I know why they have to say it, but if those things are pistols then so is my M-1 rifle.
Worse yet, GF, every one of those is a felony to posses in Florida with those binary triggers… 🙁
I thought the complaint with Florida was it’s policy on ‘non-binary’ education?
Geoff, I didn’t know that. Again, it’s one of those things that I don’t care about, but shouldn’t be illegal. Yeah, I’ve heard the argument, “They’ll come for your duck gun next!” Binary triggers? Really? Just go do the paperwork, spend the money, and buy an automatic weapon. Same with a bump stock. Then again, the government handed me my first automatic weapon in 1979. I turned in my last automatic weapon to the government in 2014. They are fun, but they’re almost pedestrian to me. As an aside do you have any large caliber Colt SAA, or S&W revolvers at your disposal?
