Maybe full auto? Just a guess.
Comment on What happens to all the used guns?
Technoworcester@lemm.ee 1 day agoOne of them was not only in horrible shape, unsafe to fire, but it was illegal.
Intrigued, how was it illegal?

Sawed off shotgun, about a half inch under the legal limit.
Which was the least problematic thing lol.
It was badly done, at an angle. The stock hadn’t given replaced with a grip or anything, just cut off. The moving parts were rusty, and he’s improvised what he thought was a quick trigger that only made it so that if you racked the slide wrong, it would drop the hammer.

Huh. Cool. I didn’t realise the US had laws about stuff like that. Always just assumed if you could legally buy it it’s yours to do what you want with. 2nd(?) amendment and all that jazz.

Hooooo boy. There’s a lot you can’t do. If you have a rifle (that uses a ‘rifle’ round as opposed to a pistol round), your barrel must be over a certain length. But if you have a “rifle” that is chambered in say 9mm (a pistol round), doesn’t matter. Barrel could be 4 inches long. But then it can’t have a stock. So you have a “wrist brace” (read:totally not a stock I promise) instead. There’s a bunch of wacky shit the atf and congress have come up with.
