There is nothing new in that understanding - if... the proposal goes
through as currently written. There's a lot of room for speculation
there. That said - what you post above, though fair in the realm of
speculation, does nothing to support the claim that everyone will be
forced to buy a SawStop.

Let's just simplify it a bit. Anyone buying a NEW legal table saw IN
THE US would be forced to buy a SawStop.
There's always someone willing to sell non-compliant equipment off the
back of a truck, or to represent it as "used", or to bring
non-compliant equipment in from, say, Mexico. Or China.

Yes - but as I stated - let's not get too carried away here. Proposals are
written every day, and subsequently pared back. I agree that there is cause
for alarm when one individual seems to be gaining a heavy hand, but this
is, at the end of the day - a proposal.

So worst case (which would be a bad worse case...) every new saw would have
to meet the requirements of the new legislation. That by itself does not
meet the FUD from the previous poster that said we would all have to buy
that technology. There remains the existing saws which would not be
affected by this legislation, the used market, etc.

Your simplification is correct (if this goes through without modification),
however it is not the topic of this particular discussion.

BTW - you do not need to capitalize to make your point.
