Stocked rifles with barrels under a certain length are illegal. So people who think they need such a thing contrive powerful, high-capacity “pistols” by combining an AR15 lower, a buffer tube without a buttstock, and a short upper with a 10”-ish barrel. These are often used with some sort of unattached “brace”, to afford stability. There are similar “pistols”, using short-barrelled AKs without buttstocks.

These things seem useless for any purpose other than spraying a crowd, but I’m sure some folks justify them.

PMSNBC has already labeled him a right wing conservative.
