Oh indeed... "Tromboning" the pump to make a sound that carries for a city block is VERY effective. I think it's almost a universally understood sound too. I've used it myself in a couple situations to rather satisfying effect.
I know Pistol grips have been covered under previous bans as they mount on something like the Moss 500 as well as collapsible stocks. I hadn't heard that mentioned either way in what is being proposed now and hadn't gone looking for it either. IS that also what they are banning this time around? That'd be a shame since both my 500's have pistol grips on them. They're for defense, not duck hunting after all. I have a beautiful wood stock and 28 inch barrel for that if I want to do it someday. Not useful for defense through doorways.
Door opened on purpose!

Was being defeated and sent home once not sufficient? We could repeat it for a modern day Part II.
You kinda opened that door wide enough to drive a truck through...sideways.

Man this is getting out of hand. I don't want to muddy your thread or anything, but honestly just bury a few of your potato shooters if you love them so much and call it a day until something actually interesting pops up.
I'm now in favour of the second if it'll make you lot quieten down a bit.. sheesh.
Not trying to be offensive but honestly, you're a broken record. To you it's obviously really important, but c'mon man stop littering this place with crap that highlights your point for the nth time. We truly do get it.
You like guns, other people like guns. That's great. Can we move on?

Would you like to come over and go shooting one last time before it becomes illegal to do so?
I don't have any guns personally but a guy I know.....

better make it quick, like this weekend!
The guy I know will certainly give away his soon to be illegal guns to his local Sheriffs dept soon.
It is the only right thing to do after all.
... if marching up and down the street flaunting your natural born conditions, gaining public awareness of your plight in order to obtain public acceptance of what should be your Constitutionally protected rights is perfectly legal, why not?

Well it's not a question of what you can do for me, but more a question of how we want this place (ATS) to be.
Do we want people to keep on goin' on about one issue day in day out? You've made your point, and it's a good one.
Nope of course you haven't violated any T&C. But you're giving the 1st amendment a good run for its money.
I look at this like I would religion. We can argue all day about it but no opinions will change, that change has to come from within. So why bother so much? Sure, bother a few times but c'mon, this point has been thrashed enough.
And thanks for the invite!
Again I'm not trying to be rude, it's just getting old. Having to wade through threads like this to get to something interesting is not a good way for an international forum to go imo. Yep it's very topical over there I get it. And yep, had that guy not had a gun maybe he would've been in trouble.. but again it's been thrashed to death that point (not to say it's a bad one).

Now that just does my heart good to know there are such honest citizens in the world. Yes indeed.. I'm sure millions more exist. Sadly, all my guns were stolen, just a few days ago.. Damn those criminals...they stole the filing cabinet with serial number records too! Imagine that.. must have thought there was money in it or something. I dunno....
Your friend does the nation a service by their honesty though. Pass along my thanks. (trying not to laugh)
This place should be a place of logical discussion and responsible discourse.

These were the days weren't they?
You know, when we didn't HAVE to be victims unless we really wanted to be.
The gun this man is so carelessly brandishing will no doubt be on the banned list soon.
