(Note: for US-centric shooters, but anyone else can play along also....)
-If I can't go out and buy a brand-new pistol with 30-round clips that fires armor-piercing ammo, then why can I go to the hardware store and buy a powder-activated nail gun? In fact, you can even buy a straight-line style that is concealable in a coat sleeve! Meeting up with a nasty fellow in a dark alley who knows his nailguns would be a Bad Day Indeed. .......Seriously, a co-corker and I got on this subject a while back, and were wondering how it is that a common nailgun escapes ATF regulation.
-Or does it?
Are powder-caps regulated? Do they require a license to buy? I have never owned one so I do not know....
