    Mr. McCain did vote for the original AWB and I see no reason why he wouldn't do it again.

    No, he did not! Pay attention!

    Assault Weapons

    John McCain opposes restrictions on so-called "assault rifles" and voted consistently against such bans. Most recently he opposed an amendment to extend a ban on 19 specific firearms, and others with similar characteristics.

    Importation of High Capacity Magazines

    John McCain opposes bans on the importation of certain types of ammunition magazines and has voted against such limitations.

    No, he did not. Unfortunately, in their zeal to promote less electable but more conservative candidates like Thompson, Huckabee, etc., some Republicans have become so anti-McCain that they've twisted his record to make it sound like he's against everything we stand for.

    McCain has been more "pro gun" than either Bush President, and would certainly be far more pro than Obama or Hillary. But since he isn't 100% perfectly in line with the most extremist people on the issue, there are those who will not vote for him purely out of spite.

    Get real. I don't like Hillary but don't try and fill this thread with political crap.
    The same way you can ban the importation of a Glock 28 while allowing the importation and sales of the Glock 26, 27 and 33!!

    Banning a piston upper is no different than banning the importation of a .380 because of some arbitrary scoring system that some pencil-head came up with.

    You're not thinking like an anti-gun liberal. It doesn't matter how unquantifiable the reason for banning an item, they will find a way to ban it. Why are magazine-fed firearms illegal in Kalifornia? Do you remember the AWB? How can you ban something for having a bayonet lug?

    If you notice I said "If I Recall Correctly". I was pretty sure that I remember seeing that, but I may have gotten it mixed up.

    How did a HK416/417 civilian sales announcement thread turn into a McCain & AWB thread?

    Let's try to get this one back on track. We already have several elections/AWB threads.

    I was thinking the same thing, I was reading about HK and fast forward to the last page and it had nothing to do with HK. Im not saying you guys dont have a valid discussion, but you could have created your own thread to do so.

    Anyone have any updated information?

    Thanks

    Any idea when. I may set my Sig 556 cash to the side and wait.

    What is everyone so excited about?

    Did I completely miss something? All the article stated was that HK will be producing a civillian 416/417 in Germany. It says nothing about whacking US authorities over the head with the mallet of justice thus allowing them to export their rifles to the US...
