Sig Sauer MCX was the exact weapon.The AR15 has become the symbol of the evil black rifle.
I wouldn't be opposed to no fly-no buy
Hello; It is my feeling that any ban on "Assualt weapons" will have some issues. First being that the term will be streched to cover a great range of types. I refer back to my example of the Ruger 10-22. The 10-22 is a 22 rimfire caliber rifle and was lumped into the ban that went into law in Australia. As you have pointed out there is not a clear distinction among many people as to the specific machine. The AR has been mistakenly named when it was not in use. Any such ban may likely become a blanket ban on any semi-auto loader.
The bigger issue may be that such a ban will use an already flawed no-fly list system. An example of such problems is that senator Ted Kennedy was reported to be on such a list in the past. These lists are also reported to be compiled in secret and not in an open way. My take being that many find out they are on such a list only when they attempt to fly. Some reports have people being banned from flying for the simple reason of having the same name as someone else.
