Assault Weapons Ban Primer Question
Publicola emails that he thinks my primer on the assault weapons ban may have a factual error. He thinks that grenade launchers (i.e., a device that throws grenades) is not actually regulated by any gun law. This is largely a moot point with respect to the assault weapons ban as, even though launchers may not be, grenades themselves have been regulated as destructive devices since 1934. And I do recall seeing flare launchers for sale at gun shows that could launch grenades. Does anyone know if launchers themselves are regulated or if it’s just the grenades?
