The Virginia Tech shooter bought his two handguns under a one-gun-a-month law. It meant he had to wait 32 days before going on his shooting spree…

You should be OK. The origin of the wood doesn’t matter. The act of carving it into a gun part has to have been done in the United States. If you carved in Canada, and brought it back here, you might be a 922(r) scofflaw. Of course, this is all considering the ATF doesn’t suddenly change its mind and say the wood has to have been felled within US borders.

Heh! When I had an AKM semi-automatic (thing couldn’t group worth a dam), I carved a new stock and vertical grip for it. Now I wonder whether I should have checked the origin of the wood at the lumber supply.

I think I’m going to get Bitter to help me pitch an Op-Ed to the Inky refuting their bullshit.
