| Why are barrels shorter than 16" on a rifle considered so dangerous the goverment made them class 3? But you can buy a TC contender with a short barrel? These laws make no sense. What was there logic? |

Because those barrels are for pistols not a rifle configuration. Congress has determined (the only smart thing they have ever done)that only honest target/hunters buy the Thompson/Center Contenders and that there has not been any proof that gang members use that single shot gun. So they made the call that posession of the THAT SPECIFIC reciever, stock, pistol grip, long and short barrels IS NOT posession or conspiracy to build a unregistered SBR, stating that its up the the descression of the owner to know the difference and to keep it legal.
