Would a factory stock SKS qualify as an “assault weapon” under Feinstein’s proposed legislation?
Yes. 1 or more “assault” features.
It doesn’t matter. Nothing in her bill will pass the house.
This time they are going full retard with this. They’ll push it with all their power. If you underestimate their determination you’ll end up like us, here up north. 
The whole thing is moving so fast and I would be surprised if they are not negociating with the republicans some sort of deal with the fiscal cliff legislation. They’ll push it in imediatlely after hollydays, before the oposition can organize and before you know it, you have the ban in effect.
NRA has been really weak so far. It doesn’t look good.
They have a list of 130 firearms they will ban outright, by name. This is a very dangerous thing. They can just add things to the list as they come out. They do that up here in Canada. The SCAR was in RCMP hands for aproval for three years. They couldn’t make it go full auuto, but two months ago they still made it prohibited. :mad:
This will kill half the industry if it becomes law. You may be able to keep what you have, if you register it, but they will force most of this companies that make semiautos to stop production.
They will push but their power in the house is not enough.

Apeal to the moderators. Please don’t move this thread to the general discusion. Not everyone has 200 posts to be able to post comments there.
They can bargain with the fiscal cliff thingy and get republicans on board. If it doesn’t fly, Obama will still try to push it with Executive Order.
I think the only thing that will stop this madness, would be mass protests and very strong declarations of defiance.
From what I’ve seen so far, in all his decisions, Obama will back away if he sees strong resistance.
This has been covered in several threads. But they would be stupid to bargain away the gun rights of the 99% in exchange for letting the 1% keep there lower tax rates. Lots more voters in the 99%. As with the executive order it has limits he can not just make new law. The USA is not a dictatorship.

It all depends who the republicans want to stand for. They’ll have to chose between firearm companies or banks and large multinational enterprises.
I hope you can stop them. A ban in US will make our life up here very hard, with hard to find parts, rifles and ammunition. It’s already a pain importing anything from US.
The same people who say the anti’s won’t push through a ban are the same ones that said Obamacare would not become law and that Barry would not get re-elected . . .
Well the reason health care got reformed is the system was majorly broken and the rates were going up at a rate 3 times that of inflation. Something needed to change. We can debate that another day. But yes I saw that passing as most of the nation supported health care reform. And the plan was a republican one in the begining. As for Obama getting re-elected I thought it would be a tight race and it was. Now with the gun issue we have a lot of things in our favor. To pass gun laws they need a filibuster proof majority in both houses and they don’t even have a simple majority. So while things are not good its an up hill battle for antigunners. A lot of people are throwing in the towl way too early.

Ain’t no one throw’n in the towel friend, we just see the writing on the wall and are planning accordingly. 
I wish i had the money to plan accordingly… I’m am very thankful for what i have though. I was able to get a very nice bcm/noveske/aimpoint rifle together a few months ago. I have one spare lower for future and roughly 25 mags.
I NEED ammo bad!!!
I hope it does.
Damn, I want to get in on this price-gouging bandwagon! $50 p-mags! $1,200 Mini14! unobtanium AR Bolt Carrier Groups!
I plan to price my “exotic, foreign assault rifle” SKS at $1,500.
Up here the SKS is non restricted, but the mag has to be limited to 5 rounds.
That made my stomach hurt i laughed so hard! Unfortunately, I am one of the few who are trying to buy a new AR before the ban so I have ONE. Its Brutal out here.
Pat, I hope you’re right.
Also, M1 Carbines are supposedly on “the list” alongside the SkS, in her bill.
Where did you find “the list?” I’ve only seen she mentions banning 170 specific firearms.
I wonder if the garand is on the list also?
Garand isn’t on there – non-removable mag and capacity under 10 rds.
