An antique FIREARM is exempt from ATF legislation that effect other CLASSES of FIREARMS. It is however listed by the ATF as a CLASS of FIREARM.
Above is the ATF definition of what makes an antique FIREARM a antique FIREARM. Notice the multiple references in the ATF definition to them being FIREARMS.
There are certain users of these forums that believe antique FIREARMS are in fact physically not FIREARMS because firearm legislation does not apply antique FIREARMS.
So I put it out to you, the intelligent members of these forums, are antique FIREARMS actually firearms?
Edit: because one particular user is grasping at straws and crying I have edited the introduction, in particular this part:
"Does that mean that antique FIREARMS are not firearms?" because they claim that is what people are voting yes on, rather than the actual question outlined at the end.
Remember an antique car is still a car...
Antique jewellery, still jewellery...
Pretty basic to understand.
Edit 2:
13% of people don't understand that to be deemed an "antique firearm"'it must first be deemed a "firearm".

20 Risposte[quote][quote]LOL you are sighting legislation! 2. A. and B. Read them.[/quote] (D) any destructive device. [b]Such term does not include an antique firearm[/b] Again, lack of comprehension [quote]You are stating legislation for firearms. I have the definition as defined by the ATF.[/quote] https://www.atf.gov/file/11241/download what is the site address? Isnt it ATF? AGAIN, comprehension failure.. [quote]I have never claimed legislation has any effects of antique firearms, but only that antique firearms are a class of firearms, and therefore firearms. The fact that they are called "antique firearms" and fall under a category of "firearm" under the ATF, hence it having specific rules/exemptions/a definition of a type/class of firearm means it is... A firearm! Thank you for showing everyone who utterly stupid you are![/quote] The term [b]“firearm” shall not include an antique firearm[/b] or any device (other than a machinegun or destructive device) which, although designed as a weapon, the Secretary finds by reason of the date of its manufacture, value, design, and other characteristics is primarily a collector’s item and is [b]not likely to be used as a weapon.[/b] AGAIN, comprehension failure. LOL, your logic: "I don't care if the ATF in America doesn't consider Antique Firearms a firearm in America! I'm an Australian soldier so I know better!" I keep coming back for the laughs, thx[/quote] Were you this butt hurt?
