Amen jones! Let's see here. The "assault"rifles were classified by among other things as having a pistol grip stock and a bayonet. When was the last time anybody heard of crime being committed with a fixed bayonet? And if you replace that short pistol grip stock with a thumbhole sniper stock it is no longer considered dangerous to society! With amazingly stupid mentalities like these, any weaponcould be next on the ignorants agenda to ban. We cannot give an inch or we will lose a mile. Just look at Canada and England.
