If I remember correctly anything with under a 16 inch barrel is considered a pistol according to the BATFE. Again I am not 100 percent on this.
Obviously you can configure ARs and AKs and many other "rifles" with shorter barrels. If you have less than than 16 inch barrel you can not have a butt stock on the gun since it is considered a pistol.
.22lr is also used extensively( most popular cartrige in the world) in both handguns and rifles. So blanket search warrants for.22lr wouldbe pretty much universal for every gunowners locker.

.223 could be considered a pistol round because the make pistols in the .223 cal. on example is the Sig .223 pistol there are also single shot hunting pistols that are .223 I still think is is just another move on what we as civilians can own. The military can use depleted uranium in ammo god forbid civilians get to ammo that is safe and don't.. really change a thing.

This is going to get stupid in the courts real fast.
So the BATFE are now saying that my Marlin lever action .44 MAG is now a pistol?
I think that they haven't really thought this one through.
Wow! With this Admin it's like Deja-Vue. The Good Idea fairy is running rampant. That's never a good thing.
I will defer to your lack of understanding of this. These rounds are very clearly used in rifles and amongst the most people ammunition used in rifles. This is setting a precedent for grabbing and controlling the most popular ammunition for rifles. This is not bureaucratic fumbling. This is very calculated.
