well I for one hope like hell they dont......... that is what got us in the shitty place we are in now....people trying to be cleaver and work in and around loopholes in the law
I mean really how long do you think it will/would be before the powers that be decide that it looks like and behaves like what they have tried to get rid of so out the door it should go too and will no dought drag another whole bunch of combinations with it....... we should thank our lucky stars no one has yet twigged that the 10/22 is based on something else........that was used by a bunch of folk to replace the .45 handguns they used before that...... shhhhhhhh head down arse up.
start dressing a 10/22up with AR stocks and piccaninny rails for africa with a doodad here and a lazer there,maybe a thermal whatsamacallit over there for good measure and pretty soon it will draw attention to itself....
