The bill prohibits the “sale, transfer, production, and importation” of semi-automatic rifles and pistols that can hold a detachable magazine, as well as semi-automatic rifles with a magazine that can hold more than 10 rounds. Additionally, the legislation bans the sale, transfer, production, and importation of semi-automatic shotguns with features such as a pistol grip or detachable stock, and ammunition feeding devices that can hold more than 10 rounds.
So pretty much everything semi-auto.
Now, what we need to emphasize to people is that their Marlin Model 60 is a semi-auto with a greater than 10 round capacity can no longer be bought nor can they sell them or give them as a Christmas present to their family members.
Their dandy little Ruger Mark IV or Browning Buckmark squirrel hunting handguns, that’s gone too.
We need them to see that the Anti’s don’t plan on just stopping with the “AK-15”:rolleyes:.
Please make sure you call your reps and make sure your FUDD friends see the real plan.
For years, as these events have happened, we’ve argued that attempting another AWB targeted at ARs was pointless because nearly any centerfire semi-auto is functionally capable of the same thing.
They listened.
At least now we can argue on actual merits of the principle rather than silly cosmetic nuances.
I honestly hope you’re correct, but I personally don’t believe in a “sure thing”. I know you didn’t use that term, just want to be clear on that. As I posted elsewhere, the continued attention this is getting from and being pushed by the Media isn’t normal. Maybe I need to buy tinfoil, but part of me wonders if they are continuing to push things in hopes of another mass shooting so they can use it as further “proof” that “evil” guns need to go away. Our elected officials are only human, I could see some waffling in order to garner votes/funds and this proposal having a chance. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
As you pointed out, it is nice to see them once again show their true colors.
All any Republican with a brain has to do is point to the ‘94 ban and say, it had zero effect on violent crime then and it will have zero effect now. The sky is not falling. Yet…
Similar to how Chicago’s, NYC’s, DC’s, and California’s laws aren’t effective?
WE research and look at the facts/evidence. We know the '94 ban didn’t effect things. However, that was almost 24 years ago. Now days we have social media, an openly biased corporate media, and a couple generations that can’t be bothered to use their internet time to look into things on there own because that takes away from posting selfies, much less know how to do research at a library. A number of people are apathetic as they feel since they aren’t directly affected it doesn’t concern them. As many of us as there are, sadly we may be a minority over all.
Not saying the sky is falling, but being of the generation that was in high school back in '94, this is new territory for me.
Ok the bayonet lugs comment made me chuckle. I haven’t handled a rifle with those since I retired…and I actually like fixed stocks (but 2 of my 3 are collapsible). In general tho that does sound bad. I like having choices/options.
I bought my first AR (a RRA) in 2007 right after I got home from Iraq, along with getting a McMillan stock and Hart barrel for my Savage. Being that I lived in NY, I was limited to 10 round mags (hahahaha) no muzzle devices, no bayonet lugs, and a fixed stock. I eventually sold that RRA for rent money and then starting building my current collection of Mega and 80% lowers and BCM and CLE uppers. CA laws are still a pain in the rear and I do everything I can while staying legal, would love to experience true freedom some day.
As far as Iowa senators go, Chuck will most likely be against it based on comments he’s made in the last few years. Joni will go with whichever way the wind blows and help further her political stature.
No tinfoil. Seems like every time the Left or government needs a distraction from bad for Obama or Clinton, or justification to pass a bill, there’s a mass shooting to justify it all. Wasn’t there an antiterrorism bill stuck in Congress when Oklahoma City happened?
