Uh Patrick.
"pre ban bullshit" is not bullshit. Its real. Its based in law that was actually written down, had a comment period and was voted on by our legislature. And it passed.
IT IS LAW.
The Pre-Maura stuff is the garbage.
That means that unless you have a pre-94 lower, putting a telescoping stock, threaded bbl, flash hider, etc on your rifle does expose you to REAL legal risk.
People have been prosecuted for this stuff. For real.
I am not a "pants shitter" to quote Dr. Grant. I exercise my rights fully within the law. (unlike all those people who lock up their handguns for transport. Show me the law!!)
But the AWB is real.
