I *will* work on that issue.
See, *that* is what intelligent argument looks like;
*'This is an issue.'*
**Oh. Damn, that never occurred to me. I mean, you'd think it'd be obvious, but...**
@Beemann I believe 'firearm' is already defined in federal law so presumably Mandy's bill not mentioning it just means firearm means the same thing it means in previous federal statutes with definitions
Which is why I brought up the shoelace
Wait you mean using this to curcumvent the NFA? Gee I hope so
I mean will we be able to circumvent this because of silly ATF decisions
Such as having our fully automatic 14inch shoestrings
Just slip in a little innocuous *"Anyone in compliance with this law shall not be subject to the NFA"*
Or will the Mandy Tory Carrie law also require rigid redefinition of firearms so as not to include outliers or the later inclusion of outliers
Right but I mean for undermining the law
A component that allows for conversion to full auto fire is defined as a machinegun by the ATF
Which is why they sent out a letter warning about shoestring use in 04
hey man, his bill includes laser guns and energy weapons be grateful
So my belt, being a component in bump firing, is a machinegun
pew pew
I'll just get it registered and away I go
*"I'd like to register this pillow as a form 1 supressor"*
Every American citizen with a bed is not in compliance with the NFA 😎 😎 😎
If I understand it correctly it's sort of dumber than that
See, it's not illegal to own a shoestring, but it's illegal to use your shoestring as a conversion component, so you would need to license your shoestring as a machine gun to use it for that purpose
Or could happen with some similarly innocuous item
@A. Spader
It's close enough. A little more latitude for future technologies, though.
Ehem, it treats them all the same, though.
***@Clive WINS!***
Ya, he "got one over on me" (by sniffing out the secret); AR-15 or C-4Ør (rail gun) or Klingon Disruptor, they're all the same for enforcement...
*If that technology ever comes...*
Which it might.
Well if Elon Musk can make a Flamethrower, I'm sure he can make a rifle-sized Railgun
I'll take 2
Fr tho
...
I think flamethrowers are covered...
Maybe...
Not saying it's a great idea, just covered...
Aren't they banned by Genenva convention?
Flamethrowers for snow clearing
The Geneva Convention... 😂
i know i know, but stilll
Geneva convention: bans hollow points
Iron forged bullets: "I'm about to end this man's career"
I think hollow points was the Hague convention
Ahh you right
One of those random facts where I'm always That Guy
idk what you mean
Somebody mentions Geneva and hollow points, then I come in like "WELL AKCHUALLY"
If a rich white infirtile couple that descended from slaves owners adopt a black child, does that black child have huwite privelege?
No, because huwhite privilege is also from looking huwhite
which is why colourism happened
white passing privilege
