That Pesky Assault Rifle Ban

[Travis_0004]

19. I like my AR-15 because it is lightweight, accurate, and reliable.

I participate in shooting competions (yes, shooting can be a sport). If I showed up with a bolt action rifle, I would get my butt kicked because there are better guns available.

If an assult weapon ban was enacted, I could convert mine to be legal in less than an hour.

I have 3 'evil' features.

1.Pistol Grip
2.Bayonet Lug
3. Collapsible stock.

I could keep the pistol grip, shave the bayonet lug's ear (despite not owning a bayonet, or even knowing how to attach one to my rifle, and pin my butt stock in place.

Sure I could comply, but how does this make anyone safer? Have you heard of a crazy man running around with a bayonet in the news recently? Even if somebody did, are we also going to ban swords? I like my collapsible stock, I let other people shoot my gun. They are not the same height as me. Its nice they can adjust the stock to suit their size.

The Assault weapons ban is nothing but a feel good law that does nothing to decrease crime. Even though hi cap mags were banned, they could be bought (legally, pre ban) for 75.00 or less. Its a bit more than the 10.00 you can buy a used mag for today, but do you think 75.00 will stop somebody who knows they will end up dead or in jail after a mass shooting?
