So clearly just describing how ONE political party in ONE country used the word is inadequate. 2604:3D09:D78:1000:377E:61DF:3EAC:2898 ( talk) 15:08, 19 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Good point. But as a starting point, this is an article about a fluid American political term, not a type of firearm. North8000 ( talk) 15:12, 19 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Is there any reason the scope of the article can't include analogous legislation in other countries? VQuakr ( talk) 16:12, 19 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Keeping in mind that "this is an article about a fluid American political term, not a type of firearm." The issue is "analogous in what way?" North8000 ( talk) 18:32, 19 March 2024 (UTC) reply

In the way that the term and concept is also used in Canadian firearms legislation/politics. [1]. VQuakr ( talk) 18:51, 19 March 2024 (UTC) reply
