I'll ask my wise brothers for some feedback on something that has been nagging at me since SB281 went into effect.
Why would an HBAR profile be acceptable for an AR build (80% or stripped lower) or if purchasing a complete rifle from a shop vs. illegal if using government, light or pencil barrel profiles?
How does the HBAR variant make the gun supposedly safer?
I can throw as many bullets down range in the same amount of time using any of the profiles. The barrel profile does not limit the number of rounds a gun can hold. The weight differential is ounces (maybe up to 1lb) - but not pounds. Its not like a bad guy is going to say - Gee, the gun is too heavy with this damn HBAR barrel so I'll take something else with me to the robbery/shooting spree I'm planning on this week.
Better something than nothing I guess (rather than a complete ban) but who the hell thought this up?
Any significant rationale behind this that I'm missing or was it just the ignorance of the people who wrote the law that don't really know what they're talking about?
I'm assuming the latter![Smile :) :)](https://www.mdshooters.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Any insight/comments are appreciated.
Best,
Jim
