It allows the credit to also be paid for a "conversion kit," which is defined in the statute as "any part or combination of parts designed and intended for use in converting a firearm into a semiautomatic assault weapon, and any combination of parts from which a semiautomatic assault weapon can be assembled if the parts are in the possession or under the control of a person."<br /><br />This means that, under the definition in the statute, adding any one of the following to a semi-automatic makes it an assault weapon" pistol grip, a folding or telescoping stock, a forward grip, or a barrel shroud. <br /><br />So buying and turning in a new stock for a Ruger 10/22 that costs $120 at Bass Pro will get you the credit.<br />Divemedichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14583007051962299381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-35865283969745540222013-01-23T18:02:52.888-05:002013-01-23T18:02:52.888-05:00I like how it includes Street Sweepers.

If it gets on the books, then they have a working definition in a federal law.<br /><br />If they actually know what they're doing, then this is a one- or two-year payment to gun people to go along with the bill in order to get an "assault weapon" definition in place so that they can use that definition later on in the pursuit of an assault weapons ban. If that ban happens, then everything on that list gets outlawed.<br /><br />I have no idea if she's actually being that smart, but that's the part of the whole thing that worries me.hooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14495757268429973393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-28529270925043309392013-01-22T18:09:36.512-05:002013-01-22T18:09:36.512-05:00Steve,
