Remington 700 an Assault Weapon?

PABuck_HNTR · 06-16-2004, 04:42 PM

With the reasoning of the Liberal Democrats being as it is. Could the remington 700 be considered an assault weapon in the next list of guns?

The Military uses the 700 action for alot of thier sniper rifles as do alot of police departments. Seeing this and the fact that some Liberals want military style weapons only to be available to law enforcement and the military could the 700 make the next list? That some would compromise for!

Absolutely, It just depends of which guns they THINK they can get by with making illegal next, This one now and tomorrow it will be somethong different, You know you never used to hear anything about a shotgun, now it is comimng to the front more everyday about being a dangerous weapon, wonder what it will be next, could very well be the model 700.

Shotguns are dangerous if you're standing in front of the muzzle
Nice try FFYG's but us liberals aren't biting on your 700Rem. assault weapon theory. BTW My 700's have assaulted many targets over the years. From paper to varmints, Oh the REDMIST from a 700 a sight to behold.
One of mine even sports a McMillan 40A1 sniper stock you need to report me to ASScroft I could be a possible terrorist suspect.

Yeah or worse, you should have been reported to reno, instead of a suspect you would have been a CRIMINAL.

Also what a clever play on the Attorney Generals name. Did you figure that out all by yourself?

Don't forget armor piercing assault rifle.

Not long ago some liberals proposed a bill to ban any ammunition that can defeat body armor worn by Police officers- one of the cartridges at the top of the list was the .30-30.

And well all know that criminals would much rather prefer a three-foot-long lever action rifle over an easily concealable semi-auto handgun any day.

There is absolutely NO limit to what the gun grabbers will TRY to define as an assault weapon. If there is any slight link or military connection somebody will present a bill to outlaw it.

Actually if you look at the California Assault Weapons Idenification Guide by the CA Attorney General.

Category 1 Second Paragraph reads:

Except as otherwise noted, firearms described in this publication have been physically identified as assault weapons by their markings.Those markings generaly,but not always,include both the name and trademark of the manufacturer and the model name or number of the firearm. Each description include identification markings and an indication or where those markings, if any are found on the firearm.

Later on on page 26 in firearm identification.

There is a picture of a Berreta AR 70

In the comments box it reads.

May be marked Mod70S or Mod 70 sport. However, only the mark AR70 is essential to identify this as an assault weapon.

MY QUESTION IS...... IS THIS TO VAGUE? COULD THE OFFICER SEEING A WINCHESTER MODEL 70 MAKE THE MISTAKE OR USE THIS AS A TOOL TO TAKE AWAY THE MODEL 70? AT LEAST LONG ENOUGH TO FIND HIS MISTAKE, THEN MAYBE THE RIFLE WOULD BE RETURNED IN A MONTH OR SO.

ISN'T THIS HOW MISTAKES CAN HAPPEN?
