Gas Operated Semi Automatic Firearm Exclusion Act
Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons critically analyzes the 'Gas Operated Semi Automatic Firearm Exclusion Act,' introduced by Senators King and Heinrich. He argues the bill's technical definitions are deceptive, aiming to ban not just AR-style firearms but effectively all semi-automatic firearms by encompassing long-stroke pistons, short-stroke pistons, direct impingement, recoil-operated, and blowback-operated systems. McCollum, drawing on his expertise in firearm mechanics, highlights the bill's flawed and overly broad technical scope.
