I see, via Kathy Shaidle, that the ATF is again getting wobbly on the definition of a firearm. This is serious business, because whenever they change these things, they make a lot of private property suddenly illegal, and get innocent gunowners in trouble with authorities who like to enforce laws by breaking down doors.

But it reminds me of my favorite joke about the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.

“A man, hearing that there is a government Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms calls them up an asks ‘Can you tell me what wine goes with an M-16?’

The ATF guy on the other end says ‘That depends, what are you smoking?’
