    Also, this would qualify as a "semi-automatic assault weapon" under this bill:

    28277264_10109750168585928_2560588031971963467_n.jpg


    It would also "ban" the Ruger 10/22 and similar semi-auto rimfires if they have threaded barrels.

    This will create a "run" on the ass-defined-semiautomatic-assault-weapons. Prices WILL go up...

    Hmmm... Wonder if this will bring a resurgence in non-detachable mags with stripper clips?

    I missed that part.

    What construes a "transfer" under Federal law? Can my son inherit a now-banned weapon? I'm guessing no.

    Lol.....good luck with that. Some terrible definitions in that document. It's like a toddler that doesn't know anything about firearms wrote it.

    Although, I'm pretty glad they're trying to get those super dangerous barrel shrouds off the street.

    Yes, he could.

    However, Section 5 appears to require a FFL taking possession of the 'grandfathered semiautomatic assault weapon' and performing a background check prior to transferring it.

    ...of course, there's no way to enforce that...

    That's how they will afford the forced turn-in. Say you own a $500 AR and are 50 years old. They say you can keep it but never transfer it. So it gets cut up when you die at 80.

    Thus $500 inflated at 2%/year for 30 years and discounted at 5% to a present value = $210.

    It's like they're trying to **** us off enough to get 0 democrats elected. Seriously.....all they should be doing right now is just sitting back and watching the right eat itself.

    The democrats really want to get their asses handed to them in November, don't they?

    I want one of those rocket launcher attachments. And the rockets...

    And these idiots that write these things wonder why we hold them in disdain and contempt.
