What assault weapons ban am I tiptoeing around, pray tell? I don't own
any "assault weapons." I do have a few semi-auto rifles. None of the
firearms I own are banned in my state.

I have three ranges I can shoot my rifles at, all within about 20-30
miles or so of here, and one of them is an indoor range.

None of the rifles I have are modified in any way that would make them
illegal. Adding an ambi safety, a red dot sight, or modifying a gas block
does not make the rifles fire automatically.

According to the government assault rifles only have to look nasty.
Nothing about select fire.

Yeah Harry is just being dishonest.

SB0623 Maryland Assault Weapons Ban of 2013

"Designating specified firearms as assault weapons; prohibiting with
specified exceptions a person from transporting an assault weapon into
the State or possessing, selling, offering to sell, transferring,
purchasing, or receiving an assault weapon; requiring the Handgun
Roster Board to compile and maintain a roster of prohibited assault
weapons; etc.

In the text of the bill there are dozens of references to "copycat"
guns. It is clear what they wanted to ban. They just do not have a
clue what it is.

If they decide to add his Bushmaster knock off to the roster, I wonder
if he will turn it in to the police or simply take it over to Virginia
and sell it in a parking lot.

That's funny because it once again demonstrates your ability to Google
and inability to understand what you find.

The ancestry, as it were, of my AR is Colt out of ArmaLite, not Colt out
of Bushmaster. Bushmasters are the knock-off rifles. Colt bought the
designs directly from ArmaLite. I'm not sure, but I believe the sale of
new Bushmaster AR-15 style rifles is verboten in Maryland. It and many
other brands are considered the copycats. I haven't Googled that,
because it just isn't important to me.

Anyone, even you, if you lived here, could buy an AR-15 lower in
Maryland through an FFL and finish it off into a rifle with a 16" HBAR
and have yourself a new AR-15. The .308 battle rifles, by the way,
aren't on the forbidden list, and neither are the .300 Blackouts.

Simply a testament as to how stupid Maryland lawmakers are.
Why even pass an ineffective law like that?

Gee, Greg, I simply don't know. If I were you, I'd be more concerned
about the fact that your current governor is a crook whose company had
to pay the largest fine for fraud in the history of the United States
and who pled the Fifth Amendment what, 75 times?

In terms of understanding Maryland gun laws, I'm not as anal as you are,
I suppose. When I got interested in getting an AR, I checked with my
favorite LGS, and was told I could legally buy a certain Colt AR. I
called one of the friendly state troopers at the barracks that handles
firearms paperwork, and was told the same thing. That was good enough
for me. When I opened up the rifle box at the LGS, I noticed that Colt
had tucked in a 10-round mag from Magpul instead of the usual 20 or 30
round mag.
