Join the #1 community for gun owners of the Southwest
We believe the 2nd Amendment is best defended through grass-roots organization, education, and advocacy centered around individual gun owners. It is our mission to encourage, organize, and support these efforts throughout Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico.
The article asks if cleaning and lubricating your firearm is a "modification?" My opinion is that the cleaning and lubrication of the firearm you filled with gunshot residue earlier this afternoon is not a "modification." To take the ignorance of this proposed law to its ridiculous extreme, would it be a "modification" to remove any dirt and grit that came from the ground while you were at the range today? Some AR-15 owners will take earthtone spray paints and paint their rifle to camouflage it. Is that a verboten modification?
The article states that a customer can enter a Big 5 sporting goods store, and buy a semi-automatic rifle that will fire a greater number of bullets per second than can a combat weapon used by the US military. If there was ever an example of a fool with too much mouth and too little information, this would be it. It's like saying you can go down to your local Chevrolet dealership and buy a four-door passenger car that will blow an Indianapolis 500 machine into the weeds which begs the question, "Why do so many blithering idiots enter politics?"
