Why do sbr's need to be registered?

Well that's 2010. Based on how crappy our economy and currency are doing...$3221 is approximately .48 cents

Yeah, it certainly couldn't have gotten any better.

I thought it was kind of strange that a Beretta CX4 Storm was shorter than my SBR'd Thompson and one was legal and the other needed government approval...

I thought about the cx4 storm too. It's legally a rifle because the barrel is longer than 16" and the overall length is longer than 26". Sbr have barrels that are shorter than 16". So in theory a sbr can br longer than your cx4 storm buts it's the barrel length that makes it a sbr. Again this is another example of why the sbr classification doesn't make sense to me

It's barrel and overall length. But yes some bullpups and similiar get right up to that line.
