The bill also drops the National Firearms Act fee on short barrelled guns. Fucking good! The shorter the barrel, the slower and less accurate the bullet/pellets. A sawed off shotgun is hilariously ineffective. So why are less dangerous guns highly restricted? The NFA was specifically written to fuck with the Italian Mafia.
Remember kids! Guns laws always have their roots in racism!
Know what really grinds my gears? Blacks, women and LGBT folks have been the largest gun purchasing demographic for the past several years. Wait...
Did y'all think you were just baggin' on white rednecks? Some of you suburban white kids didn't get the memo?
Know why California has the most strict, and idiotic and ineffective, guns laws? Because those buh-lacks were patrolling with open weapons to protect their neighborhoods from the pigs.
Notice how everyone protesting ICE is unarmed? Because ICE is only hitting unarmed populations.
WhErE mY 2a PeEps aT?!
Right fucking here, where ICE isn't.
Your head. Your ass. Remove the former from the later.
Worth noting that less accurate ≠ less dangerous
I'll grant that less powerful does though
A sawed off shotgun is essentially a melee weapon.
A very deadly, quick, and effective melee weapon.
