Why do we still have Short Barreled Rifles (SBR) as an NFA weapon at all anymore? The whole logic of making these weapons illegal without being licensed is spurious because 1. Having a shorter barrel only marginally makes a weapon more concealable and 2. The reduced barrel length increases noise and flash and reduces velocity and energy and accuracy in all rifles.

It's not like Bonnie and Clyde are using them to rob banks anymore..

“It’s not like Bonnie and Clyde are using them to rob banks anymore..”

Other than the full auto thing I’m pretty sure Clydes gun would still be legal today. However, hacking the barrel off a perfectly good BAR is sacrilege in my mind.

When I have Stupid Money I shall own a Belgian BAR IN 7.62 NATO.

It’s insane. They are only effective at keeping law abiding gun owners honest and screwing them out of $200. Beyond that, no real criminal gives a crap about any of it.

Because during those two years after Trump was inaugurated when the GOP controlled everything and had a blank check to repeal a myriad of gun laws as a gesture of gratitude towards gun rights proponents for their loyal and unwavering support towards the Republican Party, they instead did not a damned thing.

Well, we did eventually get a bumpstock ban.

These cowards couldn't even sneak a reciprocity bill into that 5600 pages of trillion dollar garbage they're about to pass.
