AHHHHH Good catch! So a “firearm” used in the laws mentioned (including the disposal of / selling of) is an illegal weapon. In other words I can have 1000 18.5" barrel shotguns and can own or sell all day long. BUT if they are of illegal type/charactoristics is deemed a “firearm” by their definition by fitting into the criteria you posted, making it illegal.
