After 10 Years, Shoestrings No Longer Classified as Machineguns in the USA

[Crazed Rabbit]

Huzzah! One bit of the towering mountain of stupidity that are US gun laws has been done away with.

Stupid loop holes in the gun laws.

Stupid loop holes in the gun laws.

Yeah, a lot of people were tied up on that one and strung out to dry. The lawmaker's drinks must have been laced with something when they enacted that back in the day. Glad it finally got the boot, now the gun nuts can get back to sneaking around with their hardware.

I wonder how much we payed some government analysts to determine first that a shoe string was in fact a machine gun, and then to run the appropriate tests to come to the conclusion that it probably was not a machine gun. This is a sick republic indeed. :dizzy2:

I...I have to confess - I never registered my shoe laces. None of them. I'll have to turn myself in to the authorities in the morning. :shame:

They don't allow shoe strings in prison, do they Hosa? I can understand now why. :ballchain:


BTW, excellent punnery Whacker. :thumbsup:

Know what, what makes this silly is that we can all go out and buy a 20mm cannon tomorrow ... or any knife, any size ... tomorrow. Good luck with that. Unless you see the necessity of owning a 20mm - end of the world and all that.
