Question.
In my Colt handbook for my new LE6920, there is an interesting line on page three.

It reads "The firearms in this manual are classified as "semiautomatic assault weapons" under the 1994 crime bill in the U.S.A. They are restricted to law enforcement/government use only. Be sure to comply with federal and local regulations governing their possession and use. These firearms are not for sale to the general public."

Can someone clarify this, I was under the assumption that this was repealed in 04.

The book does show the date to be Rev D Sept 03, do I have a new gun with an old book, a old gun that has just sat in a box for 10 years?

What gives?
