re: #260 Gus

Just wondering. People are calling for an assaults weapons ban in response to Newtown which involved a Bushmaster .223 which wouldn’t fall under an assault weapons ban thus I find it kind of, illogical.

Well, in terms of the Assault Weapons Ban, the term “assault weapon” basically came to mean “scary gun,” as in anything that was black and looked the least bit “military” in appearance. In which case, I’m sure whatever new AWB is written will limit the number of Bushmasters in circulation, or at least will try to. But there were ways around the old AWB and I’m sure there will be ways around the new one. The NRA will demand them.
