The thing about the AWB, is it criminalized Semi-auto rifles that were copies of full auto military rifles.

It never was legal to own an M-16, in full auto mode.

The AWB came because of the massacre of the asian schoolkids in Californias central valley.

That was the excuse the libs needed, & They waved those dead kids ( in a rhetorical sense ) & no politician could
stand against.

Fact is, ANY semi-auto action can be made into full auto by a competent machinist.

you can buy a M-1 garand, semi-auto & will take a bayonet

it's a better weapon at long distances, but it doesn't look like a scary " assault rifle "

Thanks for the info! I have gotten an education today from Jwalsh07 and now you.

Would bet if the 2nd amendment folks explained things like the two of you, you would get more converts. No in your face but facts that can be understood!
