Defining

Imagine sitting down and looking at how the Feds define things and then creating something that slips through the cracks to be the thing that's illegal without breaking the law.

It's not far fetched at all.

That is not a short barreled shotgun by the legal definitions.

But it most certainly IS a short barreled shotgun.

The difficulty in defining something legally well enough to take action is an old story.

The famous one is about obscenity and the judge saying, "I know it when I see it!" 

Just like that Remington really is a short barrel shotgun, groups like Antifa have organized themselves around the gaps in the law and that keeps them from being prosecuted even though what they're up do is exactly what would normally trigger a response from law enforcement.

Everyone can see they are, but legally they are not.

But I think that the weasel room is going to get very narrow soon because the ham sandwich indictment method leaves no outs and the FBI will just start nailing them on any of the three felonies a day we all commit unknowingly.

A couple deals is all it takes to break this up.

I would not be shocked to find West Taiwan at the heart of all this dissent either.
