I'm a new guy here, and new guys can be suspect.
So let me frame it like this:
I believe that a citizen should own whatever he or she wants. If you are a citizen and not a felon and wish to own a full auto AK with a 2 inch barrel and an infinite ammo drum, good on you. I support that.
My question is from a technical standpoint.
I'll assume an SBR carries a tax stamp because it might be concealed. Never mind that an AR pistol is concealed a little more easily, and can be done so legally, without a tax stamp.
I'm making an educated guess that an SBR AR sacrifices a degree of power. It certainly has to sacrifice some range.
From a Joe Citizen standpoint, I see it as less than optimal for home defense. A shotgun is probably better, certainly cheaper.
For me, the SBR has limited practical applications. I've asked around, nobody can offer anything beyond "It looks cool", "This is what SEALs use", or "Because Liberals don't want you to have it".
All I can come up with is brush gun, and I think there are better choices for that.
So why the SBR?
