So instead of the anti-gunners showing their intellectual gun asses everytime they try to codify in law what an “AW” is, the ATF would just come out with a points system. Then states and other legal entities could just titrate down the point total. So you pass an “AWB” with enough points so that it only outlaws machine guns and SBRs. And require registration of all the guns a few points below the ban level, Then the next legislative cycle, you just wratchet it down a couple of points. Slowly boil the frog and you can tailor the point level to the local to keep things moving.
Brilliant plan.
The problem is that Bruen kind of blows that out of the water. So is the ATF going to go through all this work, for a system that won’t get to the end point they want. AND if they make the claim that all these AK/AR pistols are really SBRs, they will definately trip SCOTUS’s “common use” standard and now you’ve got a chip out of the NFA.
?
Yep. All of this.
