This is the upper to an AR-15. You can buy them of varying qualities for as low as < $200 at a gun show. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1016872351/ar-stoner-ar-15-a3-upper-receiver-assembly-556x45mm-nato-16-barrel …pic.twitter.com/ELmZX211fE

What makes the AR-15 so popular is how many aftermarket tweaks you can do to it. It's a blank slate, and accessories and mods are readily available. This is why the NRA defends it so much. Entire companies are built around its modularity.
This ubiquity creates a positive feedback loop. Its availability begets options; options make it more accessible and desirable; its desirability increases availability.
Banning even just the AR-15 would be a huge blow to that industry. There are no similar long rifles with nearly thay kind of market footprint.
As others pointed out, he did finish the job.https://twitter.com/discreetsecure/status/966823754134368256 …
Actually... He cuts it three times, trashing the entire thing. (I thought the same as you, after that first cut it would still work as a bolt action sbr)
That would be the weirdest bolt action ever
Yeah, it would be. The gas parts would be knackered, but the bullet would fire fine. Then you clear it and load another round, and it would die again. But he chopped it up more. Totally trashed it.
apparently he destroyed the rest afterwards https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1994023067524786&set=a.1448058838787881.1073741832.100007513365065&type=3&theater …
Even less than that he just destroyed the barrel, handguard, and gas tube... on a 30 year old rifle they're probably shot anyways (well at least the barrel and gas tube)
He posted a photo later showing it in three pieces.
It's an all-leather upper tho
