Very iffy indeed. Clames Jan 2013 #18

Looks like replacement and repair parts would be banned as well. SayWut Jan 2013 #15

They're scary-looking. Lizzie Poppet Jan 2013 #16

Hopefully we can stop this atrocity in it's tracks. ileus Jan 2013 #6

Can't wait to see who defends this bill as anything other than a farce of banning cosmetic features. Clames Jan 2013 #7

But the Remington 1100 Tactical isn't. AtheistCrusader Jan 2013 #9

Look at this bone to Garand owners krispos42 Jan 2013 #10

They also explicitly exempt the Garand and Carbine (and SKS) in Appdx A. jmg257 Jan 2013 #12

As a Garand owner I fully expect to be treated more equally than others. Clames Jan 2013 #17

The Astute Observer(TM) will note that the "exempt" list includes LEVER- AND BOLT-ACTION RIFLES! slackmaster Jan 2013 #31

Some very powerful semi-autos are also exempted. Clames Jan 2013 #32

The bill is plainly a weak attempt to create a rift among gun owners, but we won't be fooled by it. slackmaster Jan 2013 #34

Charles Daly Tactical is also exempted... Clames Jan 2013 #35
