 BG> Yeah, so I heard last night. I'm speechless.

  They're banning pump-action shotguns (which is what I meant by
non-auto shotguns), but not repeating rifles like a 303 or sporting
rifles. Where did you hear that?

 RS> It doesnt affect those at all. Its not too clear what happens
 RS> about the military rifle stuff tho. Some even includes the
 RS> modern military stuff like Steyrs too.

 BG> Those are self-loading too, and are therefore illegal now as
 BG> well.

  This ban only applies to civilians, not the Army! ROFL!

  I don't know any military rifles that aren't t self-loading. Do you? 
The ban does not include 303s and old Mausers, or that lovely drop-block
Cadet rifle of 1896.... or the smooth-bore Brown Bess of 1760.

Regards,
Bob
