In my view, the lack of a forward vertical grip rules it out as an assault weapon. John1956PA Feb 2018 #10

True, but I was 'quoting' DU's definition. trof Feb 2018 #24

A forward vertical grip is not a defining feature of an "assault weapon." Straw Man Feb 2018 #52

What about starting off real simple? The_jackalope Feb 2018 #30

California tried that with .50-cal rifles (banning a specific caliber) NickB79 Feb 2018 #36

Well, .223 is a bit more of a public health threat than .50 The_jackalope Feb 2018 #37

It's not a serious solution NickB79 Feb 2018 #42

What about prohibiting rifles with interchangeable barrels as well as a caliber and capacity ban? The_jackalope Feb 2018 #46

That is a hunting gun. As another poster noted you can't hunt with an AR 15 as it destroys the meat. Demsrule86 Feb 2018 #62

An AR-15 does not destroy the meat Lee-Lee Feb 2018 #67

Yeah an AR 15 destroys meat...I have seen it. Demsrule86 Feb 2018 #83

With what kind of rounds? Straw Man Feb 2018 #89
