Which one of those listed other than the grenade launcher (which is not available to civilians that I am aware of) make the weapon more deadly, or impact the functionality of said rifle?
If the manufacturer wants to put unnecessary accoutrements on their products and consumers like it, it’s not any business of yours. And it’s absolutely no business of law makers.
They do. The point, however, is that gun manufacturers should be free to make guns look anyway they (and consumers) want them to look without interference from government to make them appear as the lawmakers want them to look. The so-called “assault weapon” laws are nothing more than a pathetic attempt to placate people like you who are intimidated by the sight of guns that look a certain way.
One wonders how you would feel if your state limited the cosmetic design of cars that could be sold in your state. They would probably end up looking like Hugos.
No “well except for” about it. States that prohibit possession of any gun based on such nonsense are in violation of the Constitution. Any law that requires government approval in order to avail oneself of any Constitutionally protected Right (i.e., not just 2nd Amendment Rights) is blatantly unconstitutional.
