HR 7115 - Ban AR, 80% lower and parts kit builds???

[T.Lex]

The Repub House when the Dems had the Senate and WH, passed hundreds of bills that never went any further... now it is the Dems turn. We have to wait and see if Trump becomes sympathetic. We know he seems to have a first instinct to sympathize and feel the need to do something. But then he either settles down or someone explains things to him.

Except for bumpstocks.

I'd love to see a report on the numbers of home built guns used in crimes. I'm guessing the total number is pretty close to zero.

Your average street punk isn't going to spend the time or effort to build his own gun when he can trade a bag of weed for a Hi-Point.

But of course we all know these bills aren't about actually trying to prevent crime.

 

[T.Lex]

Wow. I didn't realize Hi-Points had increased in value so much.

Back in the day, I heard you could trade a cement brick for one. The brick was more useful.

Except for bumpstocks.

Nope, they apparently couldn't talk him out of that one. So we have to sit here worrying every time there is another mass shooting and pray there isn't anything like Sandy Hook... I have no idea how he would react to that occurring under his watch.

These bastards can go straight to Hell.

This bill doesn't just infringe on second amendment rights, there are so some serious first amendment infringements included too.

I assume you're right. Funny enough, a cop that I am FB friends with posted a pic of a gun they recovered that was used in a crime recently. It was an 80% glock lower, with some sort of fancy looking aftermarket slide, threaded barrel, and no sights.

Well, when your shooting style consists of holding the gun sideways over your head, sights aren't really important.

Wouldn't this law reclassify semi auto pistols as assault weapons?

Wouldn't this law reclassify semi auto pistols as assault weapons?

Only semiauto pistols that have certain characteristics.

The special features described in subsection (a)(3)(B)(ii) are—

(1) an ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip;
(2) a threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer;
(3) a shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel and that permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned;
(4) a second hand grip;
(5) a manufactured weight of 50 ounces or more when the pistol is unloaded; and
(6) a semiautomatic version of an automatic firearm.

Is that any or all features? I am underweight, but over threaded!

 

[kirtar]

It's any features. Apparently I shot ISSF style competition with an assault weapon.

I have a suppressor on the way to jail. If I end up not being able to use it i will bebe less than thrilled
