I only skimmed through, but the only thing different than what we have here is the "extra pistol grip" feature. Otherwise, its just like the Kaliban AWB.

Quoted: Thats the scariest damn thing i ever read I'm pretty new here, and have just started paying attention to the pollitical side of gun ownership. I think I'll take 5mins and go over to the NRA's website and pay whatever the rate is for a membership. Atleast they stand up for our right for gun ownership... |

"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.’’
THIS IS MORE UNCONSTITUTIONAL BULLSHIT! I can't imagine that this will pass, but WITFK! I know if this is ever the law I will fight it until death. Anyone that would enforce such a law is no better than the Nazis who were only "following orders." There are God given rights that a government cannot rightfully take from the people (without spilling blood) and the right to bear arms and protect yourself is such a right. Death to tyrants! |

The House Bill 2038 is basically dead as proposed and even the majority of House Democrats will admit that it's prospects are almost zero. Their only strategy would be I think to compromise with the Senate's new AWB, but even the Senate AWB bill's prospects are very slim to say the least. This House bill will in all likelyhood never even make it out of committee to reach the House floor for a vote.

There is not a single cop on my squad who would ever enforce or go along with any form of garbage like this. This should never pass, but it NEVER SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN AS FAR AS IT HAS! |

They ought to have fun with that. Confiscation of legally purchased property is my line in the sand, and it doesn't get moved for anyone. It would be time to feed the hogs. |

So you're saying that you'd give them your gun bullets first? Stickman was right - no law enforcement agent in his/her right mind is going to enforce that.
This bill won't pass for hell. If it bans common sporting rifles, SHOTGUNS, and pistols, then no way. I'm suprised the Remington 700 ain't on the list..... |

CRC I say this based on "Section 4 Grandfather Provisions" which is on page 8 of the document linked in the first post. This secion would specifically make the date for determining whether a weapon is grandfathered 9/13/94. Since it's new definition of semi-automatic assault rifle includes postban ARs etc any made after 9/13/94 would not be grandfathered. |

well 2nd amendment violations up the yin-yang on that one. Welcome to America were all our past freedoms and rights are now in danger.
Its funny how they think that they are protecting LEO and Civilians when rifles are not used that often in crimes, and most LEO that I have talked with hate the damn thing. |

any democrats out there? why do they always say stuff like "its gonna be dead on arrival" or "there is zero chance for anything like it to pass". whatever happened to "its unconstitutional and i will not vote for it or support those who submitted it"? republicans , too, so as not to flame anyone unnecessarily. if anyone is saying what i'd like to hear, the press is obviously not reporting it, as usual. write them letters, make them calls and say its not good enough to just let it roll on by and say it won't happen becuase the crap does get passed at some point. time for the elected ones to earn that big pension plan of theirs and stand up for whats right. by the way, ever seen how their retirement works? that alone is enough for another tea party.

But dear god, if they managed to ban the Garand..... It would be the second civil war... |

This is bs, and im calling my senator to complain about these bills. In my state, we have a 800 million dollar detb. They are shutting downt he government because our state senate refused to pass a tax increase. that would pay for police, fire departments, and schools. Dont think my state is even looking at this kinda thing |

You guys need to get your heads right.
Over the top legislation, such as that, is a dream come true. It won't pass. Be wary of "reasonable" anti-gun legislation. |

There is no such thing as reasonable anti-gun legislation. If there were, then we'd also have reasonable anti-free speech legislation.
Imagine a ban on printing presses that are capable of "hi-capacity" printing, or they're banned because they're state of the art and used by the government to print propaganda. If these liberals were around 150 years ago, they would want to pass "reasonable" legislation to ban double action revolvers. |

Relax and realize the context in which I speak.
If we panic in all situations, we'll never keep our heads during a true crisis. By "reasonable" (note once again that I use quotations), I refer to bills not so drastic, not so sweeping. Bills that moderate Republicans, fearing Soccer-Mom wrath, might endorse. Reason is a good thing. Try it. |

If as you say it won't pass, your question then becomes moot. After all, if we live in a land where something like this won't/can't pass, gun owners are/will be somewhat satisfied. |
