The classic .22LR rifle with a long tube magazine is a standard feature in rural American households. Millions of farm boys started their shooting careers with a Marlin Model 60 or similar rifle that would take almost half a box of rimfire shells\u2026 but in Minnesota<\/a>, some lawmakers are considering rimfire tube mag restrictions that would see those rifles banned as \u201cassault weapons.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0Laws And Regulations @ TFB:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s all part of House File 3570, which is currently before the state\u2019s House Committee on Public Safety Finance and Policy. If you read the body of the legislation (see it here<\/a>), you\u2019ll first note a long list of rifles that are banned by name. Under this legislation, a wide range of firearms from the AR-15 to the TEC-9 to the SKS, and any firearms that are basically the same but under another name, would be banned from transfer. The government would also enact so-called \u201cbuy-back\u201d legislation to purchase \u201csemi-automatic military-style assault weapons.\u201d<\/p>\n

The U.S. has seen this sort of thing before, going back decades now. But\u2014read on to the paragraphs following the list of banned-by-name guns. Here, we see a list of functions and features that the lawmakers also want to ban. Again, nothing we haven\u2019t seen before, but this list goes beyond the usual claptrap. Here are some things they\u2019re considering as assault weapons:<\/p>\n
