Maybe IRunGuns can clarrify section US Code Title 18 Chapter 44 section 925(d)(4) which says says:
d) The Attorney General shall authorize a firearm or ammunition to be imported or brought into the United States or any possession thereof if the firearm or ammunition—
(1) is being imported or brought in for scientific or research purposes, or is for use in connection with competition or training pursuant to chapter 751 of title 10;
(2) is an unserviceable firearm, other than a machinegun as defined in section 5845(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (not readily restorable to firing condition), imported or brought in as a curio or museum piece;
(3) is of a type that does not fall within the definition of a firearm as defined in section 5845(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and is generally recognized as particularly suitable for or readily adaptable to sporting purposes, excluding surplus military firearms, except in any case where the Attorney General has not authorized the importation of the firearm pursuant to this paragraph, it shall be unlawful to import any frame, receiver, or barrel of such firearm which would be prohibited if assembled; or
(4) was previously taken out of the United States or a possession by the person who is bringing in the firearm or ammunition.
So if it was previously in the US (ie made in the US) can it be imported back into the US?
What about the "or a possession by the person who is bringing in the firearm or ammunition"? Does that mean someone moving to the US can bring their AR (or other firearms) with them? Or is it still a no go? I intend to move Stateside after university, it would be cool if I could take my AR with me, not sure what I'd do with it if I can't bring it with me, since I can't sell it anymore.
Also What about importing individual AR parts if they were all made in the US?
IRG, can you guys clarify this section of the law please?
