Building codes aren't generally written in law. They are regulations and that was what I was driving at. Things like the National Electrical Code don't change rapidly but they do change and its a private trade association (NFPA) that makes said changes. However, almost every municipality adheres to them when doing inspections and I know personally that they are not taken lightly.
Most building codes are pretty well based in either actual safety and engineering or in preventing lawsuits later on. I can't remember the last time we had an earthquake strong enough to move a 400lbs water heater here in Las Vegas, but we still have to have earthquake straps on them. And while it might just be to squeeze an extra $30 out of someone, it would cost a whole lot more if the thing fell off its pedestal.
Or, alternatively, the ATF could be abolished and legislators could stop violating their oath of office.
If your arm can fit through that. You need to go to the gym and eat more food.
uh, ok.
Obviously. That's the whole point of pistol braces in general. Does anyone honestly think they'd exist if there weren't restrictions on SBR's?
Ah. Yes. Flintlocks-R-Us
How the end user uses a device should have zero bearing on how the device is classified. The fact that I buy a large torque wrench and use it as a hammer does not make that torque wrench a hammer no matter how many nails I drive with it.
yes but a hammer or a torque wrench serve other purposes than to be a weapon. An AR15 is always a weapon, its only function is to propel bullets at lethal velocities.
