It’s called banning semiautomatic rifles. [/quote]

This is just never going to happen, no matter how much you stomp your feet. [/quote]

We did it before, and we can do it again.  [/quote]

When was that?[/quote]

1995-2004[/quote]

Pretty sure semi auto rifles, including AR15's, we're still sold publicly during that time[/quote]

Only what was grandfathered.  [/quote]

This is what the AWB prohibited:

Semi-automatic rifles able to accept detachable magazines and two or more of the following:
Folding or telescoping stock
Pistol grip
Bayonet mount
Flash suppressor, or threaded barrel designed to accommodate one
Grenade launcher

So sell a rifle with a [b]fixed stock[/b] (fixed meaning not adjustable, 1 position only) and pistol grip (like the original design), and you're good to go.

This = ok to sell

Its pretty dumb because an adjustable stock lets shooters of different heights use the same rifle. I.e. a father and son.  Otherwise just buy a different size stock!

Now high capacity magazines that were allready out there were grandfathered and could be re-sold, that is true, but rifles were just designed without those above features.
