Kevin, those two reference pix of a pistol and rifle are perfect. Which one is an “assault” weapon? Snigger…
Ah, finally some sanity. Looking at the wording of the Curbelo-Moulton bill, I didn’t see that it actually would have banned the use of a slide fire stock anyway. The slide fire stock does not allow one to actually increase the theoretical maximum rate of fire, since that is really limited to the guts of the firearm doing their business up to a maximum rate. It may have made the practical rate faster for some people, but it could also result in jamming which slows down the overall rate. Had the old boy in Vegas used a lever action carbine with goodies to keep the barrel cool, he likely could’ve had at least the kill total he already had, if not more with nearly 150 year old technology.
