Iirc the flipper zero is specifically outlawed in a number of countries.

Dunno about the US though.

nah, the 14 inch shoelace i'm making fun of the ATF (a friend of mine specifically). here is the decision (doesn't name him) reversing his finding.

the funniest part is, the original decision didn't quite find that a 14 inch shoelace was an automatic firearm, it just described how a 14 inch shoelace could modify a regular semiautomatic firearm into an automatic firearm. And of course bureaucratic government language meant that that 14 inch length of bootlace with a loop in the end was by definition an automatic firearm.

dude and i haven't talked in over a decade, we drifted apart over politics (he's far right. i am decidedly not) which is a shame. he is one of the funniest people i've known, but, uh. wish he could see the damage he's done and doing.

also, you're not going to believe me. i know it looks wrong too. that's why i call it Angusing now
