As I read that, and also confirmed by AO all they want to do is make sure that incoming parts are for acat rifles.. it's not much extra effort, yes it's a bit annoying but all the fuss is over a little bit of paper that takes 5 minutes to fill out..

The big giveaway here is the inclusion of the word "intent". The Police are using this to enforce arbitrary restrictions on AR (and maybe AK) components by coming up with their own interpretations of the act. If this was in fact what the act required, any component for any semi auto would need a permit (off the top of my head I cant think of a single semi that could not be made in MSSA configuration). Using their logic you need an import permit to bring in a set of $2 aliexpress scope rings because they could be fitted to an AR....
