I find the lengths US gun owners go to to avoid having to pay $200 in tax to own a "short barrelled rifle" endlessly fascinating

Stuff like "oh, this is a pistol with an... uh... arm brace" and "this doesn't have a rifled barrel so it's not a rifle"

Guys, you're spending ridiculous amounts of money here, just pay the relatively minor tax

@troubleMoney XD
At least those taxes would stay in the US. seems a bit of a different case.

You have a gift for understatement :-) "that has historically not gone well for us"
