The action committee led by the President and his staff see this as an "Assault Rifle"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AR-10
So then what do you call this ?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1A_rifle
Do you know what the difference in these two models of rifles are ?
Collapsible or folding stock , and a pistol grip.
Under the old AWB the M1A rifle was considered banned because it was shipped with a boyonet lug. NOT because it has the capability of holding a 30 round magazine, or was semi-automatic.
These are the people who are running this country at the moment. Bunch of dumb asses.
Btw..Im against any kind of limitations on freedom this administration is trying to enforce. Dont get this post wrong, just trying to show an example of what they are trying to impose on the nation with the term "Assault Rifle."
