Suppose I take the upper from a broomhandle, load it, put the locking block in place, tape it down with lots of duct tape, and swat the back end with a mallet?

It is an interesting point that in Michigan a muzzle loading handgun does not become a firearm until you load it for the first time. It is then a firearm forever after.

Here in Iowa it is illegal to equip your firearm with a sound suppressor but you will get a ticket for lack of one on your motor vehicle unless it is a Harley or the neighbor's lawn mower.

Here in Iowa it is illegal to shoot at a deer with a 32-20 rifle on grounds that it is too powerful but it is legal to shoot at a rabbit with a 375 H&H. (Which I occasionally do. I have a jim dandy reduced load for this.)

In my home town it is illegal to tie an alligator to a parking meter. Crocodiles and caimans are legal provided you plug the meter.

Here in Linn County it is illegal to possess a rubber boa on grounds that it is a viscious animal. The rubber boa's chief claim to fame is that it is the most innocuous creature known to man. Its notion of aggressive behaviour is to roll itself into a ball with its head at the center. It reaches the grandiose length of 24 inches.

And we pay tax money to have people sit around and think this stuff up!
