That being said, a weapon like the one in the article doesn't strike me as being much good, unless it has an attachable stock. Too heavy for a pistol, and not accurate enough for a rifle, I'd think. I've never fired one though, wonder if any Freepers could comment?
Scrolling though the comments, I think that this guy's actions .... while legal .... were completely irresponsible. I've heard of painting the end of a shotgun (helps for a quick aim), but I can't imagine why you'd make up a pistol/rifle to look like a toy.
His actions point out a glaring disconnect in law enforcement and the gun community both.
The cops had no idea what was "legal" and gun forums are so terrified of their liberal enemies that they'd toss one of their own to the wolves faster than you can spit.
Ain't nothing like preemptive surrender to embolden ones enemies.
“Yeah, I commented before I saw the pic.”
I had the same thought before I saw the picture and read enough to realize it was a real firearm.
Collecting firearms is a worthy cause but these look like junk and of no use for anything.
