After looking into what is required for an average person to machine the correct parts, he decided it was not, in fact, "easy".Rick Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10992428161064901136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-32715759076185656112020-04-18T11:13:39.272-06:002020-04-18T11:13:39.272-06:00Windy Wilson:

In this type of mition, the defendant is not permitted to dispute the facts, but only to argue that the facts do not support the complaint.<br /><br />In this case some of the claims were dismissed, and others were allowed to continue.Hal Dustonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03579515713751458192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-88219566655931246382020-04-18T07:59:11.685-06:002020-04-18T07:59:11.685-06:00Not summary judgment, just refusing to issue a dis...Not summary judgment, just refusing to issue a dismissal of the case.Clayton Cramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258083387204776812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-38137593508390124872020-04-17T23:40:15.588-06:002020-04-17T23:40:15.588-06:00This was a denial of a motion for summary judgment...This was a denial of a motion for summary judgment by Colt? To have such counterfactual statements about the AR-15 and the M-16 as the findings of a court is just bizarre. The Motion for Summary Judgment comes after initial discovery, including Interrogatories (Questions to the other party, usually answered in Lawyer-speak by the lawyers, Document Requests, and Requests for admission. A Motion for Summary Judgment is a big motion, with a pleading of the argument, referencing a statement of contested and uncontested facts. This set of facts deemed to be true is unbelievable. We had a phrase for the source of numbers that had no basis in fact, "PIDOMA" (Pulled It Directly Out Of My A--). The Judge must have gotten these facts from the same place, and I cannot imagine the Defendant accepting this. or having not countered such statements in its own motion in opposition.

The entire trigger group was redesigned with a semi-automatic only sear. Trigger groups with fully automatic sears are tightly regulated and considered to be machine guns in and of themselves. In the case of the M-14 they would be correct since all military M-14s were equipped with the fully automatic trigger group with only a lockout plug preventing fully automatic fire. The device to do the conversion was the small, t-shaped replacement for the blocking device that could be substituted in a few minutes. The DOJ definition includes the terms of art “shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot”. Thus the little gizmo for the M-14 is a machine gun and the military version of the M-14 is also a machine gun and not salable to the general public. The AR-15, on the other hand, requires the manufacture of a complete trigger group and does not meet the “readily” requirement.JLW IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058544501109588908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-45801977576899056142020-04-17T05:59:37.076-06:002020-04-17T05:59:37.076-06:00Three shot burst came with the M16A2, which was fi...Three shot burst came with the M16A2, which was fielded during the second term of Reagan: two decades after the gun first entered the military.James Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049975540976175810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-45782990494038401012020-04-17T05:56:45.088-06:002020-04-17T05:56:45.088-06:00I can hold the trigger on my revolver and fan the ...I can hold the trigger on my revolver and fan the hammer so therefore it is a machine gun.<br /><br />Since it is a Colt 1872 Navy reproduction I'm going to sue Colt. <br /><br />tkchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537122818841045663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-24991102709882821282020-04-17T04:19:26.549-06:002020-04-17T04:19:26.549-06:00The original Colt AR-15 now qualifies as a Curio a...The original Colt AR-15 now qualifies as a Curio and relic guns, also called C&R, are firearms that are at least 50 years old and/or have historic significance.

There are a number of differences between semi and full auto:<br /><br />- larger fire control pocket in the lower<br />- extra pin hole in the lower for the auto sear<br />- different disconnector<br />- different safety / fire select control<br />- different hammer profile<br />- different bolt carrier profile<br /><br />Additionally, the M16 has NEVER used a bump stock to achieve full-auto. No, the parts to convert to full-auto are NOT readily available, and there are SEVERE penalties if you are caught with them (even just the parts).Wayne Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07652553584958469329noreply@blogger.com
