    I have zero consideration for my karma score. If I bother commenting it’s so others will read and possibly read into what I’m speaking of and further inform themselves.

        Just for reference, the latest assault weapons ban would have banned everything that is not a bolt action rifle pump action shotgun lever action rifle or a revolver from the early 1900s. And with the overlapping restrictions many of those would also be banned for capacity weight or other arbitrary addon definitions.

        For example a single action shotgun from 1880 would be classed as an illegal assault weapon as it has the capability to: “accept a detachable ammunition feeding device at some location outside of the pistol grip.” It does not matter that it is a single action. Shotgun the fact that there are devices specifically invented to assist with reloading makes it an assault weapon as the law is written.
