For what purpose? Under what law would it matter whether something that is not a firearm could be converted into a firearm, if only it were different?I would not be so confident that a real firearm receiver that could shoot real ammunition if it only had the barrel swapped out or an obstruction removed from the barrel could not possibly be considered a firearm.
What? Now toy guns are firearms if they look good enough? My TV remote is a firearm because I could turn it into one by adding a receiver and a barrel and a trigger group, and a magazine, and, well, everything needed to make a firearm.Ditto for a replica firearm which is nonetheless dangerous due to the risk of being mistaken by the public and perceived as a real firearm.
Maybe, but then that's not dependent on whether it is a firearm, is it?While our GA gun laws don't set a bright-line minimum age for a child to possess a rifle, depending on the circumstances of the possession and the age and maturity of the child such conduct could run afoul of other Code sections concerning reckless conduct, child endangerment, a child being "deprived" of effective parental supervision.
