Oh for heaven's sake!!

"After the Cleveland School massacre, the TEC-9 was on California's list of banned weapons. To circumvent this, Intratec rebranded a variant of the TEC-9 as the TEC-DC9 from 1990 to 1994 (DC standing for "Designed for California"). The most noticeable external difference between the TEC-9 and the later TEC-DC9 is that rings to hold the sling were moved from the side of the gun with the cocking handle, to a removable stamped metal clip in the back of the gun. The TEC-9 and TEC-DC9 are otherwise identical."

"The TEC-9 and, eventually, TEC-DC9 variants were listed among the 19 firearms banned by name in the USA by the now expired 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban (AWB).[4] This ban caused the cessation of their manufacture, and forced Intratec to introduce a newer model called the AB-10, ... it accepted the high capacity magazines of the pre-ban models."

"The weapon was the subject of controversy following its use in the 101 California Street shootings[5][6] and later the Columbine High School massacre."

So much for corporate responsibility, and the Supreme Court.
