I actually really do not give a shit about SBR's or SBS's. I'll stick to 16+ inch barrel rifles and 18.5"+ shotguns. Suppressors being unregulated though is REAL fuckin nice, hopefully we get standardized threaded barrels on pretty much every gun now

>>63881885 (OP)
16 inches always seemed like an arbitrary number to me
yeah a >16in barrel rifle is easier to conceal, but handguns and SMGs are even easier to conceal and both are legal

>>63881885 (OP)
Did that shit pass? Cause if it did I will go out and buy a suppressor this week.

>>63881885 (OP)
I just want them to start letting companies build machine guns again. Keep all the background check bullshit and the tax stamps. Bankrupt all the boomers that treat guns like financial investments.

>>63881903
That's because it is arbitrary. The only reason SBR and SBS are regulated is because the NFA was going to include pistols and they didn't want people making sawed-offs get skirt around it.

Fuck this shit

>>63881939
half true, its based off of the M1 carbine's barrel length, since they were common
they wanted the legal length to be shorter, but the carbines were shorter than the proposed length & commonly used at the time, so they left it at 16 instead of 20 or whatever

always thank the chad carbine, it could have been much worse

>>63881957
>legal length to be shorter
*longer
oops

>>63881885 (OP)
NFA needs to burn either way, fucking libshits cant even legislate around it because it's written by ancient retards. just repeal the whole thing and start again. if we're lucky it'll end up like everything else they break to make a problem for them to 'fix' where they then just cant manage to get anything done as a replacement.

Is there a reason it won't pass rn? Its a tax.

>>63881924
>buy a suppressor
>buy
bro do you even machine

>>63882096
Because it's tied to a bill the size of a phone book full of shit that's unpopular with both parties

>>63883356
what the fuck is a phone book

>>63882096
It's FULL of poison pill shit. All I want is a proper length P-90, a glock with a stock, a 6"-8" barrelled AR with a nice can on it, and a nugget with a 1" barrel dammit.

>>63881982
>just repeal the whole thing

ftfy

>>63881957
>NFA, enacted July 26, 1934
>M1 carbine, designed 1941
Why do you retards always make shit like this up?

>>63883335
No, I don’t have 50k for a machine shop or $1 mil for a house.

guns should have barrels no longer than the length of their ammunition and should only be shot into the dicks of my enemies in particular

>>63883502
The SBR section of the NFA was amended in 1960 to make the barrel length 16 inches down from 18 inches you smarmy retard

>>63883356
why the fuck does it have to be a thing to tie bills together into one big bundle so it can be rejected or sit in limbo forever because some retard decided to try and sneak in some dumb shit

answer honestly, how old are you?

>>63883502
after the korean war they had a fuckload of carbines & the govt. wanted to sell them, so they lowered the length to do so
just goes to show that it isn't actually about safety, just money

>>63883828
I apologise good sir, it appears my son was on this computer.

>>63881903
the M4A1 is a 16 inch barrel including the flash hider so in all honesty, it's not like we're crippled with a 16 inch restriction sans the tax. if it's good enough for the army, it's good enough for me

>>63884346
The actual USGI M4 is actually just shy of 16 inches with the flash hider. When people pin and weld a 14.5in they usually use an extended flash hider to get them just over 16. It's only a fraction of an inch longer but it's there
