So many why’s and if’s in ATF enforcement. There is very little rational thought to the laws or enforcement.
Why is a smoothbore .410 with a 15” barrel illegal, while the Taurus Judge is legal?
Why do I need a class 3 to have a “concealable short-barrelled shotgun” if I already have a concealed weapons permit?
If pistols are more dangerous than rifles (which is inferred from how they are treated) then why is illegal to turn a pistol into a rifle?
If pistols are legal, why is it illegal to turn a rifle into a pistol?
I want to know why I can’t fool around trying to protect my and my children’s hearing by fabricating homemade suppressors without gov’t interference.
Why is a smoothbore .410 with a 15 barrel illegal, while the Taurus Judge is legal?
I can’t offer logic, but that’s the distinction under the law.
It’s illegal to put a shoulder stock onto most pistols for this reason, even though it makes them less concealable and shoot more accurately.
“If pistols are legal, why is it illegal to turn a rifle into a pistol?” Shhhh, I’ve built for myself an AR15 pistol which is legal in TN so long as the barrel stays under 12 inches.
a. The extra $200 fee. b. See #53.
