Proposed Executive Order Designating Certain Rifles for ‘Militia Purposes’
Very interesting. President Trump is carvings out AR-15s and 30 round mags as legal in all states.
“(a) The AR-15 and similar semi-automatic rifles, to include flash suppressors and bayonet lugs, magazines of up to thirty round capacities, M-7 bayonets, and ammunition in 5.56 NATO or .223 Remington, in all quantities.”
Also M1A and Garanad rifles and bolt actions in US military calibers. I think the m1a is an error since it is a single companies trademark and it should list m14 type semiautomatic weapons.
Weird little details that I don’t know why they are in there, Listing m-7 bayonet but not m9 or an okc3s? Only .223 AR-15s? So my Grendels or .300 BLK wont be protected. Does this include AR-15 Pistols? There is a clause about “made in america” which I find funny since FN Herstal in Belgium is one of our largest military suppliers of M4A1 rifles (the current ar15 equivalent in our military).
He should go a step further and list a few handguns like the Beretta 92/m9, Sig 230, and the venerable 1911.
Still this is massively awesome. States will fight it. There will be law suits. Props to President Trump if he goes forward with it.
