    Our tax dollars: At Work. This litigation’s costing a fortune and basically comes down to a technical detail of the wording of a requirement in the law.

    You’d think the government would have better things to spend it’s time and resources on than this.

      Imo, this seems like an extremely reasonable thing for the government to spend money on. It would have been better if they had worded the law better in the first place. But after the lawsuits we will know either way if that type of device is legal or not.

      Yeah, it’s a waste of time if we ignore statistics like the leading cause of death for children being gun violence. A line has to be drawn somewhere with every law and I don’t see any real justification for why this mod outweighs the lives of all the kids who will die in the next school shooting. Is being able to shoot a couple extra clay pigeons for ‘sport’ worth it at that cost?
