It always fascinated me how Americans are like “you can have a thing that shoots fire and death” but the barrel can’t be this long or it can’t have rail attachments or it can’t fire too fast or be a certain color or whatever.
And don’t even think about screwing something on the end of the barrel to make it less damaging to your hearing, that is gangster shit that needs heavy regulation

The funny thing is that’s only a guess. They didn’t actually discuss silencers at all when they were passing the law.
