I am looking at this from the economy stand point.

How many layoffs and how many manufactures would go out of business.

The bigger question is how many people will die.

It would actually depend on the law.



The EBR market grew under the old ban.

Does the obama administration and the congress seem to really give a shit about jobs, or more about getting people hooked on entitlement programs as if it were crack?

Good point, but how much money might there be in making  compliant uppers or grandfathered parts kits?  The market always finds a way.

As it stands now, Feinsteins 's bill has a grandfather clause.  I think even the dems realize confiscation is very unlikely.  They mostly want  a legislative  feather for their cap with as little tfouble as possible.  The behind the scenes bans like the NFA option do nothing to mollify the segment of the public  that i s screaming for a ban

Does anyone remember the thread about the number of ARs sold since 04? It was a hjge number.

This...they don't give a shit at all about the economic impact of any ban.

The AR-15 is currently the number-one-selling rifle in the US.

They care about jobs, and right now the worse the unemployment is the better for Obama. He has already been re-elected, now is the time to show how capitalism does not work, and how the government needs to save us all from it.  He only has 4 years to complete the fundamental transformation of America before another election, there is much to do.

I am all for disarming people, as long as you disarm the government and police too!

in all seriousness, lets say there was a near total ban (not going to happen but play along) would these companies be able to supply the authorities? I assume it would cost to much and there would be little profit, although I guess the goverment could just take over and do it themselves.....

This has as much to do with child safety as Obamacare had to do with health care.

Don't shoot the messenger. It is not like I am saying anything different than what most of Obama's cabinet has been saying.

Doesn't matter.



Govt will just print more $$$ and give more unemployment/EBT to more people.



Get rid of guns + more people on govt dole = WIN/WIN For Politicians.
