A group of House Democrats has asked President Joe Biden to take executive action on “concealable assault-style firearms,” citing two mass shootings in Atlanta and Boulder, Colorado, last month.
“Concealable assault-style firearms that fire rifle rounds pose an unreasonable threat to our communities and should be fully regulated under the National Firearms Act consistent with the intent and history of the law. The recent tragedy in Boulder, Colorado where 10 people including a police officer were killed is one in a string of deadly incidents involving this style of weapon,” Reps. Mike Thompson (D-Calif.), Joe Neguse (D-Colo.), Val Demings (D-Fla.), and Ed Perlmutter (D-Colo.) said in a letter to Biden.
They said that because alleged Boulder gunman Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa used a semi-automatic Ruger AR-556 pistol, which is a smaller variant of an AR-15-style rifle, either Congress or Biden should take action.

I don’t even know what that is.
That's the point. THEY want to tell you what it is.
Are they trying to make braces “illegal” again?
There’s plenty of ammo available; it’s just much more expensive. Here’s my “List” since 2002...

Not to mention an m-1 carbine round or a shotgun slug. At it did in my body armor class last century.
9mm 1000 rds for $799.99. This time last year it was $340.00 / 1000 rds.
That would be cool.
If you have a CPL, CCW or whatever your State calls it, have at it.
Liberals are frighten by cosmetics.
A 9mm round coming out of a semi auto Mac-10 does the same thing as a 9mm round coming out of a S&W M&P.......as I know you’re aware.
Guess you have a short memory - one of the obvious things he can do is announce that any pistol with an attached 'brace' is an illegal short-barrelled rifle (SBR). And ATF can announce that "once an illegal SBR, always an illegal SBR", and maybe also announce that any pistol that can be "easily converted" to an SBR will be treated as an illegal SBR (any of that language sound familiar?). So even AR pistols that have never been equipped with braces will suddenly become 'contraband', just like bump stocks. ATF never worries about reversing direction, if they think it's expedient - "Honey Badger", here we come...
I see no reason why a State can’t make it Illegal for ANY Federal Employee to Use, Own or possess any Firearm that is Illegal for the Common Citizen to own.
I can see them trying that approach - plus other things they attempted in the past, like reclassifying M855 'green tip' as armor piercing, etc., etc., etc. Obviously, they won't feel any need to be bound by facts, previous determinations, or even judicial opinions (now that the high court is running scared of the Dems packing threat)...
To be fair, sometimes the "pistol" designation is being used as a work-around for imported firearms that are blocked by the current "semi-auto rifle" import bans (going all the way back to Bush 41). Change the configuration a bit to remove the buttstock and shorten the barrel to, say, 14" - presto, it's importable as a "pistol". It's an option for manufacturers who don't (yet) have a manufacturing facility in the U.S.
Of course, the owner can have a longer flash hider pinned and welded to the muzzle to get to the 16" minimum, and add the requisite number of American-made components and a buttstock. Voila! It's a legal rifle (carbine).
So there is a legitimate reason for some of those firearms to be sold as pistols - thanks to our screwed-up government.
No bueno for KawLeeFawn-e-yaw...
OK, I got it.
More laws for criminals to ignore. Democrats, as we know, never solve any problem. They create more.
Academy has been getting some ammo in. Mainly Steel case stuff, but I did pick up a couple of Federal .308. Seems to be a delivery about once per week.
The 5.56 NATO does give up a lot of velocity out of the shortest of the “pistol” at the 7.5” it’s down right a fireball maker the concussion of the round going off makes the eyes water. At the 14.5” length its much more manageable and give up little to the 16” M4 length.
Where the short barrel ARs really shine is calibers that were designed to burn fast powders such as the 300AAC it reaches peak efficiency at 10” or 8” with a suppressor. The 6.5 grendal also is very usable at the 12.5” lenght carrying well over a 1000ftlbs and 1800fps past 300m that’s solid class 2 game power up top 500lbs. The 458 socom in a 10” will lauch a 350gr flat nose hard cast round with 2000+ ft lbs that will penetratw stem to stern on any feral hog imaginable I have seen this round in a 12.5” barrel exit a bison that was a cull having broken the shoulder going in and ribs going out that was a 1500lb bison. Short barrel AR have a place the 6.5 and 458 are both game killing machines , in a kight compact perfect truck gun sized package. They also make the best tree stand guns for anything under 300m in the 6.5 and in the brush at 150 and under the 458 is thors hammer with 350 , 450 or 500 gr 45 caliber hard cast.
Until they come up against the drug cartels and their gangs
I thought MAC-10s were .380 or .32 caliber?
‘Concealable Assault-Style Firearms’
Of course not.
I’m not sure......I thought I saw them for sale in 9mm.
You could be right though.
