Hey everyone,
Something thats been picking at my brain recently is Short Barreled Rifle (SBR) regulations and laws. Ok, so say I have a Bushmaster .223 pistol, its legal. If I put a stock on it however, it becomes a SBR and therefore illegal. Less I fill out paperwork, etc etc. However, what sense does this law make?
If I already own a pistol, does owning a rifle with a shorter barrel pose more of a threat? Wouldnt the lawmakers be more concerned about me concealing a handgun than a rifle whose barrel is 5" shorter than regulation?
Does having a SBR really make it that much more dangerous?
Whats the deal behind this law?
