Will the device on Connor Betts' weapon, called a "pistol brace," become the next bump stock in nation's gun control debate? Here's what we know about the AR-15 style .223 caliber firearm used in the Dayton shooting Sunday: It was legally purchased by Betts' from an online retailer in Texas. It then was transferred to him by a local firearms dealer who would be required to perform a background check, police said. Nothing on Betts' criminal record would have prevented him from buying a gun. He used legal-to-own 100-round drum magazines. The lower receiver, which houses the trigger, was made by Anderson Manufacturing in Hebron, Kentucky. Under federal law, the lower receiver is the gun. Purchasing a lower receiver requires a background check. All other parts of guns, such as barrels and stocks, can be bought legally off the shelf or online. Betts could have had as many as 250 rounds in his possession; he fired at least 41 rounds in about 30 seconds. https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/crim...

I was struck with the same thought about Beto, even more so recently it seems. I don't see what the attraction is. Back on topic, from what I can tell the Dayton shooter bought an AR-15 pistol and added this stabilizer: https://www.kakindustry.com/shockwave The theory is it won't be held to the shoulder. Except for this feature it would be classified as an SBR, a short barrel rifle, that has to be registered under the NFA. Without the stabilizer there is just the buffer tube sticking out.

Don't know if you're familiar with the AR - it breaks down into upper and lower assemblies, that's how Betts hid it in his backpack.

It's hard to say Ron. What is the Constitutional support for Universal Background Checks?

Hard to say Steve, is the Constitution the law of the land to protect the people of The United States of America? "universal background checks" are a legal requirement that any gun sale - any at all - require the buyer to undergo a background check. Now, federal law mandates that anyone who sells guns for a living (such a person would have a Federal Firearms License) has to perform a background check to sell anyone a gun. Thus, any transfer of title (as it were) of a firearm from one person to another must involve a background check.. Continue reading at: https://aliengearholsters.com/blog/univers...

The AK series of rifles are designed for Soviet/Russian, not U.S. military needs.
...For your folk back in Moscow.....after ww2 As...philosophy, the Kalashnikov designed..maintained..operated by untrained conscripts... In contrast...U.S. military uses M16 series....and places a much higher emphasis on training, marksmanship, ..Very few of our NATO allies use the AK series thus USA would not have ammunition or parts commonality with them. The AR-15 started by the Fairchild Aircraft Corporation in 1957...used in Vietnam Conflict 63-67
..Remember "to stop communist domino"... 2019 Communist Socialist Vietnam is unified and USA Ally *******************************************************************************
..as always deacon of WHAT? your writing is devoid of englishGrammar and Educated thought....Misconceptions...
AR and AK are NOT, and haven't been for 55 YEARS military!
..they can be used, AS I Might, to defend one's property-self against trump$ette crazyMinds... AND they can be used for the Boy Scouts of American Merit badge in Rifle Shooting.....
.Most of my boys got their Rifle Shooting; Boy Scouts of American Merit badge before highSchool graduation ...IS'NT America a great nation of gun shooting sportsmen/women/trans?
