I guess we'll have to see. Business-wise, it wouldn't make sense to halt production, say in the case of Bushmaster because it would be tantamount to just closing. AR platforms are the major portion of their business.

As for Colt, and their AR platforms, they make and sell quite a lot for the military and LE. It is still possible to buy their LE versions in semi-auto, I think. The point is that any weapon they can't sell to civilians could be stocked over for LEO or military sales with a change or two.

I can't say anything for the importers of the WASRs, etc. They could be cut off in a hurry, but would later adapt with cut of bayo lugs, more American parts, funky stocks or the like = just like last time.

In the end, they'll try a magazine size limit and a guillotining of a symbolic “Assault Rifle” My guess it'll be the one that was used in the school shootings, and they will shout the victory to the heavens and proclaim that school massacres are vanquished.

School shootings are far from over. There will be another one. No I’m not planning it, nor have any direct knowledge of such a plot. What I do have is an appreciation for the situation. There are firearms in America, lots of them - roughly 300 million. There is nothing that will change that short of the second coming. There is evil and insanity in America. Again, nothing you, me, or any other mortal does will change that. No school system can afford to completely secure their facilities. Besides, such a fortified bunker would be detrimental to the mission of education. Given these three inescapable facts there will be more shootings. What really {expletives} me off is that almost no one is talking about doing anything even remotely effective towards stopping that or reducing the risk. Instead there is an all too familiar effort afoot to subvert the very principles this country was founded upon. All to advance their unamerican political agenda. The cold hard truth is, if you can’t prevent these kinds of events, then the best you can do is end them quickly. That means firearms in our schools, in the hands of trusted and trained individuals. No more gun free zones - they aren’t. Stop denying people three means to protect themselves.
