"I assume you're just being silly here. You think the Court is going to quibble about where exactly your "shoulder" stops and your "chest" begins?"
The ATF ruled a "stock", intended for the groin area would not change pistol status, so it is a valid question. But typically, in these 'technical' areas, a court will tend to defer to the 'experts' which in this case happen to be the ATF (I guess since the Tech Branch aren't the prosecutors, they can claim no conflict of interest). That is why safety sears are held to always be autosears (machineguns)
