New AWB & Possession

[Jason R. Bruce]

Democratic Sens. Harry Reid and Joe Manchin, whose voting record earned them the NRA's "top rating," have backed off their "pro-gun" positions and declared that "everything must be on the table" for legislative debate. The 31 pro-gun senators have not spoken since Friday's tragedy, signaling the possibility that some of them might be changing their minds on guns, too.

Lawmakers are essentially being asked to consider an updated version of the 1994 assault weapons ban. On Sunday, Feinstein promised the legislation "will ban the sale, the transfer, the importation and the possession" of assault weapons and ban high-capacity magazines as well as "clips of more than ten bullets."

So....

In the tone of Jim Mora, POSSESSION??? POSSESSION???

There are a variety of ways possession can be interporated, and the Supreme Court would probably end up deciding many of them, but I'm curious what the context of "possession" is here. How does it compare to the previous AWB of '94? Anybody?

Don't worry, they will likely give you a $100 tax credit for each one turned in.

Hey if we turn our "assault weapons" in are we exempt from the Obamacare penalty?

Yesterday I heard the politicians backing off a bit and they stated the black rifles in private hands before any legislation is passed will be grandfathered for protection of possession or ownership. The criminal possession part has to be dropped from the bill due to problems with enforcement. We all knew that would have to be the case. Who would voluntarily give uptheir rifles?
