If your state (or the federal) government cracks down on pistol grips, owning a pre-ban gun that sports a pistol-grip won't be grandfathered in. You can keep the gun and the parts, but you'd be expected to make the gun compliant. If they crack down on the sale of AR-15s in general, and you owned one pre-ban, your ownership of said rifle would be grandfathered in.

I would expect an end to the flood of AK type weapons being imported at fantastic prices. Importers will then start importing parts kits (complete guns with the receiver cut in half) and then assemble them using American made receivers (which people are already doing.) However, the guns using US made receivers are more expensive.

If the gun-banners had their way they would duplicate the RPK's gun ban. The california ban is actually really well written legislation. Air tight with no loopholes. They had their shit together on that ban. Clinton't vaunted Crime bill was a useless POC. The only good thing about it was that it had an expiration date.

they always go after imports first because they can circumvent law and use dept. procedure and contort existing import laws. If there is any kind of terrorist act on American soil, expect the Gestapo..I mean Homeland security to clamp down on anything not built in the country.
