“Under no pretext"

Rules (Under review):

1. NO BUYING, SELLING OR TRADING of guns or accessories. Take that to Reddit and /r/GunAccessoriesForSale or Armslist.com
1. Censor all personally identifiable information in posts including serial numbers on firearms.
1. Any post or comment advocating illegal action will be removed and the poster warned. A second infraction will result in a ban.
1. Unironically suggesting the SKS as a usable rifle in the 21st Century when there are things like the AK and AR that cost only a bit more might result in a ban, it depends on how we feel.
1. Discussion of hunting is acceptable but please put "CW: hunting" in post titles. Debating the ethicality of hunting is also fine, but keep it civil and don't derail other people's threads.

It just doesn't feel possible to make any consumer safety regulation for guns that wouldn't ultimately "infringe" as it were.

At the end of the day it was always designed to cause massive bodily harm at a distance. Hell, Sig could just remarket the 320 as a competition pistol for like the consumer accuracy division or whatever because of the "competition read light trigger pull" and then it's a compelling sell.
