I understand most of the basics of what the AWB prohibits, but am confused by one of the items below (plagarized from another source):
This law banned rifles that had detachable magazines and two or more of the following characteristics:
* folding or telescoping stock
* pistol grip
* bayonet mount
* flash suppressor, or threads to attach one
* grenade launcher.
I don't fully understand the folding or telescoping stock item. If a Mini-14 has a folding stock, but none of the other items, why would it fall under the AWB? What about barrel length and overall length -- do they come into play at all in the AWB?
Also, this doesn't seem to say anything about semiauto versus bolt/lever/pump, just detachable mags, which of course, are limited to 10 rounds by the AWB.
