Free: Contests & Raffles.
I have two competing theories about this, and I'm not sure which one I believe more:1. The libs know that a winning tactic is to keep putting stuff up for votes. Some of it passes, and even the stuff that doesn't pass makes an impact by slowly chewing away at the foundation of the 2nd amendment.2. The firearms manufacturing association plants these pieces of legislation to keep gun sales going...... You know Obama has sold more AR-15's than about everyone else combined......

I can't figure out how that ever got passed?Sent from my HTC6525LVW using TapatalkAt the time of the NFA of 1934, it focused on sawed off shotguns (shot barreled) and sub-machineguns (tommy guns). The news media of the time was trying to freak everyone out about gangsters and bank robbers during prohibition/great depression. All the semi-autos stayed legal. Actual assault rifles didn't come about until halfway through WWII. The assault weapons were regulated in 1986. But the look a likes were next on the list and are now being called 'assault rifles'.
