I spoke with Mark at Accurate Guns and Ammo last week when I ordered the GSG-5 Anniversary Edition. I was saying how goofy it seemed that these .22 rifles were bunched in the same catagory as the .223 and 5.56 assault rifles? Mark did say apparently the Maryland Attorney General is looking at this. Hopefully change may be in the wind??? Only time will tell.
But right now I agree the paperwork I saw reads that any assault looking rifle is considered a regulated weapon in their eyes right now. There is certainly no getting around that the way it's written. And there ain't no GRAY AREA when it comes to guns period. .22's or anything else.
Yeah, I saw the letter as well, I still thought it was horse shit. If it was a "copy of" then wouldn't it have more than just cosmetics in common?
