Would you object to a story about a new derivative structure that allowed banks to dodge DanTex Sep 2013 #15

we do not have a limit as far Duckhunter935 Sep 2013 #24

We also have an exception right now for guns. DanTex Sep 2013 #25

I do not think this story qualifies for an exception Duckhunter935 Sep 2013 #28

The fact that effectively full-auto weapons can be sold due to a loophole in the law DanTex Sep 2013 #30

as shown in this thread Duckhunter935 Sep 2013 #32

In which case the loophole in the law is even bigger than the OP says. DanTex Sep 2013 #35

Adjustable, yes. krispos42 Sep 2013 #58

Only if it's spring-loaded a certain way. krispos42 Sep 2013 #86

Why? If it serves no purpose, then why ban it, because it seems scary? nt Adrahil Sep 2013 #54
