Since many of these comments are directed right at me I guess I should respond even though Gene chose to leave the list. First of all it is apparent that Gene screwed up and mentioned something that he realized was not smart to mention. He then decided to blame everyone else for the fact that he mentioned it.
Now first of all the question was asked and it was said by the original poster to answer him directly but serveral people thought it had information that is relevant to the list. I believe that it is very relevant. Second calling everyone on the list a moron is indeed a personal attack just because he is doing it to a group instead of one person doesn't make it any less personal. In fact he did directly attack me! I am the one who brought up stainless steel flare guns and guess what not only are they not sawed off shot guns but since most of them are WWII vintage or older so they would be a collectors item and under different rules. Maybe because Gene felt the need to saw a shot gun barrel down to less than 18" makes him an expert on what makes a flare gun into a shot gun I don't know. On to his last point where was I? Well I was involved in the conversation and until this no one had any problems with the discussion. So I guess we should end this topic before we "force" someone else into revealing the fact that they are breaking federal fireams laws.
