I trust the DOJ to be able to distinguish between a 2 inch pipe and more deliberate devices.

Let me introduce you to our friends the ATF. Or the USDA and their wonderful food pyramid. Government agencies have agendas. You should look at facts and not blindly trust them.

Here? Prolly none. Still, it's not exactly a situation where you need a government authority to choose a position, is it?
