SpudFiles

Well I have a friend who wants to make a nice spudgun, but his mom, who's a lawyer, argues with him that it would be considered a firearm/weapon and that it could be classified as a pipe bomb. I'm trying to find some sort of documents that he could show his mom to prove her wrong.

Does anybody else have or know evil mothers like this? Feel free to share.

Do you live in the US? If so search for the ATF letter

yes I do, I'll search that now.

edit: omg which one is it? There are probably 300 of them.

edit: nevermind I found it.

Its BATF letter more specifically.

You could actualy find it in the "OTHER" section, its up at the top, below the album.

I think its in the spud wiki

Hahahahaha.......'pipe bomb' lol.

It makes me angry when people who don't know what their talking about are the ones who make the rules.

Yes your honor, no your honor, i understand your honor, i'll do better your honor.

Tell him to make a pneumatic, they’re airarms, and by FEDERAL law, cannot be called a firearm by local governments, I think, I’m going to check that now…

Its a good quote, but doesn't work well when applied to homemade flash powder or hybrid spudguns

EDIT: What the hell? I quoted somone and then their post dissapeared???? WTF is going on???

Shes probably just scared for your safety and trying to protect you, yet in reality if theyre built right theyre incredibly safe,just tell her how you want to build one and mabey she will realize she was wrong and that they are safe, and just have to remember that "to make a discovery first you must make a mistake" (i dont know who said it but they were a genius).

sorry insomniac, i edited my post to add a sentence but i messed up but its back again

And i agree homemade flashpowder you just want to discover without the mistake, even though it rarely works out that way

Now I'm even more confused, I quoted somone before they posted......

Canuckicks, did you post somthing, then delete it, then post it again after I quoted it???

I'm so confused

I don’t know, I’ve had that happen too, I’ve also had half my post vanish for no good reason, oh and topics keep vanishing and reappearing (I click the link and it says something about topic vanished and go back and click it again and it’s back.).
Oh and about the federal law on airguns, I can’t find it…but I’ll keep looking…
