    AWB2 and Upgrade Sequence

    Hey guys,

    First off - I really appreciate this community. Lots of good info, little to no trashtalk, and very free with the information.

    My 6721 is on layaway through the holidays, I expect to pick it up mid January or so.

    I've been looking at things I want to upgrade and so far I've decided on Grip. Stock, Rail and Optics.
    I also read up on some info on the first AWB and am concerned about being able to purchase these upgrades in the eventuality of an AWB2. I know most of this is speculation, but my question is:

    Will I be able to purchase peripherals such as pistol grips, collapsible stocks and Law Enforcement/Military Only Optics if such a ban is passed?

    Sub Question: Should I let these concerns drive the sequence of my purchases in relation to non-AWB related upgrades (eg Rails)?

    Any and all info welcome.
    Thanks again.

    If you're that worried about a potential ban, I'd be worrying about getting a decent supply of quality mags and ammo to go with the rifle and not be worrying about a new stock, rail or grip at this point. No one knows what a possible future ban will consist of but it is going to be very doubtful it will ban accessories for your "assault rifle" you already have.

    Buy mags and lowers, assuming it is similar to the last ban but that is an unknown at this point.

    Don't worry about a future ban. None of us know what it will look like but rest assured it will be more restrictive then the first. Buy what you want in the configuration that you want.

    Totally agree with your statement. Qaulity Mags & Ammo should be the first priority.

    It won't make any difference, the next AWB will not have a grandfather clause, so you will not be able to keep what you have currently.

    There's a competition to see who will have the most stuff to turn in. That's the only sense I can make of it.

    I'm sorry but you have no way of knowing whether it will or will not, more importantly to omit a grandfather clause would make it not only impossible to pass, but also completely unconstitutional. There exists not structure or precedent to accomplish what you're saying.

    Even if it did, constitutionally you can't seize private property without "due process" and "just compensation". More importantly you can't make a legal product, retroactively illegal. The cost alone is more than enough to put the kybosh on omitting a grandfather clause.

    There may be a ban, but they cannot make it retroactive even if they wanted to.

    LOL......"due process"??....good one. Apparently most of us missed it, but ever since the Patriot Act was instituted, there is no such thing as due process, if they arrest you under this act.

    If the government decides you're a "domestic terrorist".....maybe b/c you own an EBR or too much ammo.....they can pull you in under the Patriot Act, seize your property, and imprison you indefinitely without counsel, trial, or any access to media to plead your case.

    And the best part? B/c you will likely never have a trial, no one can ever rule that the Act is un-Constitutional in the first place.

    Look, I'm all for surveillance of potential non-citizen terrorists, but to suspend the Bill of Rights for citizens is another thing entirely.

    Sorry for the rant. This is scenario is unlikely (but not impossible).

    The funny thing in all of this chicken little stupidity is that a Ban is NOT ONE BIT more likely with Obama Jenkins than it would have been with the old man.
