I'm sure at this point some of you are thinking, "But aren't detachable shoulder stocks illegal?" Well the answer is yes - and no. For modern handguns they certainly are. But the ATF has ruled that some handguns in their curio and relic status can have their shoulder stocks.

What he should have said was that a modern handgun with a shoulder stock is a short barreled rifle and requires routine BATFE authorization to possess, make or transfer as well as payment of a $200 tax unless licensed to do so.
While I expect media like CNN and Fox News to lie about gun control, it is sad to see a gun magazine attempt to convince its readers that any type of firearm in the USA is illegal.
