Here's what it says (this is right from VPC suggestions guys/gals) :



`(L) A semiautomatic rifle or shotgun originally designed for military or law enforcement use, or a firearm based on the design of such a firearm, that is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, as determined by the Attorney General. In making the determination, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that a firearm procured for use by the United States military or any Federal law enforcement agency is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, and a firearm shall not be determined to be particularly suitable for sporting purposes solely because the firearm is suitable for use in a sporting event.'.

Umm, bye bye Remingtons 870s and Mossbergs. Well, at least the 870s would be a loss.

What I see is (aside from those already mentioned):

No DCM guns (M1, M1A, AR-15/DCM)

Also say goodbye to a very popular hunting rifle, the Remington 700 series in which the .308 version is used by military snipers.

Uh my dad has a two 700s and they're bolt actions, not semi-autos.

Last time I checked, those were PUMPS, not semi auto!

This bill is just a "Lowball" bid. They'll change their tune soon, and introduce the a carbon copy of the senate bill in the house.

...They'll call it "Compromise"

NO COMPROMISE

Wow.

I guess some people have their own 'edited' copy of the Constitution.  Funny, how they edit documents issued as 'the truth' for their own purposes.  Typically this includes the good book as well...

I don't want to get into the issues for fear of being called a bigot, etc and everyone's opinions are their own, but the comparison applies, regardless.  It'd certainly be hard to say they maintain a strict interpretation.

It's really nice though that they'll be getting the guns out of the hands of crooks, such as ourselves.

I wonder if anyone will miss her. She should read the book "Unintended Consequences". It is an amazing history of the U.S. written a decade or two prior to actually becoming history. Provided I live a normal lifespan I will see it as U.S. history.

This sounds too much like Jabberwocky.  A firearm being suitable for use in a sporting event doesn't mean that it is suitable for sporting purposes. Very "Through the Looking Glass."

Either the AG needs to take a balls-on stance on this issue, or the S.C. needs to resolve it.

I've often wondered why the S.C. even entertains firearms-related cases involving civilians if civilian/private ownership is prohibited under the constitution. Seems that a civilian wouldn't even have standing to present a case.

The slope is just getting slicker.
