  1. Writing dumbass comments on YouTube should be life in prison!

  2. You don't really get much more shot spread than with any cylinder bore.

  3. ATF says they're legal and that's what judges and prosecutors are going to go by.

  4. Andre Ellis that's just as true of frangible ammo from a rifled barrel though. There's no good reason for it - any more than there's a good reason for short barreled rifles are illegal while much more concealable handguns are legal.

  5. 1934 National Firearms Act. They are legal to own under federal law if they are registered with ATF and the extra $200 tax is paid. Some states ban them anyway, though.

  6. Breakin' the law, breakin' the law! (*headbanging and throwing metal horns*)

  7. I have a laser on one gun (an M&P 9) and I really only find it useful for use with a suppressor that hides the sights. I find red dots a lot more user-friendly, it's just that you can use regular M&P holsters with the laser (because it's built into the grip). With a shotgun that's not an issue so I can't see any reason not to go with a red dot.

  8. Would having a chainsaw grafted onto one of your arms in place of your hand be an AOW?

  9. You don't really need that stuff anyway.

  10. That's mostly true in the US too. What you can own and take to the range isn't the same as what you can hunt with or carry on the street. Where I live you need a license to carry a concealed firearm and the license only allows handguns. And if you have an illegal machine gun it's 10 years in federal prison with no possibility of parole.

  11. It's a law from the 1930s when bank robbers like John Dillinger and Bonnie and Clyde were notorious for using machine guns and sawed off shotguns. the irony is that most of the machine guns they used were stolen from police or military arsenals.

  12. It isn't, according to ATF.

  13. It would be great if you expect to have to enter or exit a vehicle rapidly while carrying it. Not that most people who aren't LEOs are ever going to need to that but, but still, a practical use.

  14. Why are they stupid? It's the laws that are stupid, they're just tasked with enforcing them. Having been in that business (in another capacity) I can tell you you can't stop legislators from enacting stupid laws, it's what they do. Laws and sausages, as Bismarck famously said.

  15. It's being a muzzleloader, not being designed for black powder, that makes it not a firearm under federal law. What some people fail to consider is that state law may define a firearm differently. State laws are not bound by the federal definition of a firearm.

  16. And he was acquitted on the original charge!

  17. It's not ATF who made that law, it's Congress. That was in the days of Dillinger and Bonnie and Clyde and machine guns and sawed off shotguns and rifles were made into a bogeyman for the general public by sensationalist media.

  18. Yes, and once you did it would still be a felony even after you took it off. Once it's a long gun it's always a long gun.

  19. It's classified as an "any other weapon" under the NFA which requires registration and payment of the NFA tax. 26 U.S. Code ยง 5845 (e) "The term 'any other weapon' means any weapon or device capable of being concealed on the person from which a shot can be discharged through the energy of an explosive, a pistol or revolver having a barrel with a smooth bore designed or redesigned to fire a fixed shotgun shell..."

  20. Yeah, good luck with that lawsuit too. Trust me, you will never win it.

  21. Has anyone ever been prosecuted for a bump stock, though?

  22. That's not ATF's fault, though. They issued an opinion under existing law and that opinion is still valid while the law stays the same, but if the legislature changes the law ATF has no power over that.

  23. You have two separate issues: whether it makes sense to ban bump stocks, and whether Congress is bound by ATF's opinions. The answer to the second has nothing to do with the first. Congress is not bound by the opinions of ATF, ATF is bound by the laws Congress makes. Since Congress is elected and ATF isn't, that's the way it should be, even if in some cases Congress makes stupid decisions. You don't want to hand unelected administrative agencies the power to overrule Congress.

  24. Like it or not the NFA has never been held to violate the 2nd Amendment. Your interpretation may differ from the judge's but it's his interpretation that will determine whether you go to prison.

  25. That's part of why we have term limits for presidents and should have them for senators and representatives. Washington will co-opt anyone who's in office long enough.

  26. Roll your own! Shotshell loading is easy and much cheaper.
