I dunno, looks like it should be banned to me. High capacity mag, enhanced sighting system, modified bolt to allow faster rate of fire, easy to conceal ammo enhanced for accuracy, even a tactical thingy to clip to your clothing....

All this and a PISTOL GRIP fitted to the shooter (must make it more deadly!!)...I think those "snow covers" on the enhanced sights are probably bad too.

You did not watch the video, it has a black thing that flips up, just thought that was standard equipment now ;)

Correct, I’d have given you a pass had you said doohickey.

Actually I was watching the woman's biathlon and envisioning it as a good squirrel set up. I could glide silently through the forest on skis with the rifle in that harness and then when one sees the squirrel, pop, supper :D

Minneapolis allows squirrel hunting in the park system right? :twisted:

Fun Fact, I was advised by MPLS animal control that anything that fires a projectile, inclusive of a bb gun or slingshot, is considered a firearm in the city.

Bonus fun fact, the preferred, and animal control endorsed, method to dispatch animals such as pigeons or squirrels is drowning them by hand. :?

I worked with a guy that had rabbits for his kids 4H projects. He for some reason needed to put one down and held it in a water bucket to do it. I could not do that. I’ve killed lots of animals but I couldn’t do that.

That does not compute. Mpls bans discharge of any firearm but has archery courses in their parks. They do consider air rifles and I believe air soft as firearms but not "any projectile". Not sure about a sling shot but it would seem to be very difficult to classify that as a firearm.

While Minneapolis doesn’t directly address the use of bows and arrows, the city’s definition of weapon might be construed to prohibit archery except when as part of an organized activity or at a range.

Cool video, there was another going around on Facebook and it had me looking up the prices of the actions before the video was over.

So how exactly does this classify a slingshot as a firearm?
