They are all fairly useless against REAL badguys (and gals)...but plenty good to send regular folks up the river with...for things like you described among a host of other offenses that folks didn't even know they were committing. I'm all for prosecuting the daylights out of someone for using a firearm in the commission of a crime such as murder, rape, robbery, kidnapping, etc...but all of these laws are simply onerous regulation that do NOTHING for the protection of citizens or their rights.
Wait, so you're saying that having a shotgun barrel under the arbitrarily decided upon length by our supreme overlords SHOULDN'T be grounds for murdering your family? What a novel concept! (Ruby Ridge).
