[QUOTE="tulsamal, post: 2023308, member: 571"] I can see how the Left would like this idea but IMO it couldn't be done acting under the authority of the 1934 NFA. Those restrictions are all based on actual functional differences. The things that are taxed (and therefore registered) are defined. It's the same problem the Left ran into back in 94 when they tried to explain how there was a functional difference between an AK and an M1 Carbine. Or a Remington 742. They eventually just made a list of "evil features" and then said anything with too many of those was an assault weapon. By definition. But ATF can't just start enforcing the 1934 NFA to include "something else." At the very least, there would have to be legislation passed to add onto it. And, once again, how are they going to separate "sporting semi-autos" from the scary black ones? Really... the only legal way to do it that makes any sense is to just add all semi-autos. Avoid the whole cosmetic problem. The fun thing (from our point of view) is that FINALLY a bunch of fence sitting hunter types would be forced to wake up. If their beloved semi-auto deer rifle or semi-auto shotgun is included with the evil stuff, maybe we gain a few million more supporters. Gregg [/QUOTE]
