If the dems submit and pass the last GC Bill (2018) - While not specifically named - M-14's have enough of the characteristics (detachable mag more than 10 rounds - threaded barrel - barrel shroud) to end up being banned too.
Text - H.R.5087 - 115th Congress (2017-2018): Assault Weapons Ban of 2018
This would apply to NEW MANUFACTURE.
The bigger concern - rule changes on personal to person sales, which were typically dictated at the state level (CO/CA/etc.). And also reg changes with BATFE - the scariest of which, would be requiring FLL's to submit all their 4473's on file, as well as all subsequent 4473's - which would amount to FEDERAL REGISTRATION - since they would have a list of everything anyone has purchased that a 4473/BG check was run on.
If the 2 GA seats are stolen also (almost sure to happen any way you slice it - even with additional scrutiny on the process) - the left will move as QUICKLY AS THEY CAN to implement their wish list. There is much they can do, that has already been done in prior legislation and rule changes at ATF - to make M-14 gunners lives miserable.
Buyback confiscations - not likely. Red Flag laws - very likely. Potentially making everything on the list already owned a Class III registration - has been discussed.
While any of these WE CONSIDER A 2A INFRINGEMENT - the courts have let them through in the past - no reason to believe they will not in the future.
I'm currently having a "Joe Biden Is Not My President" gun sale. Despite the fact that everything I plan on KEEPING - IS NAMED SPECIFICALLY on the 2018 list...
Been awhile since I've been on here - came on to list some of my M-14's.
Best wishes to all...
