Oh, wait, they're probably talking about factory-made cut-down pistol versions of rifles, utilizing ammo that was intended for full-length barrels and not stubby little 8" tubes, therefore wasting a lot of powder and power when firing, whose only benefits are large magazine capacities, huge fireballs from the muzzle, and a certain "cool factor" existing amongst those who don't know any better?

Seriously, though, this is yet another un-Constitutional overreach, one that would be slapped down immediately if our Congress and judiciary had any spine left to them. Much as I deride the AR and AK pistols, I might just have to buy or build one now, just to stick a certain finger in the eye of yet more tyranny by bureaucracy. I find them to be interesting toys, yet of little practical use... but tell me I can't have them, and I want one just to snub my nose in defiance.
