Custom SL8

They could have made the stock non-folding instead and a 10 round mag would solve any New Yorker's problem

wouldn't that essentially just make it a normal SL8?

Take the alpha dog of the pack and chop his balls off. He won't be alpha for very long.

Basically, doing all that crap to the gun the same thing. It isn't nearly as cool once it's been NY-neutered.

Not give it the thumb hole stock like a regular SL8. I meant make the skeleton stock non folding. I seriously dont seen the reason why folding stock are banned

Folding stock=less overall length=easier to fit in a trenchcoat.

That's jist saying anyone with a hack saw can just chop the barrel and the stock of any gun to make it concealable in a trench coat. And seriously who wears a fucking trench coat today? You see a guy walking around in a trench coat and that's just begging for attention

But once you saw off a gun stock, it's that size for good.

With a folding stock, you can hide a folded full sized weapon in your jacket (not even a trenchcoat if you can hide it correctly) and bring it to full length for easier use once it's pulled out. While I can understand why this would scare libtards, us law abiding citizens wouldn't need to use it for crime. The criminals who buy them regardless from the black market on the other hand...

While I have no plans to commit crimes, I discovered I could hide my Mossberg Cruiser under my jacket if I stuck the muzzle in my pants pocket and crutched the pistol grip under my arm. This would fit also with a folding stock on it as well, so the criminal efficiency is obvious.

I'd just want one so I could fold my shotgun up at home and unfold it for use if someone broke in...

You're trying to use logic on gun control. This is the same movement that once saved America from the incredibly common horror of drive-by rifle grenadings and gangland bayonet charges, and knows that .50 cal rifles can flip over railway cars because bullets don't have to obey the law of conservation of momentum.

don't forget the dread barrel shrouds

Well, I sometimes wore a long black coat to work when I was employed at a law firm. It was kind of trench coat-ish, but it didn't make me look like a criminal. Just a douchebag.

Anyway, folding stocks were one of the features that gun controllers deemed as characteristic of "assault weapons". It's not a totally far-out idea (I know for a fact that I can easily fit my AK under a long coat with the stock removed, and I'm not even that tall a guy), but it doesn't make much sense considering that barrel lengths for rifles are already mandated at 16" or more, which negates any chance of concealing most rifles, folding stock or no.

Not to mention...have any criminals ever even tried to conceal rifles beneath trench coats? Aside from "Heat" (where the robbers used 11.5-inch ARs that wouldn't be legal for civvies to own unless registered as SBRs), I don't think I've ever heard of criminals doing this. Anyone who values a concealable weapon chooses handguns, plain and simple.
