Those owners aren’t necessarily interested in automatic weapons and assault rifles, which could possibly be banned under the new administration.

Duhhh, those weapons have already been banned since 1934 (unless I missed a memo somewhere). Either this dealer isn't very bright, or the writer just interpolated a few sentences to make a point.

From my own personal experience in the last week, people are lining up to buy the stuff that will be banned first. They were doing a brisk business in shotguns and handguns, but the M4 clones were flying out of the racks.

If you want a rifle for defense, something like the M4 is eminently suitable as a "starter". I wanted something a bit more exotic, since my basic needs are already filled. Something like this will "dry up" even faster than the AR15s.

That’s what’s called a “bullpup” isn’t it?

VERY nice. I want one, but I can’t afford to get that and the other items on my list. The Keltec RFB is high on that list.

You missed a memo somewhere.

In 1934, a $200 "transfer tax", and registration were imposed on automatic weapons. In 1986, transfer of automatic weapons not already registered was prohibited.

You can still, for example, buy a M1928 Thompson Submachinegun. Got $17,000?

I hate bullpups. They're unwieldy and their triggers suck. I've tried the Steyr, Bushmaster and a few AK BP's. It's the trigger linkage which is the culprit.

They do have one BIG advantage: With the short OAL, you get a decent length barrel (20") which is critical for 5.56 lethality.
