Sawed Off Shotguns

[DWalt]

Just one last thing from me on this. I have in my safe a 14 inch Benelli brl for their Marine Corps shotgun. We were told that for my friend to have it in his possession WITH the shotgun in his home, before the paper work comes back is prima facia evidence that he INTENDS to put it together. The visiting agent, while telling us this with a smile, was DEAD serious. This also falls into the column of "if they want you..they will get you."

Same argument applies if you have a semiautomatic firearm and also possess the parts (or even one part) which can be used to convert it to full automatic, even if you keep the part(s) in your sock drawer. You then are considered to have an unregistered and illegal NFA weapon.

Just googling around, I happened upon this example of (some sections of federal gov) attitudes. "That some weapons are inherently violent".....
