Their argument has holes in it.
They assert that competitive shooters and people with home -defense in mind own and use "short-barreled rifles".
Given that they are NFA items, how can this be true? I sincerely doubt that many people can afford the $200 tax stamp and the ATF-approved gun safe to legally own them.
Stuff like this doesn't do our side any good. Yes, short-barreled rifles should not be NFA items, but lying to achieve their reclassification leaves us vulnerable. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
