Thread: AR15 pending rule changes?

If they had the choice I would put money on which one they would have chosen and how much more damage would have they done?

I have seen people I would consider a bit strange or unstable with a FAL, I've also met many criminals with a FAL, and I've done something about it. I don't need evidence that there are some unsavoury people with a FAL, I've seen and dealt with it myself.

The A-Cat should be perfect and stop the bad people getting a FAL but lets be realistic, it doesn't. For a start it is only once every 10 years without any requirement for inspections. People can change a lot in 10 years, join a gang, develop paranoid schizophrenia etc, at least with E-Cat they should be getting regular inspections and meetings with AO. Ideally the A requirements should be equal to the E IMHO.

Our laws aren't perfect but they are pretty good I think.

From Wiki:
The government was led to believe that Gray had shot all his victims with an AK-47 7.62x39mm assault rifle. It was subsequently proven that Gray used several firearms, none of which were an AK-47 assault rifle. Four of the Aramoana victims were proven to have been shot with a Norinco 84s .223 semiautomatic sporting rifle.

What's your point? The 84s pretty much is an AK47 but in .223. Looks the same and functions the same.

Well 4 out of 11 killed with a nasty semi auto assult style thingee, that leaves 7 killed with something else. A pistol x1? and a lever action 22lr x6? those pesky .22lr's again. Ban Ban Ban them I say!
But that wont happen, cause the ole 22lr is not fancied in the movies. But those evil black guns???
