Going to call a few more later to get a wider pool of opinions but for now smokos over.

That sounds awesome, but I kinda doubt it. The law just states that anything under 762mm is a handgun, doesn't mention anything about that only applying to A cats. If it is true, what stops us from getting handguns on E?
