likewise, the elephant rifle I keep in my home in SWOhio is so intimidating, that my farm has NEVER EVER been invaded by elephants
I wouldn't say that it is their "only" use, but it is certainly what they were designed to do. As someone who has been trained to shoot fully automatic firearms, they are not the kind of firearms I would want to own. Since leaving the Marine Corps 42 years ago I have had very little need to repel hordes of armed enemies. Semiautomatic is where every discriminating shooter would go, unless they are being nostalgic and opting for something more primitive. As Rucker61 correctly pointed out, fully automatic firearms are just a very loud way to waste a lot of money and serve very little purpose beyond suppressing enemy fire.
I sold the Reminington .458 Win. Mag. that I initially bought it just prior to moving to Alaska, in anticipation of hunting brown bear. However, shortly after arriving in Alaska I determined that I had no interest in eating bear, and therefore no reason to hunt them. I had my Mossberg Model 500 with an 18.5" rifled barrel for defense, so I really had no use for such a cannon.
I accept your concession.
your posts are far closer to drivel than anything he writes.
Or supercilious serial spammers.
You don’t think the federal government controls what medicines you are allowed to take. Interesting.
How many times are these things used in violent crimes.
They certainly can control what medications can be manufactured in the US. They don't seem to be very good at preventing anyone from taking medicines they aren't legally allowed to take.
Exactly what is google going to tell me, other than someone else's opinion?
The regulation violates ex post facto clause of the constitution, this will be adjudicated.
gun haters hope the government will ruin the lives of gun owners who have never harmed anyone by their gun ownership.
I realize some are frantic to ignore facts and sling empty rhetoric around. The government is run by many 'unelected' bureaucrats. Like most positions that head major branches, Senate confirmation is part of the process. (Course many Presidents to include tRump use 'acting' heads if the Senate baulks at the choice.)
another example of you trying to attack gun owners for their perceived political leans. The fact is, the ATF originally ok'd the sale of these things-like the "pistol brace" "stocks" and now wants to change its official position so as to fellate the Anti gun politicians running the federal government nowI realize some are frantic to ignore facts and sling empty rhetoric around.

Got to love the Rabid Right's use of unelected as if there is something commie or un-American. A legal/governmental scholar such as yourself knows very well hundreds of positions are filled 'unelected' to include supreme courts Justices. Hucklebee's wailing about unelected bureaucrats is a classic Rabid Right Rant.
Seems to me the precedent was set back in the 30's when machine guns were declared contraband (to use your view of the word). I'm not sure when these triggers became available, but it seems like they are pretty new. Manys the time a new product comes on the market only to be banned, or highly regulated. I'd opine if you try to skirt the spirit, letter of the law don't be surprised when your bubble gets a pin in it...
Not so fast. A designer drug that gets around current laws doesn't get ex post anything...
