"Oh yes. Though the idea may to have been to get Americans to grudgingly comply with unconstitutional and unlawful dictates gets back to the nature of such legislation as a temporary nuisance."

Also, Economics 101. A demand WILL find a supply. Laws "banning" anything at all are more akin to trying to block a river with one rock placed in the center and calling it a "dam". The allegedly "banned" supply simply flows around, over, or underneath it.

It always amuses me when the Antis accuse manufacturers of "circumventing" the Ban by offering rifles of the same actions but without cosmetic features. LOL! They are simply complying with the law as written. If the Antis wanted them to consider the intent of the Ban instead of its actual text, they should have said so. However, then we could just bring up the intent of the Second, which the founders helpfully explained in their writings.

Long Cut, it's been a while since that last post of the M-16A4. I think you remember when I said the new XM-8 is a weird looking laser tag gun but the more I look at it, it does look cool and when it's finally ready for military service it will be a good replacement for the Colt M16A2. At first, I also disliked the design of the HK G36 and Steyr AUG because the latter is a bullpup and the G36 had a carrying handle that is way too long but the more I looked at them, the more I liked the design. I think you also remember by disdain for an M16 without the carrying handle. I still hate that but I can tolerate it.
