burbleflyer 0 #1 March 19, 2004 http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2004-03-18-brady-atf_x.htm QuoteWASHINGTON (AP) — A gun control group filed a lawsuit Thursday accusing the Justice Department of aiding gun manufacturers in skirting assault weapons laws. The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, along with the Million Mom March, said the Justice Department's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives allowed gun makers to replace the housing for the firing mechanism on legally owned semiautomatic assault weapons, which the groups say violates the 1994 Assault Weapon Act. The law makes it illegal for a person to manufacture, transfer or possess a semiautomatic assault weapon. Weapons possessed before the law was enacted are exempt. The Brady Campaign contends in its lawsuit that manufacturing a new housing — or "receiver" — is prohibited because that in effect creates a new gun, and that gun should be banned.

Guest #2 March 19, 2004 mmm.... BBBBzzzzt! WRONG. The silly 1994 "law" makes it unlawful to import or manufacture (for public use - cops and mil are exempt) a firearm that has an unacceptable combination of "evil features", such as a pistol grip, flash suppressor, bayonet lug, etc. mh mh ."The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."

JohnRich 4 #3 March 19, 2004 QuoteA gun control group filed a lawsuit Thursday accusing the Justice Department of aiding gun manufacturers in skirting assault weapons laws. The Brady Bunch is good for laughs. They got a law passed banning cosmetic features on guns, such as bayonet lugs and flash suppressors. So the manufacturers complied with the law by removing those features and producing the same guns without them. And now the Brady Bunch says this is "skirting" the law? Hah! It's like saying someone is "skirting the law" by driving 55 mph in a 55 mph zone. How dare they comply with the law to the maximum extent allowable!
