I don't care all that much about the fee, I care that a rifle with a 15.9" barrel has twice the restrictions of one with a 16" barrel. It's completely illogical, and the only reason it exists is because a bunch of pearl-clutchers tried to ban pistols 90 years ago.

Ian from Forgotten Weapons put it perfectly in his video on NFA restrictions: the only reason these regulations still exist is to provide an easy avenue to ban pistols at some point in the future.
