A flash suppressor isn't a "cosmetic feature" - it is clearly functional.



Then cite in the law where that function is defined and the purpose for including it.

A flash suppressor isn't a "cosmetic feature" regardless of what any law says. It serves a function.

They are and each has a specific function

They have a function? I thought you said they were COSMETIC? Do you know what the word means? Seriously, I can't argue with someone who insists on using the wrong definition for words.

BTW, only one of those was mentioned in the law but was applied to encompass the other two.

The law clearly states a barrel that is threaded to accept a flash suppressor meets the definition - regardless of what the threads are actually used for.

Further, some linear compensators and muzzle brakes also act as flash suppressors. If it reduces the visual and auditory impact of the flash on the eyes and ears of the shooter - its a flash suppressor. Whether or not it does this can be objectively determined using digital photography and sound recording equipment.
