In reply to the discussion: Colt Offers Two New California-Legal Carbines [View all]Glaug-Eldare
(1,089 posts)22. How can you possibly call any CA-legal gun an "assault weapon?"
Even if the nebulous "assault weapons" were used in more than a handful of crimes nationwide (which they are not), CA-legal rifles would be completely unfit for that purpose. The mutilation CA puts them through makes them unfit for almost any purpose whatsoever, besides loud paperweights.

With all the problems in the world, who needs such a rifle? And, who really cares it's available?

Computers aren't guns. Do you consider strutting down the street with a gun a "hobby?"

Some people in California appear to need it, otherwise Colt wouldn't be marketing it.

That's twice you've called firearms that aren't assault rifles "assault rifles".

A firearm is either classified as an AW under California law, or not an AW.
