re: #95 Unshaken Defiance

Because of legislative issues.

California is effectively banning AR rifles. And each and every model of handgun not submitted for a laughably expensive and excessive “safety test” regime lately. The 2nd A has not caused a single California gun law to be overturned ever.

The 2nd is a scapegoat.

Technically, but not really “effectively.” You can still buy “featureless” ARs and AR receivers here and nothing prevents people from buying the parts needed to convert them into a banned configuration. Most popular work arounds are stocks that technically eliminate the pistol grip and that replace the so-called “patriot pin” that replaces the takedown pin with a push button and assembly that drops the magazine when the upper receiver is pivoted upwards just a hair.

The only “effective” solution would be to ban semi automatic firearms entirely.
