I was wondering to myself about the AWB, and the uselessness thereof.
I found myself wondering if the typical CT shooter would be willing to make the following trade: get rid of the AWB, but require a permit to own a semi-auto firearm. The permit could be an expansion of the current pistol permit, or it could be separate but similar. Classroom requirements would have to be modified to suit.
Assume that you would only have to get one permit so the bureaucracy would be about the same as it is for having a pistol permit now.
I can see that some, especially those with pistol permits, would welcome the ability to order up anything semi-auto without respect to features, but others would be very hostile to any permit requirement for a rifle.
But I don't have a feeling for which line of thinking would be more popular. Any opinions?
By the way, yes, I understand you don't want any state regulation at all, RKBA and all that. Understood. I'm taking incremental change and practical politics.
