I really don't like things being called a BAN unless it IS A FLAT OUT BAN. We don't need 'the boy who cried wolf' out there. This time KABA is off the mark.

And I never said I liked the study. For the record, I will take that in exchange for the ban on gun lawsuits. Same with the trigger locks(unless the CPSC clause is there - that's a dealbreaker). Those are PITA's. The lawsuits can break the business.

And an ammo ban(Kennedy's), gun show ban through red tape or otherwise, or AW ban will be a dealbreaker for me.

I'm glad you will draw the line somewhere.

What do you think the purpose of the study is? They plan to use the results for something.

Making all rifle ammunition illegal can break the business just as easily as making rifles illegal.

This is a "kinder, gentler" approach to the goal. Rather than put a ten thousand dollar per bullet tax on ammunition sales (I forget which idiot legislator proposed that abortion a few years ago), this one simply quietly redefines the ground out from under the entire rifle market.

Sure, the guns will be legal. But, try to find ammunition for them...

I guess the .223 rifles can be converted to take .22 rimfire, for only a few hundred dollars per rifle, but the big question is why bother?
