Why would I buy this when I could put that $50 towards a full functioning restricted firearm instead of a paperweight? This sounds like a way to make a quick buck if anything.
If you read all the posts in the thread you might learn something.
JHEDSY - The point is to increase the number of firearms and thus the affected number of voters.

Is the basic idea behind it. Essentially a show of solidarity to the firearms community as well. By owning something restricted you have bought into the affected group of people in a tangible way. Even if all I want to own is a single barrel break action 410 for hunting twice a year I am still opposed to increased regulation for law abiding firearms owners, and for $50 I can actively put my name into that group. There is an argument that it is waste of time and only helps stores selling stripped frames, but year or two ago the media, anti-gun groups and prohibitionist politicians were going off about the increase in numbers of restricted firearms like it heralded Armageddon, which is weird because it meant a bunch of people were complying with existing laws.
I don't know if that answers your question in a meaningful way, but it is your money to spend or not.
Fantastic explanation. I might steal this and spread it around accordingly
Is it against the law to have these pieces of metal non trigger locked for transport/storage?
