No shit.  Between these and the emails from him at 0300, I think he ate a bottle of Adderall.  

Just read the bill......

did Sully make the list with a typo or is there some other EBR variant?

`(30) The term `semiautomatic assault weapon' means any of the following
`(A) The following rifles or copies or duplicates thereof:
<...items removed...>
`(xvi) SLR 95 or 96;

This topic is already getting batted around all over the other forums and boards on the net.

Will it make it out of the jud. committee?  I have no clue.

Will bush sign it? Why not... he has already lost his base and none of the current crop of candidates (except for Tancredo) have said they were against the previous AWB.

SLR 95 = Bulgy AK47.

+10000000000000000 on the brown shirts!


This is really bad for us terrorists!

If you have not read the bill yet you should.

Introduced by an asshole from NY of course.  Don't they have a statewide ban of some sort?  Politicians from ban states should not even be allowed to have a say on topics like this.

This would be the correct thread to show your new death stick you created unclecooter.

To scare the kids of course.

You are not alowed to post again till it is a pic of that new tool!  

Is this actually stricter than the old ban?

I thought the min-14's were excluded from the old ban. I also thought the old ban required more "evil" features than this one in it's definition of a semi assault rifle.

It also mentions M1 carbines but not M1A's.

A lot of shotguns would be AW's by these standards.

Why they are so interested in "barrel shrouds" has always mystified me...

I have seen hundreds of posts on Zumbo and I hope everyone that has put in comments on Zumbo can take the same amount of time and go to this web site and comment on HR1022. This is the end of AR’s, AK’s and several other firearms. It is permanent and Bush is on record as saying he will sign it into law. If it can be stopped in committee it is dead. If not, it will most likely end up the law. DO THIS NOW.

You do realize this woman does this every year at this time.

Search the Archives of GD and I am sure you will find threads about it last year.

It will not happen.


But I am ready just in case.

They may ban them but they will never confiscate them.

note sent to judiciary.  thanks for the link.

From the latest NRAILA email update:

THE MOST SWEEPING GUN BAN EVER INTRODUCED IN CONGRESS;
McCarthy Bill Bans Millions More Guns Than The Clinton Gun Ban

On Feb. 14, 2007, Representative Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.) introduced H.R. 1022, a bill with the stated purpose, "to reauthorize the assault weapons ban, and for other purposes."

McCarthy's verbiage warrants explanation. Presumably, what she means by "assault weapons ban" is the Clinton Gun Ban of 1994.  Congress allowed the ban to expire in 2004 for multiple reasons, including the fact that federal, state and local law enforcement agency studies showed that guns affected by the ban had been used in only a small percentage of crime, before and after the ban was imposed.

With the nation's murder rate 43% lower than in 1991, and the re-legalized guns still used in only a small percentage of crime, reauthorizing the Clinton Gun Ban would be objectionable enough. But McCarthy's "other purposes" would make matters even worse.  H.R. 1022 would ban every gun banned by the Clinton ban, plus millions more guns, including:

. Every gun made to comply with the Clinton ban. (The Clinton ban dictated the kinds of grips, stocks and attachments new guns could have. Manufacturers modified new guns to the Clinton requirements. H.R. 1022 would ban the modified guns too.)

. Guns exempted by the Clinton ban. (Ruger Mini-14s and -30s and Ranch Rifles; .30 cal. carbines; and fixed-magazine, semi-automatic, center-fire rifles that hold more than 10 rounds.)

. All semi-automatic shotguns. (E.g., Remington, Winchester, Beretta and Benelli, used for hunting, sport shooting, and self-defense.  H.R. 1022 would ban them because they have "any characteristic that can function as a grip," and would also ban their main component, called the "receiver.")

. All detachable-magazine semi-automatic rifles-including, for example, the ubiquitous Ruger 10/22 .22 rimfire-because they have "any characteristic that can function as a grip."

. Target shooting rifles. (E.g., the three centerfire rifles most popular for marksmanship competitions: the Colt AR-15, the Springfield M1A and the M1 "Garand.")

. Any semi-automatic shotgun or rifle an Attorney General one day claims isn't "sporting," even though the constitutions of the U.S. and 44 states, and the laws of all 50 states, recognize the right to use guns for defense.

. 65 named guns (the Clinton law banned 19 by name); semi-auto fixed-magazine pistols of over 10 rounds capacity; and frames, receivers and parts used to repair or refurbish guns.

H.R. 1022 would also ban the importation of magazines exempted by the Clinton ban, ban the sale of a legally-owned "assault weapon" with a magazine of over 10 rounds capacity, and begin backdoor registration of guns, by requiring private sales of banned guns, frames, receivers and parts to be conducted through licensed dealers.  Finally, whereas the Clinton Gun Ban was imposed for a 10-year trial period, H.R. 1022 would be a permanent ban.

Please be sure to contact your U.S. Representative and urge him or her to oppose
H.R. 1022!
