So, people are taking legally purchased pistols, adding these devices marketed as stabilizing braces but which are actually shoulder stocks and changing the character of the gun, transforming it into an unregistered short-barreled rifle.
The United States is a country of 350 million with the world's largest economy and a proud tradition of accepting refugees, asylum seekers, and immigrants.
The reason is pretty clear: Short-barrel rifles can have the conceal-ability and maneuverability of a pistol but with the fire power and accuracy of a rifle.
It would put migrants in an uncertain dangerous situation as Mr. Cicilline said and would transfer our responsibilities to countries that have minimal resources.
