Reflections on SBR Laws and AR Pron

A little over a month ago, the BATFEABCNSAFYIXYZ Tech Branch sent a letter to police sergeant explainting that there is no law against shouldering a pistol, which got me to thinking.

This is a rifle with a 16" barrel.  No problem in most states.

This is a pistol.  No problem in most states, as long as you're 21 and don't attach a vertical foregrip.

This is still a pistol, even if you shoulder it, according to ATF Tech branch.  No worries.

Whoa there!!  This is an SBR.  Purchase or manufacture hindered by red tape.

The pistol with the SigTac arm brace is essentially the same size, with the same upper, as the Short Barreled Rifle, but the SBR requires a permission slip just because it has a proper rifle stock.

You can buy a rifle at 18 years old, but you have to be 21 to buy a handgun. Why? Because handguns are more deadly? In most cases, no, handguns aren't more deadly. It must be because pistols are more concealable.

So why is it that an SBR, which is larger than a pistol, but smaller than a "normal rifle," require fingerprinting, a chief law enforcement officer sign-off, a $200 tax, registration, and a 10 to 12 month wait to get the approval to take possession or build it?

In most states, you can go into a gun shop, or maybe a sporting goods store, and walk out the same day with either a tiny palm-sized pistol, or a long rifle, but something in between the two is taboo and quite heavily restricted?  It doesn't even matter if it's a single-shot or semi-automatic.  A H&R Handi-Rifle with a 15" barrel would be restricted basically the same as a machinegun, which is ridiculous.

The restriction on putting a vertical foregrip on a pistol seems to be just entirely arbitrary.  "They" don't want you to spray fire, and don't seem to want you to carefully aim either.  If you can own a pistol, then you can own a rifle, so what friggin' difference does it make if you hold a pistol with both hands?

Law, law, everywhere a law.  Do this, don't do that.  Can't you read the law?

It doesn't really make much sense, does it?

How about if we change the laws to require that you need to be 21 to buy a rifle with a barrel shorter than 16", or a shotgun with a barrel shorter than 18", and just repeal all of the other nonsensical garbage?

Found a link to the Charleston Thug Life blog post titled "A Question For Our President." on a forum.

 Short Barrel Shotgun #3

Uhhh. . . ?

Fortunately, some of the photos feature toy guns or airsoft.

Clearly a molded plastic pistol.

 Appears to be an airsoft pistol.  You can see the inner barrel.

Never heard of an extended Deagle magazine.  The trigger also looks wrong.  I think this is either airsoft or a pellet gun.

On the block you just yap a whole lot

About the clothes that you got

Yo, or the gold that you got

Everybody sees all the friends in your Benz, yo, it's fat

But they ain't gettin money like that

Word to my brother Kenny, jealous one envy

The rich are few, while the poor, many

But you got gold cuffs and cars and stuff

You eatin well, but still in the ghetto you dwell

You know it's hot, so you make it known about your Glock

To any perpetrator tryin to blow up your spot

You grab the microphone and talk a good ramble

You the hardcore outlaw, criminal, vandal

Burnin emcees like a candle, but you frontin

You ain't got nothin, with your life you gamble

One day you gamble up snake eyes

Talkin all that junk about you don't take dives, you take lives

Nobody on the block tries, cause you claim you got powerful ties

So at the red light you arrive

And to your surprise you get heffed up with just two steak knives

You're terrified, they take your Benz, and what makes things worse

You ain't got gun the first
