    Not sure. Works for me. Go to thehill.com and search for David Kopel. Its the first article. "What if there were serious gun controls?"



    That worked. Must be an issue with Tapatalk.

    But, but, if the big hammer doesn't work, you just need a bigger hammer, right?

    And if a little bit of money didn't help, try using more and more.

    Its the American Way, purchase the results you want - you don't have to work on it, just buy it.

    No need for a spoiler alert, the thread title gave it away. Kopel would no more advocate for stricter gun control than an MDS'er would.

    Assault rifles are one type of automatic firearm, but there are many other types of automatics. All of them should be controlled just as strictly as assault rifles. A violation of the stringent laws on these guns should be a felony with up to 10 years imprisonment—and much longer in cases of multiple violations.
    The above is just the minimum baseline for federal laws. States should be allowed to enact must more restrictive additional laws.
    If you think that this legal system would make firearms the most-regulated common consumer product in the United States, you would be correct. Every one of the above restrictions is already federal law, and has been for decades. A few of these date back to the 1980s or 1990s. Most of them are from the Gun Control Act of 1968. The tax and registration laws on automatics are from the National Firearms Act of 1934.

    Per the article. The problem today, now is the AR-15 style rifle that is under attack where the progressive left desires the same registration etc as the ATF fully automatic rifles. No mention of the AR-10 or gas piston rifles still sold In this state. The issue still exists in HB or Heavy Barreled AR's.
