Wayne, you are far too intelligent to be using that as the basis for your opinion. Perhaps you should take a neutral stance until you know more. From experience, I can say that a flash reducer really doesn't hide anything, it redirects it. In my case, (using a borrowed preban) it came in handy to prevent a fire (firing prone over dead grass...directed the blast away from the ground). A bayonet/bipod lug really does not affect me or folks I know too much, but if I wanted to do some long range shooting without sandbags, it might come in handy to mount a bipod. A threaded barrel aids in changing between flash reducers and muzzle brakes, and is a convenience factor more than anythig. Adjustable stocks make it so that tall folks and short folks can share the same rifles by adjusting the length of the stock to fit the individual. Not one of the above features is "evil". Having them on rifles will have no negative effect. The reason that the ban is so hated, is that it is a completely unreasonable infringement. The ban serves no purpose at all.
