Back when it looked like the US government planned to ban all semi-auto rifles, RUGER came up with a plan to convert their rifles to either pump or lever actions.
Suppose some enterprising company made a rifle using an AR-15 frame but with a pump action by removing the gas operating system.
That would send the politicians into a real tizzy since a pump action can shoot almost as fast as a semi-auto!
The irony being that the rationale for banning sawed-off shotguns was because they weren’t wet a militia would require.
You left out '... with rules and regulations)'
I’m willing to bet that none of them ever occurred. They are so rare that it is literally like one of the last items on the crime statistics list of ways to get murdered.
I had to look up that shooting at the Burlington Mall - 5 dead, but done with a “hunting style” rifle. By a 20-year old that had a restraining order and was not supposed to have a gun.
Meanwhile, the Washington lawmakers were not able to come up with fair rules on the use of illegal drugs, so by default, there are no laws at the time regarding the use of heroin, fentynal or other hard drugs.
Hmm - I suppose all of the laws and rules covering legal pot are still in place so as not to upset the tax revenue stream.
