns or emails. Some politicians regard handwritten letters more highly than typewritten letters (some of these are technologically illiterate, and some find it convenient to claim the sender probably just cut and pasted what someone else said without thinking about the issue themselves).
Telephone call:
phone call to your representative's office (local electorate office or at congressional office) is generally more effective than sending email, but is less effective than writing and mailing a letter.
Fax:
The effectiveness of fax communication is higher than email, but less than a mailed letter and roughly equivalent to a phone call.
Email:
Email is by far the least effective way of communicating your views to your representative/s.
Some politicians regard email as "second class mail"
