The serial numbered part is what is on record (through Forms 4473, etc.). Everything else is untraceable. If there is a confiscation, turning in a lower receiver would have you covered. What more could they ask? (The rest of the parts could eventually find new homes. I leave that up to your imagination.)I cannot imagine why you think it would not be complete guns. The fact that ARs are registered on the lower receiver has little to do with Firearms overall.
The practical difficulties of a nationwide confiscation would not be lost on even the most ardent antigunner. This is not New Zealand.
In the Democratic debate last night they were talking about 150 million extant "assault weapons." They're recognizing the potential for massive non-compliance. The scale of this is daunting (apparently to everyone except Rep. Eric Swalwell).
