Every gun is an assault weapon ... as long as we continue to condone personal firearms of any shape or size, we’ll remain trapped in a brutal, heart-breaking version of “Groundhog Day.” [More]"Genocide John" Morlino evidently thinks civil war is the answer.

But No One is Talking About Taking Your Guns

I have long been convinced that the emphasis on MSRs is merely a tactic. The Demanding Moms and others know a ban, even if it could be enforced, will make no difference. They will use its failure to press for wider bans. They have focused on MSRs because, to the uninitiated, they look menacing, and because they wrongly believe only a minority of gun owners have an interest in them.
"Lest we forget, the massacre in Littleton, Colo. took place during the federal government’s so-called “assault weapon ban.” Those laws, however, were written in such a convoluted way that, without much effort, you could still legally purchase a gun that was both rapid-firing and didn’t need to be reloaded every few seconds. In many instances, you could even buy what amounted to a carbon copy of a prohibited model. All you needed to do was wait for the manufacturer to not-so-surreptitiously tweak a couple of design characteristics (a task easily accomplished without altering any of its firepower), change the name and model number, and, presto, place your order."
One man's loop-hole is another man's compliance. Except when it comes to gun shows, in that case, loop-holes just don't exist.
The focus on MSRs because once America has “agreed” to ban even one gun, the dam is breached, and other guns are only a matter of “tweaking the language.”
NOT. ONE. GUN.

I'm not sure when Ford and others began offering seat belts as optional equipment, but I do know that my best friend's 1957 Fairlane had them from the factory. Then in 1968, FedGov made them mandatory for all cars sold in the USA. Now when manufacturers began putting seat belts in all cars for the domestic market, were they exploiting a loophole or complying with the law?
The 1994 AWB prohibited future manufacture or sale of a list of firearms plus any which had two or more characteristics from a list, one of which was a flash hider. Colt completely removed the flash hider on their "post ban" AR15s while Springfield Armory just stopped cutting the slots all the way through on their M1A. Were they exploiting a loophole or complying with the law?
One question we're not supposed to ask (apparently): Who are the clowns who keep writing laws that are full of these "loopholes"?
How many revisions of the original Roberti-Roos law has California gone through? I've lost track. Yet you can still buy an ARES SCR, an AR15 "work like" in all 50 states.
It even has a "shoulder thing that goes up."
King George said the same thing about the colonists.
