Or cut up an 8 round clip to modify it for single round feeding. The Garand still passes the 1 feature test, the M1 Carbine does not in any of its variants.

Though don't pull a Clint Eastwood and tell kids to get off your lawn with one. Or empty chairs either.

What precise wording would you propose for background checks? JDPriestly Apr 2013 #10
I'm guessing it is written by the same gejohnston Apr 2013 #8

Ok, you've alerted the police... Bay Boy Apr 2013 #53
The police watch for that firearm. If they stop someone who has it JDPriestly Apr 2013 #82
lending isn't the problem gejohnston Apr 2013 #88
And this new law puts some of the responsibility for knowing JDPriestly Apr 2013 #94

I once built a bridge ... holdencaufield Apr 2013 #83
Really? LiberalFighter Apr 2013 #14
