Of course it is. I admit I kinda hoped they would actually try to make the case that a rifle handguard of any type was a “barrel shroud”, but either they aren’t that stupid or they realized people had noticed thier game and pretended it didn’t happen. I could see them trying to prosecute people for having a semi-auto rifle with a handguard, they really are that asinine. Would have made demolishing this abomination way easier.
