also works on SKS, Browning BAR, and Remington 750 with minor modification.

Of course I keep my key chain separate from my bootlace.

I wonder if people in jail now for multible counts due to having a single DIAS and many Lowers will now have their convictions overturned? but i doubt that.

“There are very few government agencies that are so prickly and odd about enforcement. Most of them are just inefficient and lazy.”

Aint that the truth! It makes me wonder which is worse…

This’ll work – until they change their pea-sized minds again. I still have a problem with a bureaucracy that gets to make it own laws and then can radomely change them.

BobG: “all”

There, I fixed it for you. Armed assault, armed robbery, murder, and such are already against the law, you see, and there’s a little thingy-dingy known as the Bill of Rights.

Now just as a mental excercise, tell us which gun laws you support. To put it another way, which particular technical “violations” do you believe justify putting a peaceable, honest citizen in jail over?

"And I say To illustrate how fucking stupid some gun laws are." And I say To illustrate how fucking stupid ~~some~~ most gun laws are. There, I fixed it for you...

“a part that is designed and intended solely for the purpose of converting a semi-automatic rifle into a machinegun is now *not* a machinegun *until* it is added to a firearm.”

So a DIAS is legal again?

WooHoo!

And people say to me Hey Uncle, why are you picking such nits regarding this law?

Another possible answer: Because the ATF does, too.

There are very few government agencies that are so prickly and odd about enforcement. Most of them are just inefficient and lazy.

I am so glad that I can keep my shoes laced without being arrested for possession of an illegal firearm.

[...] no longer have to worry about spending time in the federal klink for having shoelaces and guns, at least, until they change their mind [...]
