Gun control laws have consequences

It also has a large affect on the military. The vast majority of the little things, and new gear which have been issued to line soldiers over the past 10 years has come from the civilian market and development through civilian application. That development and improvement of basic equipment which enhances a soldiers ability to do his job will slow down to a crawl to nonexistant if an "assault weapons" ban goes into effect.

Yep. We only had the steel junk boxes when I was overseas, the army wouldn't let us order the PMAG's. There was plenty of companies that gave discounts to us guys overseas though, so getting 8 PMAGS for maybe 50 bucks was easy to come by and worth the investment. Glad the army gave them a NSN so units can order them. PMAGs were intended to be for civilian usage, and are a huge improvement over those steel mags. Without that civilian development that innovation might not even be around, lord knows the military and the government wouldn't do R&D on something of that nature, and if they did the price tag would be astronomical. Take a look at the FCS program, junked and billions spent on it. It will be the same thing in the terms of basic gear for us if all these bans take place.

How so? His point was that things that were developed for civilian use were adapted to military use.... how do you get "all citizens should be issued rpg launchers" from that?
 
Anyway.... what I was getting at in my original post is that due to laws like this, companies like Magpul will take their shop somewhere else, and that will have a serious economic impact on a given area. In the case of NY, film and TV producers will find alternative places to film their movies and TV shows and that will impact the economy of that area. As more and more people who disagree with these types of laws and restictions move to states where they feel more welcome, won't that have the effect of polarizing us even more as a nation? I don't agree with a whole lot of people here on this board, but I'm here, and I'm discussing the issues with ya'll, because no progress will be made for anybody, if we don't get together and discuss things.
 
Marvin, I want to have a productive conversation on the issue of the polarization of our nation, using the wide diference in beliefs with regards to gun ownership as an illustration. You're not helping....
