The weapon did not reach its current levels of popularity until the expiration of the nation’s federal assault weapons ban in 2004.

Correction called for:

The weapon did not reach its current levels of popularity until the ASCENDANCY OF BARACK OBAMA IN 2008.

The distressing part of mine is its current inability to place 55 grain blobs of lead at better than 5-10 MOA...

It didn’t make any guns illegal, either. It made the sale of them to civilians illegal, but guns in private hands remained there and were perfectly legal.

Are you sure Islam qualifies as religious?

It looks to be political by nature.

What kind of rifle did the guy who took him down use?
I believe I heard one of the spokesmen at today's press conference say that the civilian also used an AR-15 variant.

I am thinking along the lines of a gun control enthusiast.

Because he would be an easy take down with my 22 mag.

Still, what kind of crap is this narrative. Shouldn't we be celebrating the armed citizen who came to the rescue?

Oh, you mean do this horrid heinous act to spur creation of more gun control laws.

I don’t think he was that smart.

He apparently was targeting his former in-laws...............

That is true. I bought my first AR pattern rifle during the “ban”. Had to make due without the bayonet lug.

Even funnier, you can get scary black plastic stocks for Rugers.

In CA, those may turn your Mini-14 into an Assualt Rifle.

And you might not even have to install it, just be in possession of both.

I was Walmart shortly after they stopped selling AR style rifles.

Did they have any of that special black paint that increases muzzle velocities 25%?

Reminds me of the old “Planet of The Apes” movies with Charlton Heston.
