NO, NO, and NO. "If" another ban comes into effect, it won't be the same ban they had before with "military looking semi-auto assault weapons" being the target. One need only look to the proposed "AW Ban Renewal" that was introduced in committee while Bush was still in office. What was something like 28 weapons by name (and their copycats) was expanded into over 1,000!!! Firearms like the Marlin 60 tube-fed .22 semi-auto and Ruger 10/22s, Remington 740/7400/750 semi-auto hunting rifles, anything that is common place! It specifically named the whole firearm or receivers that could be made into such firearms. AND additionally added onto this (which will probably serve as the guide for anything the U.N. adopts) was a clause which banned "Any rifle or shotgun in common use with the military or police forces." Ssooo...Mossberg 500/590, Remington 870, departments in Texas still issue Winchester 94 lever-action rifles. Your choices are to buy legally now and comply when they pass this stuff or become a criminal when they pass this stuff. I can't find the text of this stuff now. Who knows how to get info off a crashed hard drive? Jon
