I agree. I was going to say that Sessions played straight, but that’s hardly an excuse. Barr, OTOH, has always been a swamp thing.
“You mean Facebook and Twitter?”
He was known to have used a sawed off shotgun.
Ditto brother! In addition, a pistol length barreled AR in 300 AAC allowed me length room to put my blast forwarding device on and still manage it as a pistol.
No, ‘they’ murdered Bundy.
It has amused me that even in the thirties double speak was used. The NFA is The National Firearms Act ... a sound suppressor is not a firearm, at all. Mufflers are mandated on fuel ed vehicles and are not deemed ‘firearms’. There are OSHA laws on sound pollution, yet the fraudulent inclusion of mufflers in the NFA is accepted as worthy for regulating as a firearm! It’s almost as if Feinstein and Nasty Pelosi were writing the NFA.
Well, TBH, I’ve met lots of guys showing off their “pistols”. braced, who are quite eager to declare how they have “beat the system “ to create SBRs.
That’s all well and good, but when “I beat the system” reaches a certain volume, the “system” tends to bite back.
And that Honey Badger item is a prime example of a manufacturer going too far and hurting all of us thereby.
BTW, my son has a Honey Badger and trying to shoot it with that ‘brace on your arm bangs the ‘brace’ adjustment nobs into the hand when fired. That is a shoulder stock made to look like a brace.
That window has closed.
After President Trump's election existed a golden opportunity to repeal a myriad of gun laws that liberals have forced on us over the years, including 1934's pointless NFA. It would've been an incredible, magnanimous gesture of gratitude towards gun-rights proponents for their loyal and unwavering support of the GOP in election after election.
Instead, we got a bumpstock ban and Paul Ryan didn't even wait for election night to end before he handed the Speaker's gavel over to Nancy Pelosi.
The bump stock thing was only a sign of a foot that has long been in the door. I don't have one, I don't want one, but to allow a federal agency the power to arbitrarily ban one is a recipe for disaster. What business the government has in stating any limits for the dimensions of a gun barrel at all is itself questionable. That ship, unfortunately, sailed long ago, and plucking that power back from the federal agency clinging to it like grim death is akin to the Labors of Hercules at this point.
It started in the 1920s.
It was gamed by the Progressives to remove power from the Congress and place it in the administrative state. The process is called "delegation" and it is directly against the Constitution.
Delegation is not allowed. It is directly addressed in the Federalist papers. It was routinely ruled against by the Supreme Court.
The Courts started allowing it in the 20's and it ramped up big time in the 30's and with the "Great Society".
That picture is kind of deceptive. The actual ‘brace’ has an ‘adjustment’ lever which hits the hand when the weapon is fired with the brace attached to the forearm.
