The Boulder gunman bought an AR-15 pistol days before opening fire.

An AR-15 pistol looks like an AR-15 rifle and shoots rounds like one too.

But in the eyes of the federal government it’s just a “pistol.” Wondering why? ⬇️ washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/03…
An AR-15 pistol functions just like a short-barrel rifle. Short-barrel rifles are strictly regulated under the National Firearms Act because they're easy to conceal and can penetrate bullet proof vests worn by police.

But guess what? AR-15 pistols aren’t regulated under the NFA.
Gun manufacturers specifically modified and designed AR-15 and AK-47 pistols to side step NFA regulation of short-barrel rifles.

These weapons escape the NFA’s definition of short-barreled rifles because they aren't designed to be fired from the shoulder.
