2018 Assault Weapons Ban - Full Text

[snorko]

HR 5087

Lovely, includes universal background checks for evil assault rifles / pistols / shotguns. It's like someone just picked up a Janes Weapons of theWorld book and started listing guns. Beretta CX4 = assault rifle. Ruger PC9 or Marlin Camp 9 are exempt.

Looks like a looney liberal dem bill, right? Do we see any R's on there?

My dad calls them clips to aggravate me...He said that's what he always called them and he is to old to change....

I still do it to **** my brother off. His reflex is to correct me until he sees me grinning at his indignation.

And now that I know it aggravates you too..........................

The SKS with detachable mag is banned as an "AR type" but with a fixed 10rnd mag is exempt.

Mini-14s and Mini-30's are exempt but virtually all AR's are banned.

I like it when they list themselves on the record like that. Less research I have to do right before going to the voting booth

People somewhere are nervous. A distributor said they sold all of their 138,000 gen2 pmags they had in stock over the last two days. Plus however many gen3's and all of their lowers as well.

Sounds like dealers prepping for another gouge.

Possibly, Midway had IMI 556 for .24-.26 a round, I ordered ONLY 2400 rounds and next morning (yesterday) price shot up to .37 a round. No mo sale...

This is largely a rehash of the old AWB but there were some updates. The list of banned guns and exempt guns is a little more updated but still ridiculous. A lot of the guns haven't been in production for 30-40 years or more and were obscure when they were in production, God forbid a Wilkinson Arms Linda didn't get on the banned list. There were a couple notable changes, the new definition, if a semi-auto had a detachable magazine, they are an "AW" if they only have one evil feature from the list, I believe last time it had to be two, hence we could still basically have AR's with pistol grips but no other evil features. It looks like now even a pistol grip would make something an AW am I correct? Also it looks like no more threaded barrels in handguns. One question I have is since there is an actual list of 'exempt' guns does that mean no new models can come out?

How about we introduce a bill to ban government. It's proven to just be too dangerous. I mean society is a free for all mess now, how much worse could it be? We could send all of our politicians to Mexico. Then build a REALLY BIG WALL.

Looks like the SKS or Garand will be hot again.

I'd like Remington to bring back the 7615...

You think the M1 is up to winning another war? It is a pretty old war horse you know

It's called the Overton Window. It basically refers to a negotiating tactic where they ask for much more than they expect to get and then settle for more than what their opponent wanted. They'd probably concede the barrel shroud easily but the other traits are classics that the grabbers hate.

As we're all reminded, call your elected politicians and let them know.

Folks, lets be real for a minute.

This bill is NOT the total ban on semi-autos that early articles lead people to believe, but it is still absolutely DOA since Democrats are the minority in both the House and Senate. This is to say nothing of how poorly worded it is and how significant sections of it are utterly unenforceable (Section 5 comes immediately to mind). It will do nothing but be discussed on 24/7 cable news, internet forums, social media and NRA eBlasts in the coming days/weeks/months, as progressives use it to grandstand...I fully expect another Congressional "sit-in".

Why do you believe that some Republicans won't vote to pass it or something like it?

Will *some* Republicans in each House vote for "gun safety measures"? Probably.

Will *enough* Republicans in each House vote for ***this bill as written*** to get it to Trump's desk? I seriously doubt it.

If the results of the midterm elections result in Democrats controlling one House and having a narrow minority in the other, I can see them making some minor concessions to the language (removing threaded barrels from 'military features', for example) to get enough cross-aisle votes in favor - that would allow them to trumpet its 'bipartisan' nature.

McCain and some other RHINO's could vote with the enemy. Not enough to matter other that hopefully solidify their demise.
