Well I won’t go that far. Utility is in the hands of the holder (to hijack a phrase).
I am sure that someone will have a use for this weapon, even if it is only to plink, target shoot or admire in their gun room.
I like you are more of a purist when it comes to gun design but I don’t want to be the law giver on what constitutes a useful gun.
The more people who buy more guns the safer the Second Amendment is for us all. If it takes this kind of counter intuitive design features to sell more guns to more people that is fine with me.
Don’t get me wrong.
I lust after those things as much as anyone.
I’ve got a 12ga pistol. And know from experience it, like these AR pistols, is nigh unto useless.
Induces a shit-eating grin though.
