So, you can have a shotgun with a pistol grip but not a thumb hole stock? These people are idiots. Someone should take them to court and have them explain to a judge the dangers of each item they banned. The grenade launcher is the only dangerous item I see, and when was the last time someone was killed with a grenade launcher?

Maybe they should make cars safer by banning hood scoops, tail fins, spoilers, dual exhausts and paint jobs with flames...

(d) a revolving cylinder shotgun;

So does that ban the Judge and whatever Smiths 410 revolver is?

 

[Garand]

I also like the part about how you can still possess 10rd magazines, but its a misdemeanor if you put more than 7rds in it....

That is a pretty comprehensive list. I agree they should have to show why the features they list should be outlawed.

Typical liberal feel good BS. Does absolutely nothing to prevent a criminal from killing someone but does everything it possible can to label a gun owner as a criminal.

Well at least this helps me round out my shopping list tonight at Brownells.
