You are right. I am not positive, but I think the guy was using a 100 round mag. That might of actually saved lives. Everyone knows those are notorious for jamming and it did just that. I was unaware that the ban mostly outlawed those items. Those are mostly aesthetic and comfort items. Weird.

Thanks for the info, and I edited my post. I am a member of other forums where such things are okay. I should of read the rules for this forum. I will do so now.

Edit: It is the first rule.

New here, so please forgive me if this has been addressed someplace before (I searched). I am only 22 years old, so the "assault" weapons ban was a little before my time. I know that guns purchased before the ban were legal, but were you still allowed to purchase parts for them? Was is similar to the way class 3 firearms are handled today? With all this new talk of bans, I don't want to be out of luck if something does happen. Thanks.
