This is VERY important because you are suffering from the same confusion that is purposefully perpetuated and what needs to be dispelled:
The AWB is NOT about military weapons.
Military weapons are FULLY AUTOMATIC.
The AWB is about weapons that LOOK like military weapons.
You CANNOT get a grenade launcher...AWB or no AWB...period (they are regulated under the 1934 act as distructive devices.)
I keep coming back to these points because until we have the same basis of understanding what the law means, what it does and doesn't do, it makes it impossible to discuss it.
