H. R. 6257: Assault Weapons Ban

Well here it is set up and ready to go when Snobama gets in. Sorry if this has already been posted.


Quote:
6/12/2008--Introduced.
Assault Weapons Ban Reauthorization Act of 2008 - Amends the federal criminal code to reinstate, for 10 years, the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act's assault weapons ban to prohibit the manufacture, transfer, or possession of a semiautomatic assault weapon or a large capacity ammunition feeding device. Specifies models and features of banned weapons.
Sets forth exceptions to such ban, including: (1) firearms or devices lawfully possessed under federal law on the date of enactment of this Act; (2) certain firearms, replicas, or duplicates listed in an appendix as they were manufactured on October 1, 1993; (3) any firearm that is manually operated by bolt, pump, lever, or slide action and that has been rendered permanently inoperable or that is an antique firearm; (4) any semiautomatic rifle that cannot accept a detachable magazine that holds more than five rounds of ammunition; (5) any semiautomatic shotgun that cannot hold more than five rounds in a fixed or detachable magazine; and (6) firearms manufactured for, transferred to, or possessed by a federal, state, or local government agency or for law enforcement.
Requires the serial number of any weapon or device manufactured after enactment of this Act to clearly show the date of manufacture.
Directs the Attorney General to study and report to Congress on the effects of this Act on violent and drug trafficking crime.

The woman is a moron...From my understanding, she's not getting much traction or support.

i heard clinton warned congress not to screw with gun control laws. AWB 1 was considered to be one of the main reasons dems got kicked out of congress soon after.

pro gun has only grown massively since 94: no CHL states back then now 40 of them, and there are many many owners of AKs and ARs, gun ownership rate is going up

I hope things are left just as they are even thought I believe that may soon not be reality. If it aint broke don't fix it.
