At SHOW Show this January, I covered the JR-15 from WEE1 Tactical and thought it was pretty dang awesome. Anti-gun politicians, however, are not so thrilled about the idea of a youth-sized firearm that looks like a scary black gun. In fact, Nanci Pelosi and others mentioned the JR-15 by name as an example of why this new assault weapons ban (AWB) is so dang necessary. BUT…
On Page 16 of the new law, in subsection (D) of the list of exemptions to the AWB, this .22 LR firearm is specifically exempted because it can only fire rimfire ammunition (the bold was added by me to highlight the relevant parts of this section):
1) It shall be unlawful for a person to import, sell, manufacture, transfer, or possess, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, a semiautomatic assault weapon.
