Just wondering... If you secured a sighted pistol into a rig like this and shot it from a table, might that affect its classification?
At least the mud is still muddy.

It's all about "intent".
So in other words, let's prosecute someone for something he hasn't done yet.
If you mean Nicks examples the fictional person made the pistol, made a video bragging about getting around nfa paperwork then shoulder fired it, what did they not do yet?
If that's not what you mean then sorry, I haven't had coffee yet and can you clarify please.

I missed the part where he fired it.
Even still, I don't see where that should even matter. The whole thing is a crock. The braces aren't manufactured and marketed to be used as stocks any more than dinner forks are manufactured and marketed for scratching my balls with. Ordinary buffer tubes aren't designed to be used as stocks either, but I'm sure people do it.
I'm not liking the slippery slope this may lead to, all because of the "constructive intent" precedent that was set. That little gem can stretched all sorts of different ways.
