Talk:Ruger 10/22

historical innaccuracy

Sorry, the 10/22 was never banned BY NAME by the Assault weapon ban of Bill Clinton. The 10/22 could be bought and sold and manufactured after the ban, however ANY 10/22 made after September 13, 1994 could NOT have a folding stock and pistol grip (some FFLs were targeted (Set up actually) by the ATF to be arrested when they were given 10/22s that were post ban (even though they were visually identical to the pre ban guns) that were outfitted with pistol grips and folding stocks, just because the serial numbers of the 10/22s came after the Sept 13th, 1994 cut off date. But the 10/22 was commonly sold and possessed in the straight stock version all throughout the ten year Ban. MPM2008

Were the FFLs eventually cleared or did Clinton go full gulag on them and ensure they were convicted and imprisoned?

Have you EVER heard of the ATF saying "Oh we were wrong, sorry, you can go now?" the FFLs lost their licenses and if they managed to avoid prison time, they had to spend tens of thousands of their own dollars in legal fees to do it. Another gift from Bill Clinton... mpm
