I own 7 guns, including a mini-14 that would have been effected by this amendment, but what makes its ammo "centerfire"?

If ya don't know, you should probably sell the hardware. Two types of primers. Rimfire, as in a .22, which is struck by a firing pin on the edge of the cartridge case; and cannot be reloaded. Or a centerfire primer which is struck by a firing pin in the center of the cartridge case. Hence the expression "rimfire or centerfire."

Thanks for the info, but I'm not selling. I thought Kennedy was singling out some special ammo for this amendment. In fact, he was singling out virtually all ammo.
