I still don't see where one could not purchase an AR15. Just limited to <12 round mags.
It is a moot point? Whereas you "could" buy one, but there are no gun stores in DC and you can't import them, so you "can't" by one?
Or, since you need a license, and the CLEO does not sign off, so you can't get a license, and the result is... no firearm. One of those scams?
I'm still confused.
