If you have to ask why, then you won't understand the answer.

no he didn't, the ban sunsetted and bush said he would infact sign the new one were it to make it to his desk... Alot of poeple are fooling themselves into thinking bush is a friend.. Back to the matter at hand, I just wanted one.. There's alot of stuff I want just becasue I think it'd be cool to have. |

The more such marked firearms are out among us "unwashed masses", the harder it will be to do "LEO ONLY" firearms in the future.
Besides, I like anything I am told I shouldn't have. |

My Colt LE6920 is marked LEO/Govt only. But I chose the weapon, after lots of research, because of its reputaion for quality.
The markings are just gravy. I also think Colt might know there's a certain appeal to these markings, and keeps them on the rifle to help keep the price up, even though they know they're meaningless. |

Thank you. I'm glad renewal legislation didn't make it to Bush's desk or we'd still be in the same shape we were before Sep 2004. |

The reason that I ask is that I was thinking that I would be at the range with a LEO/US only rifle and have a LEO wander over and start asking me about it. The last that that I need is to have to explain to a LEO what is or is not legal. 'You got papers for that boy?' Know whatta I mean? I just don't want or need the attention.

Here's all the papers you need.
Pertinent portions: "Existing markings on firearms and magazines relating to law enforcement or government use may be disregarded." and "Law enforcement officers and police departments may now sell or transfer semiautomatic assault weapons to persons who are not prohibited from receiving firearms." You can always print this ATF factsheet and carry it with you. There is a certain hassle risk with one of these guns, and a couple other forum members described situations like you mentioned. If that's something you don't want to deal with, there are plenty of great ARs without the markings. I, for one, like the added "sense of danger". |

My Colt's are marked that way and I wish they weren't. I don't know why some people are facinated with these markings, but I suspect it has something to do with a sort of celebration after years of not being able to have them.

The man said we couldn't have them, now the tables have turned. I guess some people consider it a way to stick it to the man. Others want them because they are different from your average AR markings. Plus they tell the story of victory for firearms owners during uncertain times.
Our grandchildren may actually use them come the next Revolution...talk about sticking it to the man! |

Cause it really pisses off Kennedy/Feinstein/Schumer that I can own it now. They will never see my rifle, but its my constant "Up Yours Shitbags!" to all the anti's!
Besides, it looks cool...

Any rifle, especially a black rifle, pisses off the libs, so that's not much to go on there.
There will be some collector value on these rifles, for those who do silly stuff like that. The stamping, by itself, adds nothing to the rifle. |

I personally don't care for the markings, but to some it's a big "f#ck you" to the gov't which I think is pretty damn funny. Colt uses the markings because they don't give a rat's ass about non LEO / military and they can cleanse my left one. These markings NEVER had any place on these rifles / mags to begin with!!! If anything, this equipment should be made available to us BEFORE the powers that be. How else would we defend our rights and uphold our RESPONSIBILITY to keep our gov't in check? The idea is, (suppose to be) we put em there, we should be able to remove them.
Don't kid yourself, Bush has nothing to do with it and is little better than Klinton, but no point in arguing that...I voted for his ass afterall. The Civi use only ROCKS!!! I also agree that if you don't get it, you wouldn't understand the answer. Papers? Are you freaking kidding me? Come on man, MANY LEO don't know half the laws they are empowered to enforce and if they drag you in over it, they deserve whatever they have coming to them, though most would simply accept an apology or less and feel lucky if they even got their property returned to them. Screw that...

Face the facts, Bush had NOTHING to do with the ban ending, it ended because the Dems couldn't get it passed originally without the 10 year sunset clause and it sunsetted because the NRA, GOA and other organizations pushed hard on some pro gun, or at least non anti gun, senators to let it die. Not only did Bush have nothing to do with it but, as was pointed out to you, he said he would sign a renewel of the AWB if it came to his desk. If you want to somehow spin that into thinking that the only other answer was Kerry then go ahead, but it's about as intellectually dishonest as you can get. The Bush presidents have NOT been gun friendly, no they're not as bad as the Dems, but the answer isn't to just accept them as the lesser of two evils, but to vote someone in who IS pro gun, or force the Republicans into becoming pro gun if they want to get re-elected. It's about time that this "lesser of two evils" bullshit is shot down....before it goes any further. |

I agree...I won't whore out my vote any longer. "Wasted vote" or not, I'll go to the right-leaning middle if there is such an option next time around.

I was a poor college student way back in 1994 whan the ban went in to effect. I wanted an AR for as long as I can remember. I settled for a post ban Bushy during the Klinton reign. As soon as the ban lifted I bought a Colt 6920, mainly because I wanted a carbine and because it had all the "evil"features. The fact that it has restricted markings is a reminder that we must not take our new "freedom" for granted.

no, the answer is to never use a vote against anybody. I personally refuse which is why I voted for a 3rd party... Do you think they're too stupid to realize that people are just picking what they feel is the lesser of two evils? Just reinforces their beliefs that they can do whatever they want and at least half the country will still vote for them even if they disagree with their platform.. Just becasue they're not the other guys  EDIT: The only poeple you have to thank for the vote ending are voters a decade ago. Those who voted for it were shown how poeple felt about that in the next election... They didn't want to make that mistake again. So they didn't pass it, and didn't get it to Dubya who would have been more than happy to sign our rights away. The way he did it just was really his way of passing all responsibility of a decision off onto others. |

They don't, by themselves add anything but the one's with markings from Colt DO come with Chromed bore and chambers, flash hiders, bayo lugs, M-16 carriers, and correct buffers[don't know about the non LEO one's on that] which the civvie one's don't. So, I prefer the LEO one's. As far as hassles, take an AK, FAL or other semi to the range with a few unsure police officers, you will get as much or more interest. Most are just nosy and end up shooting it a bit, it's not like many of them actually shoot much other then their duty weapons unless they like guns on their off time.

Admittedly, Bush isn't perfect, but Kerry would have ACTIVELY lobbied for the AWB. Plus, under the Bush presidency (Ashcroft), the State Dept has made a statement that the 2nd Amendment explicitly refers to *individual* rights. A nice move, that may result in the Supreme Court looking at this issue. A ruling which might benefit all of us.... |

Yeah that pic is very bad, but it was taken with an older Sony Digital Video Camera, and poor light placement.
Oh well, I only had the camera for a few hours (borrowed from work) and I had to live with what I got. I would buy a digital camera for myself, but ammo.....camera............. Ammo wins! |
