Machine guns can have <16" barrels without a second SBR stamp... but SBRs cannot be machine guns. Basically Machinegun trumps being anything else.

I suppose SBRs, SBSs, and AOWs will be allowed to be Assault Weapons, by default... but Assault Weapons will not be allowed to be to be any of those.

Simpler: Any semiauto centerfire rifle or brace-equipped-pistol capable of accepting detachable mags JoeStuckInOH Oct 2017 #4

Does this mean AR and AK pistols without braces would not be AWs? aikoaiko Oct 2017 #8

I suppose. Can't win 'em all. nt JoeStuckInOH Oct 2017 #9

So a SBR can have a bump stock? Always Right Oct 2017 #14

LOL, I don't think bump stocks are going to be around much longer. JoeStuckInOH Oct 2017 #15

Over inclusive and under inclusive at the same time Always Right Oct 2017 #20

My definition (or post content) suggests banning nothing. It's just a definition. JoeStuckInOH Oct 2017 #21

Your definition of AW is too broad and at the same time over inclusive Always Right Oct 2017 #10

There's no point in reinventing the wheel in an effort to get around this Kaleva Oct 2017 #13

Pressure, in answer to your statement: yagotme Oct 2017 #16

Thanks for the info! Kaleva Oct 2017 #17

Welcome! n/t yagotme Oct 2017 #29

I would like to read your thoughts on how to avoid being an AW. Kaleva Oct 2017 #18

Not sure anyone can define semi-auto AW Always Right Oct 2017 #19

That maxim 50 is dumb as hell JoeStuckInOH Oct 2017 #25

You said in an earlier post that it was easy to get around what I proposed Kaleva Oct 2017 #26

I have a few basic questions discntnt_irny_srcsm Oct 2017 #27

Some answers Kaleva Oct 2017 #28

And replies discntnt_irny_srcsm Oct 2017 #30

Most every term in relation to guns is well understood except for assault weapons Kaleva Oct 2017 #31

Have you considered why that term is misunderstood and ill-defined? discntnt_irny_srcsm Oct 2017 #33

Semi-automatics have been around for decades. Kaleva Oct 2017 #34

Can you conceive of the color red? discntnt_irny_srcsm Oct 2017 #35

Your arguing in circles isn't going to be effective on me. Kaleva Oct 2017 #36

re: "Wouldn't it make sense to adapt a definition that addresses your main complaint... discntnt_irny_srcsm Oct 2017 #37

The term assault weapon is going to stay around. It's not going away. Kaleva Oct 2017 #38

I can really appreciate having a well defined term discntnt_irny_srcsm Oct 2017 #39

My proposed definition isn't going to be adopted by anyone Kaleva Oct 2017 #40

For some, it would be any weapon not The Mouth Oct 2017 #32

What is the point of another artificial definition? ManiacJoe Nov 2017 #41

The term "assault weapon" is in very common use. Kaleva Nov 2017 #42

And whatever made-up definition used back then ManiacJoe Nov 2017 #46

Any semi-automatic firearm with a removable magazine. Simple, short, easy. flamin lib Nov 2017 #43

"Simple, short, easy." And impossible. But by all means try for your 'Prohibition 3.0' friendly_iconoclast Nov 2017 #44
