I understand the slipery slope argument and I really do agree. I was just pointing out why this was put into place. I don't know this for a fact but I expect that a lot of it comes from gang warfare and law enforcement. I agree that it's stupid and will not deter any criminals who will modify or have their weapons modified anyway and it should fall to the wayside.
Instead of stupid laws like this we should just increase the penalty for using firearms of ANY sort in a crime and then allocate $$$ to enforce the law.
