Despite appearances, sporter clones of AR-15s and AK-47s are NOT assault weapons at all. They are single-shot and lack a flash suppressor, bayonet lug, selector switch for fire control, and have 10 rd mags instead of 20-30 rd. No way that type of rifle is fit for combat. And to top it off, 95% of gun violence in America is caused by handguns which already faced a similar ban on certain makes and models as well as a reduction from 15 rd mags down to 10 rd mags. It didn't make any difference at all. The only thing positive is mandatory gun locks with sales. That's a smart decision, but the rest is nonsense. No one is ever gonna put a dent in gun sales in the US or stop their use unless the Federal Govt. uses the ATF or DHS to illegally confiscate civilian arms. In that scenario, the illegal bad guys retain theirs while law-abiding and free citizens lose their constitutional right to bear arms. And THAT is Un-American to the extreme. We are a nation of gun owners and have the right to defend ourselves and families.
