You wish. Now you're squirming to avoid the issue.
In your "debate with another FReeper" you said, "The use of short barreled shotguns by the military has a long and distinguished history." I simply responded that those "short-barrelled shotguns" used by the military were greater than 18" -- actually they were 20". Very relevant to your debate.
The NFA taxed "sawed-off" shotguns less than 18" because they were used by criminals, concealed under their clothing.
Two different types of weapons that you're putting in one category, and you're uncomfortable that I pointed that out. Too bad.
Funny, police and military are exempted from such prohibition. I wonder why?
You must be a complete idiot. I showed that the Marine Corps ordered over 20,000 shotguns with 14" barrels. But the argument never was about 1934 NFA regulations. So your contribution, as always, is completely and irrefutably irrelevant.
