now i also feel semi automatic rifles even if they look "assualt rifle like" shouldnt be banned either, but thats a completely different arguement based on my opinion.
That is the entire issue with the new AWB that is supposedly going to be pushed by Obama. The new one has the possibility of banning M1 Garands, I mean really? The people coming up with these legislation have no clue what it is they are trying to get passed.
Banning weapons based on the cosmetic factor and because it "looks" like an assault rifle is a pretty lame reason.
Check this video out, makes me laugh every time:
"What is a barrel shroud?"

It is hard to say if the revised AWB will get passed. Some think everyone learned the lesson with the previous one but I am not so certain.
One thing is for sure and that is Obama has been this years biggest gun salesman. Some of more popular names in the industry are back ordered on AR-15s for months due to the demand.
Here is a sample message from the DPMS website:
"Regrettably, DPMS is no longer able to offer a definitive delivery time on any rifle, part or accessory listed on our website. All orders are being processed chronologically as supply permits. All products should be considered as -Out of Stock- when ordering, DPMS will deliver items as they become available. We thank you for your understanding and patience."
I personally will be stocking up on high capacity mags.
Ah yeah and I might have thrown this in here somewhere before but I will do it again. Anyone here who realizes how ridiculous the original "assault weapon" ban was and does not want to see it again throw your name on this

"This is NOT the cosmetic bill from the Clinton era and does NOT include
a sunset expiration, this one DOES ban many more guns, not just
features, going so far as to ban WWII era rifles such as the M1 Garand
and semi-automatic shotguns. Do your homework, learn about the details and contact your representative, act locally, raise awareness."
Every little bit helps and they can only take from us what we let them take from us.
