Present law ( since 1968) says that

"persons who have been convicted for violent crimes, or who have been diagnosed "nuts"." ARE FORBIDDEN to own guns.

" Automatic weapons belong in the hands of the above professionals, and nobody else." LAW since 1934- the exception requires a special license and permit, costing several thousands of dollars.


There have been NO ASSAULT rifles sold LEGALLY in the US ( without above special permit and investigation) since 1934.


The term "Assault rifle" has a specific meaning- selectable semi and full automatic fire, etc The civilian SKS and AK-15 versions ARE NOT ASSAULT RIFLES, in spite of the lies by those wishing to limit their sales. The reasons a hunter or target shooter would want a dependable, lightweight SEMI-automatic rifle are the same ones that the military used for the design- performance.

And it seems to have slipped some peoples minds that it is ILLEGAL TO KILL PEOPLE unless you are a policeman or want to get rid of an inconvenient fetus.
