even though the "bushmaster" rifle was on the regulated list., MSP allowed Bushmaster HBARS to be sold as cash n carry.
i expect this is still the case.
Unfortunately, no, and we asked more than once.

I bet it was a new hire that didn't know better
MSP appears to be taking the position that ANY semiautomatic rifle or handgun manufactured by Bushmaster is banned as either an Assault Long Gun or Assault Pistol.
It makes no sense, and is wrong. The lists are of specific/specified firearms, and models were produced with those names. It may take a court case or other challenge to fix it.
Here is the rifle:

By that same logic, only Colt HBAR Sporters are legal (no other brand). I've yet to see a letter from
MSP on the matter. The "Bushmaster Semi-Auto Rifle" is not an AR15, nor made by Bushmaster.

Not going to name drop, but the persons I spoke with have both worked there for quite some time, anyway, given the current policy on HBARs, I'm not rocking the boat over a single exclusion.
I would, but the only FFL close to me is notorious for being a ***** and knows less about the law than most NON-FFL holders.
The Bushmaster Rifle was manufactured by Gwinn firearms, and then Bushmaster Firearms as the "Bushmaster Assault Rifle". It is nothing like an AR15. The MSP is not making any sense on this one.
I dunno what dumbass can't tell one of those from the other.

The problem isn't just HBARs, it's whether you can buy the M17S or ACR. I'd love to hear the logical contortion that would result in three completely different rifles being the same "model" of a particular gun.Not going to name drop, but the persons I spoke with have both worked there for quite some time, anyway, given the current policy on HBARs, I'm not rocking the boat over a single exclusion.
I don't know if the AG's office has weighed in. This would be a particularly good question to get them on the record with, especially if written in the form of "Does the Bushmaster rifle on the assault long guns list refer to the Gwinn Firearms Bushmaster rifle?"AGs office and MSP it seems.
