2015 Assault weapons ban of 2015.....ITS BACK!

Don't all rifles have threaded barrels?

No they do not, as a matter of fact, there are barrels of all things, belonging to the dreaded and scary, AR-15, that are not threaded on either end.

One example here:

What holds it a snap ring?

[JimmyHoffa]

some use a collet, sometimes screwed sometimes spring tension.  Unscrew/pull back--drop in barrel--screw tight/release.

[DaveMonti]

It's simple.  Pavlov says everyone should now go out and buy every firearm, round of ammo, and component of each that exists.  I do believe there is something to #2 above in Dan-o's post.  A lot of something at that.

Someone help me out here.  How did sawed off shotguns get banned but assault rifles are still legal?  I can't figure out how that ever got passed?

At 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'.

Am quite sure you are aware, but in case you are being serious, AR barrels are not threaded into the upper receiver, like, say a Winchester or Remington.

Receiver on an AR is threaded and the barrel is secured with a barrel nut, no threads on the back of the barrel present or required to mount it. 

And in a few cases, there are no threads on the front either for flash hider, suppressor, etc., as the one pictured.

I've never owned one so how would I know. 

[Blacktail Sniper]

That is why I said, if you are being serious, then tried to explain.

Have added pictures that hopefully show what I was saying.

You should get one, they are fun to put together and more fun to shoot, Merry Christmas!!

If the AR platform is banned, then does that mean law enforcement, doesn't get them either... Because we all know once they are banned. No one will have them. So no need for the LEO to have them either right......

There would still be grandfathered rifles, but from that bill text--retired LEOs could still get new versions if they left the service in good standing.  Military wasn't exempt, but police were.
