The 1930’s law DOES do it.

Semi auto rifles have been available since the early 1900’s

As for the high capacity magazines, their have been .22’s around for 50 years that held lots of rounds, nobody thought hi-cap magazines where “bad” until the AW ban was passed 10 years ago.

The “Special class” of firearms you are talking about just look scary, they are functionally NO different than the millions of sporting semi automatics that are out their, you know, the pretty ones with the fancy wood and scopes(and YES most of them take a detachable magazine, that could easily be modified for high capacity)

It could be succefully argued that they are LESS dangerous than other semi auto hunting rifles, due to the extremely powerful rounds and high quality optics on them. Most can hit a pie pan at well over 1000 yards with ease; most of your “assault rifles” are only accurate to 200 yards and that is with an experienced shooter

It is only a matter of time before Brady/VPC/MMM are calling them sniper rifles and call for their total ban

The twisted Brady ban, as I said earlier banned several rifles that could ONLY hold 10 rounds or less, one of which could only hold 8

And gun owners rebelled because of it in 1994, and our party is still paying the price for all that damned gun control

Remember when the AW Ban sunsetted back in September, all the doom and gloom predictions of blood running in the streets because of it, and all the terrible mass murders
That where going to happen,

NOTHING HAPPENED, except the prices on semi automatic rifles dropped.

It is hard for folks that don’t understand firearms to shift thru all the misinformation about guns that is floating around.
