Well I was looking at the "new " AWB draft that the Dems sent to comitee on 2/13/2007 ( yep less than two months in power, raise taxes, new AWB, and cut and run)
anyhow that bill HR.1022 is way more restrictive than the old one. Before they had five things any three defined an assault rifle, now any one item is an assault rifle. They seem to be going after pistol grip stocks this time though, and they even include thumbhole stocks on a Semi Auto rifle with a detachable mag.
My question is this if this should get into law, (I no longer rule out anything) could one remove the gas tube and plug the gas block, and turn an AR into a bolt action repieting rifle? I know i saw somthing like that but I can not find it and do not remember what the name was but it looked like an AR except  it had a small bolt handle and was operated like a bolt action. would that work? and is it a viable option other than storing the semi's for a decade till this new abommination sunsets  If we get stuck with the new one (GOD FORBID)

As it stands now, 1022 (which has no chance of passing) wouldn't prevent you from using weapons you already legally own.

So, there's no need to go removing your gas tubes just yet.
