Had to chuckle at the Bersa Thunder 380 in the Glock category, and the '62 Belvedere in the AK-47 column. But why stop there? The Glocks(choke) should all also be in the assault weapon category,Ja? And as I recall, according to the BATFECES accounting model, a double barrel shotgun is a fully automatic rifle.(fires more than one shot at a time)

i had a'66 Belvedere with a ton of rust that was faster than the muzzle velocity of an AK47. It was so ugly and decrepit looking I could roll by a patrol car at 100mph+ and they would assume the radar was off and never fire up to come get me. Hell they couldn't have caught me anyway. Motorola would have had to do the dirty work.

I used to leave Lima, Oh., go to Dayton turn west, go through Indy, take 69 out for just a little way cut across country and be 352miles away in my driveway in 3.5 hours. Every weekend. that rusty blue sonofabitch would run. Always had to pull over at least once when it would jump lanes and re-tighnten the worm gear in the steering box. At least once every trip. But damn that bitch was fast and fun. My second fastest car.
