Also, by these Dems calling rifles "Weapons of mass destruction", didn't they just totally prove that Bush was right and Iraq had weapons of mass destruction?
This is why they have the secondary definition using the feature test.Just curious, couldn't companies come up with new names for their product? i.e. S&W could rename their rifles the Modern Musket (or MM-15) and suddenly it's not banned.
At the risk of fines, imprisonment and losing their FFL? Probably zero.I also wonder how many companies will "accidentally" include 10-round big-bore AR-15 magazines with their .223 version
I'm guessing that the list of specific models is just to give you some examples...I like how the Barrett M82 and the FN FAL are "AR types".
Banning the AR-15 and AK platform would pretty much spark civil war. I'm not calling for insurrection or warcries, but it's plain and simple that if you take the two most popular rifles in the country and make it illegal, everyone with those rifles will be mad.
Noticed the M-14/M1A is not listed, neither is SKS.
Shotguns, they're pretty much looking at Saiga-12. I wonder how they feel about the three high-cap tube-fed shotguns (the Kel-Tec, the other one like Kel-Tec, and the one with the rotating tubes) or the Saiga 20/410.
The sad thing is these weapons, especially the pistols mentioned, are rarely used in crime, but are all (well...again, except for the pistols) very good tools for fighting crime.
howd feinstein get my wishlist?
At the risk of fines, imprisonment and losing their FFL? Probably zero.
and it would really hurt those companies
Nor is any 10-22 as near as I can see.
I expect that they would start manufacturing AR and AK rifles w/ no pistol grip or telescoping stock and throw a 10-round magazine in the box.Well then I wonder if Magpul will just start putting out 10-round PMAGs for a big-bore caliber. Unless the feds want to ban that entire cartridge, they wouldn't be able to stop the sale and production.
The "only X amount loaded" clause could still apply though.
I wonder what companies outside the US, like Sig, HK, et al. think of this. Forcing them to use thumbhole stocks just made them do a bit of R&D. Banning their product entirely means a loss of revenue for the company. I know they aren't U.S. citizens, but we have the biggest gun market, and it would really hurt those companies.
Ya know, it really is bad when an American proposes banning a .22 rimfire of any kind! The .22 is about as 'American' as firearms can get.Nor is any 10-22 as near as I can see.
I wonder how many people will understand that reference? [To the Möbius strip ]
At any rate, I've never heard this one before. Mind if I borrow it occasionally?
Sometimes I wonder if our honorable senators and representatives that are in their golden years ought to be subjected to regular testing to ensure that they are in complete control of their mental facilities.
I'll be curious to see what is actually in the bill on that topic. If I had to guess, it will be a "domestic assembly" and/or "domestic parts mix" issue... Whatever it is, there will be money involved and it will at least increase the cost of doing business in the US for those companies.mrvco, if they include harsher limits on importation of semi-automatic weapons, these companies could be seriously hurt by this legislation.
Derry, thanks for the compliment.
