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
I think they later changed their decision on the shoestrings, but it could easily happen again
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?
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
Seriously...
Yes *they are* banned... In international war.
A ban that's never been scrupulously observed.
They are not banned in internal conflicts (civil war, etc.). Yes, you can use gas against your own people, *as despicable as such action is.* 😔
Has war ever been about survival?
No one goes to war TO survive. They go to war to conquer or stop a bad guy
'Stop a bad guy' could be survival...
I meant nobody declares war for survival
Maybe they join as a last resort
Well, war sort of was for survival before the idea of free markets.
Imperialism!
