Sorry for the confusion. Until a receiver is finally finished it is a lump of metal. An 80% AR receiver is missing some critical holes and channels it needs to function, so it is not yet technically a receiver. You also can buy flat, cut sheets of metal that you can bend, weld, and have your own MAC 10 machine pistol. No serial numbers. So, yes, if being legally able to build your own firearm for your own private use qualifies as a "loophole", then NBC has a point.
