What is an "assault rifle," he asked sarcastically.

73. You are still factually wrong about the 1994 banned AR lowers

You misread that the first section C

That section reads:

(1) It shall be unlawful for a person to manufacture,
transfer, or possess a semiautomatic assault weapon.
(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to the possession or transfer
of any semiautomatic assault weapon otherwise lawfully possessed
under Federal law on the date of the enactment of this subsection.
(3) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to--
(A)
(B)
(C) any semiautomatic rifle that cannot accept a detachable
magazine that holds more than 5 rounds of ammunition;

It's saying that the law does not apply to semi-auto rifles that don't accept detachable magazines and that is not the same as saying it bans semi-auto rifles that do.


What it does ban (concerning semi-auto rifles) is this:
(B) a semiautomatic rifle that has an ability to accept a
detachable magazine and has at least 2 of--
`(i) a folding or telescoping stock;
`(ii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath
the action of the weapon;
`(iii) a bayonet mount;
`(iv) a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to
accommodate a flash suppressor; and
`(v) a grenade launcher;

There is no mention of lowers.

If you can't accept the black letter of the law, I'll stop arguing because there is no way to resolve this conversation.
