The last time we had an AWB, AR uppers were considered a gun part and it was only the lowers and the high cap mags that received the bulk of the scrutiny. After reading the revised AWB proposal, it appears that the ability to purchase an upper may be in jeopardy. The new bill introduces a restriction on barrel shrouds (how that make a firearm more dangerous is beyond me). The hand guards on our AR's could easily be construed as barrel shrouds because the do serve that purpose. The other problem with the new AWB is that this time there is no sunset provision. If it passes, it will literally take an act of congress to repeal it. I don't know about any of you, but I don't trust any of those ya-whos on the hill. They have recently given us plenty of reason not to.
Hope I didn't get too political.
From one Minnesotan to another... I agree with you 100% on the ya-whos on the hill!! From what I've seen thus far they should be thrown off it!! Off the STEEP side at that!! And the new administration isn't even in there yet!!! :evil: Scary are the times ahead for everyone with "black rifle disease".
My hopes are that our new "president elect" (just saying that makes me throw up a little bit) and his band of roaming misfits will concentrate on more pressing issues. You know... Just the little things like the economy. Or maybe the two wars were in... Heck... Maybe even homeland terrorism...
But if/when they flounder with those, you can bet they'll need to pass some stupid "feel good" law just to pump themselves back up. Enter the new and improved AWB!! :evil: So if this AWB is one of the first issues on thier plate, it should spur nation wide public OUTRAGE!!! How dare they even consider attacking our Constitution and law abiding citizens when they are faced with so much more!!!
Wow... Better get off my soap box and grab my AR and a bible... Geeezzzz Am I bitter, or what? :shock:
