Assault weapons ban passed in House of Representatives

[The Legion]

Assault weapons ban passed in House of Representatives!

[Garufa]

With two R’s for and five D’s against.

What happens in the Senate will be interesting to say the least.

BTW, did anyone seriously think we would not get to this point again?  Remember the ‘90’s? 

[Erik88]

Wow. It says even possession is illegal if that Fox article is to be believed. Even if this somehow passed the Senate I think SCOTUS would quickly strike it down. 

[Sleep profit]

Who can defines what a assault weapon is. They can’t even define what a woman is  LOL

They did a pretty good job of defining it. Basically ANY AR or AK. They even list brands and models specifically in the bill.

They even added any "semi-auto copy of an exsisting full-auto gun" and any "semi-auto that takes a detatchable magazine including rimfires".

So, Glock 17's are out becuase there is a Glock 18, Beretta 92's are out becuse there is Beretta 93 and so forth. The intent was to after AR, AK, UZI pistols and the such but rest are just icing to them.

Ruger 10/22's are out as are ones like it as only tube-feds were exempt.

This one is way worse that the 94 ban.

I should be good: all my firearms identify as single shot.

The two Rs -- Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Jacobs of New York -- need some opposition in their primaries.  I don't usually make campaign donations to candidates in other states but I might make an exception this time.

Absolutely ! And it was at that point I knew there would be a day where "we" would become felons with the stroke of a pen. Seems it's growing ever closer. I'm still confident @Links2kis right on this one

[Snaveba]

If I read the bill correctly fir first time (which was really just skimming over it) there is a grandfather clause for weapons owned prior to the bill becoming law.

[tercel89]

I dont keep up with and understand the goverment politics that much but let me ask you this : Is this thing likely to get busted down when it goes to be "approved" by the final entity ?  I ask because things like this have rose up before in the past and got shot down really quick by the higher-ups.

I saw that. Fox was wrong which isn't surprising.

I've saw on several forums where there is a restriction against transfer of said "banned" grandfathered weapon. Any truth in that ?

And I've seen 3 lists of allowed weapons but have yet to see a list of the future banned weapons. I wonder if its on purpose to keep everyone speculating.

SEC. 5. BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR TRANSFERS OF GRANDFATHERED SEMIAUTOMATIC ASSAULT WEAPONS.

 

(a) In General.—Section 922 of title 18, United States Code, as amended by this Act, is amended—

(1) by repealing subsection (s);

(2) by redesignating subsection (t) as subsection (s);

(3) in subsection (s), as redesignated—

(A) in paragraph (3)(C)(ii), by striking “(as defined in subsection (s)(8))”; and

(B) by adding at the end the following:

“(7) In this subsection, the term ‘chief law enforcement officer’ means the chief of police, the sheriff, or an equivalent officer or the designee of any such individual.”; and

(4) by inserting after subsection (s), as redesignated, the following:

“(t) (1) Beginning on the date that is 90 days after the date of enactment of the Assault Weapons Ban of 2022, it shall be unlawful for any person who is not licensed under this chapter to transfer a grandfathered semiautomatic assault weapon to any other person who is not licensed under this chapter, unless a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed dealer has first taken custody of the grandfathered semiautomatic assault weapon for the purpose of complying with subsection (s). Upon taking custody of the grandfathered semiautomatic assault weapon, the licensee shall comply with all requirements of this chapter as if the licensee were transferring the grandfathered semiautomatic assault weapon from the licensee’s inventory to the unlicensed transferee.

“(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to a temporary transfer of possession for the purpose of participating in target shooting in a licensed target facility or established range if—

“(ii) shall not include any provision imposing recordkeeping requirements on any unlicensed transferor or requiring licensees to facilitate transfers in accordance with paragraph (1).”.

Mental midgets making laws that are absolutely against the latest SCOTUS ruling-

One example of hit and miss weapons-Ruger Mini 14 OK-Ruger Mini 14 with the word Tactical in its name not OK-

This would outlaw future sales of most semi-auto weapons including pistols and shotguns-

Literally ruining the firearms industry and putting thousands of their employees out of work-

And on this same note there also is some sort of bill riding along that would strike down the frivolous lawsuit ban and allow the manufacturers to be sued for misuse of their products-

Kinda like suing GMC for a drunk driver killing someone-not GM's fault but a person could see where this would lead-

[Snaveba]

I think in the case of the Mini 14 Tactical, it is not the name so much as the features (threaded barrel, etc.) that exclude it.

[Snaveba]

Interestingly, there is not a sunset clause in this bill. Also, they added a provision that if any portion of the bill is declared unconstitutional, that does not affect the remaining portions of the bill.
