I'm glad the US isn't the only country with such idiot legislators.
Here's an excerpt from a bill currently before Congress:

  SEC. 312. DEFINITION OF FIREARM EXPANDED TO INCLUDE COMPONENT PARTS.

      Section 921(a)(3)(B) of title 18, United States Code, is amended by
  striking "or receiver" and inserting ", receiver, barrel, stock, ammunition
  magazine, or any part of the action".
                              From Senate bill 1878, nicknamed "Brady II"

Yes, indeed, if this passes then *any* piece of a firearm would be
considered an entire firearm all by itself, including the "stock", which as
you point out above is simply a chunk of wood, or "any part of the action",
which includes screws and little pieces of shaped metal.

By the same "reasoning", a radio knob is an "automobile".  Sheesh.
