Something funny happened on the way to tyranny

[C-dub]

Every weapon of military utility designed within the past 100+ years was gone. This isn’t a society stocking up on certain guns because they fear they may be banned. This is a society preparing for war.

Interesting view point. I hadn't thought of it that way.

I hope the author isn't right, but I will not be caught unprepared. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

folding stocks, pistol grips, pump shotguns and rifles
semi-autos etc

Increases the penalty for the possession, use, or sale of assault weapons and large capacity ammunition feeding devices and certain other weapons and redefines "assault weapon".

22. "ASSAULT WEAPON" MEANS ANY:

(A) SEMI-AUTOMATIC OR PUMP-ACTION RIFLE THAT HAS THE CAPACITY TO
ACCEPT A DETACHABLE MAGAZINE AND HAS ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING:

(IV) A SHROUD ATTACHED TO THE BARREL, OR THAT PARTIALLY OR COMPLETELY
ENCIRCLES THE BARREL, ALLOWING THE BEARER TO HOLD THE FIREARM WITH THE
NON-TRIGGER HAND WITHOUT BEING BURNED,

==================================

Seriously??????

They want to mandate that gun owners have self-injury burns if they defend their/their families' lives?


Seriously ????

Doesn't the stock on every rifle serve as a heat shield?

So a ruger 10/22 would qualify as an assault rifle under this definition.
