    Not when you're writing a law it doesn't. The thing that matters most in this particular case is the interpretation section. IF that section defines an MSSA as any firearm the police don't like, then an MSSA is any firearm the police don't like. Logic doesn't come into it, nor does common sense. Hence why you can get screwed right royally for technically breaking laws, but in practice not doing much to warrant it.

    In the original case I'm talking about, that is exactly what would have happened. Any rifle, or shotgun, even single shots could have been classified as an MSSA.
