kallend 2,026 #26 November 3, 2007 QuoteThat was EXACTLY what the pro-2nd Amendment folks were up in arms about - the banning of an entire class of weapons SOLELY due to cosmetic features, and the fact of the bald lie about them being 'assault rifles'. An "assault rifle" is a weapon firing a medium power round, having the capability to fire in bursts or fully automatic. A Bushmaster AR-15 is NOT an assault weapon regardless of the configuration of the stock, the muzzle brake or the inclusion of a bayonet lug. I agree. Cosmetic features are not in the slightest bit relevant.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnRich 4 #28 November 5, 2007 QuoteSo you're saying it's not a gun show loophole, it's an unqualified loophole. So let's just call it a loophole. It's only a "loophole" if your basis of definition is that all gun sales should be regulated by the government. (It doesn't surprise me that you would think in that manner.) Since the law currently allows private sales, at gun shows or anywhere else, therefore private sales are not a "loophole". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
