Alert: ATF Interpretive Change Restricts Handgun Imports and May Require NFA Registration(2)
comms.wiley.law

"In some of the new letters, ATF has begun listing the following “objective design features” when making its evaluations:

Incorporation of rifle sights;
Utilization of "rifle caliber ammunition" (both 5.56mm and 7.62mm have been considered as such);
Incorporation of “rifle-length barrel;”1
The “weapon’s heavy weight;”
Ability to accept magazines that range in capacity from 20 rounds to 100 rounds, “which will contribute to the overall weight of the firearm”; and
Overall length of the weapon which “creates a front-heavy imbalance when held in one hand.”

... Under ATF’s new interpretation of the handgun definition, millions of AR-15 style pistols could be considered “too large, or too heavy” to fall within ATF’s new interpretation, thereby making them unregistered NFA weapons, and subjecting manufacturers and gun owners to criminal prosecution."

      guns are and have been a majority conservative thing in america

      im not sure what liberal definition you are referring to but op in america at least what we have here is the other of the two parties (libs) that is very for gun control / policies against those rights

      thats why you see so much lib hate here because theres the chud conservatives (ew), libs (ew), and the left (us)

      also the founding fathers owned slaves so at this point as leftists we have a love / hate relationship with them and were just trying not to lose the rights we have right now, and if that means a "rifle" that is technically, or at least was, a pistol, you cant hate on the classification as it technically is on some level true and was legal
