[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 732506, member: 10291"] Here in the armpit of America, Massachusetts, along with a few other crap states, the ban was never lifted. While the context of the ban is truly ridiculous, it's not that big a deal, and sales in this state have been alive and well for many years. Basically, you can easily buy an AR but it won't have a bayonet mount, flash supressor, and +10 round mag. There are some other details as well, but overall, people buy and shoot them in large numbers. Unless you are planning a siege, you can take full advantage for sporting, and competitive use.In order for a manufacturer to sell in the state they have to have a Mass approved version. Since most manufacturers have these versions, they should adapt easily assuming they just reinstate the Clinton Ban. Most people don't understand the details of the ban even in Mass where yesterday every gunshop in the state was packed, with people buying up all available stock. Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way condoning this useless, politically driven Ban. Also, I think it will be a lot more difficult to reinstate. The situation today with these rifles is a lot different then back in the 90's. There are millions of them that are in circulation being used for sporting and competitive purposes. Reinstating the Ban, if done, will be driven by politics, not rational thinking. IMHO. [/QUOTE]
