this has been coming since the first AWB klinton passed expired.
i have an MSR (Modern Sporting Rifle) it looks very much like an M4 Carbine with an A2 buttstcok installed. it has a very similar gas operating system. it does NOT have full-auto capability or the ability to attach a grenade launcher.
IF another AWB is initiated, which i believe will be, i plan on removing the gas tube, permanently blocking the gas block and removing the gas key from the bolt.
i will then have a straight pull, bolt action, single shot, magazine fed rifle.
i suspect Feinstein, and company, will go for an all-out ban on all semi auto firearms...rimfire?...who knows yet...right now...we're ok on that one here in california but who know what the next legislative session will bring?
jerry brown will certainly sign any legislation presented to him and we know that the US Senate will pass any anti-gun legilsation they feel like
we'd better, dust off, clean up, get fresh ink or cartridges, new reams of paper, get ready to fire up, our fax machines, printers and email capabilities and gather a mailing lists, addresses and phone numbers for our "Representatives"... we're gonna have to bombard them with protests; we cannot compromise...
if you value your firearms rights as we now have, better be prepared to fight for them. the 2A does NOT specify what KIND of firearms we are allowed to "Keep and bear"...legislators are VERY AWARE of that.
i beleive many legislators are actually disappointed that the streets are NOT "Running red with the blood of good cops" as one sheriff said when it 'sunseted', so they could impose a permananent ban on"Assault" weapons. the fact is very ,very few so-called "Assault weapons" are used in gun-relate crimes. legislators conviently forget/ignore that.
