I don't think you can count on anything NOT finding it's way onto our dictator's list. If memory serves, a Crosman (AR-looking) pellet gun made the list?
That aside, the WK180 as a more AR-ish look so based on that alone....might be higher-up on the ban list if/when that happens. The Liberals want them all.
Obviously, huge difference in the shooting experience between 223 and 9mm. The 223 could be used for a wider variety of hunting/varmint chores. Louder, more expensive to feed. If you're mostly plinking/reactive targets you might want to pick the Ruger. They have heavy barrels and no matter which one you pick, they're muzzle heavy as a result. The Rugers run like a top, and there are still deals to be found on 9mm once in a while. Less so on 223, and even less so on accurate 223 ammo you might choose for coyote hunting.
If you prefer the AR-look but want a gun that eats 9mm, you might consider the FX-9. Most people picking a 9mm carbine seem to be choosing between Ruger and the FX-9. I really like the FX-9 and it's lighter than the Ruger, I imagine Ruger parts/availability is better, and will be going forward.
