Default Summary of Senator Feinstein's AWB Legislation

Just read feinsten's new ban bill, im almost happy. It is too restrictive. It has too much crap. So odds are nobody will pass it.

The 1994 bill had about just as much bullshit as this one and it passed. Thankfully the one thing I liked about Bush Jr was that he let it sunset.

I read it after seeing this and....holy shit. I knew it would be stupid, but not this stupid. Apparently she's opposing handguns, even though the Supreme Court deemed them legal. What the hell? Does Feinstein honestly expect this to pass? And do her and others that support shit like this really think that these bans lower crime? I'm so confused....

I'm of the opinion that these people have the logic and reasoning skills of a baked potato, which, when you think about it, would explain a lot.

feinstein bill says it cant have more than 1 military feature. Military features now includes detachable mags and pistol grips. So pistols are banned. And it says grandfathered weapons must be nfa registered. Many states ban carrying nfa weapons.

I have no fear of her bill. When bidens bill comes out, well, thats different. But knowing him he'll probaly make it legal to sell a ma deuce at wal mart by mistake.

I don't understand her either. She's wealthy, I'm fairly certain an elitist and old. Seventy-nine. She turns eighty in June. I think that much of what she does is to appeal to her core supporters in and around San Francisco and nothing else. The hell with legalities. But nevertheless I figured everyone should know the details. So she doesn't slip it through on the sly.

She really doesn't understand what her new bill is going to do to the NFA. They and the ATF will be annoyed as hell with the literal millions of forms they need to review and approve since the bill makes a Glock into an assault weapon

Detachable mags isn't counted as a military feature, that is the first criteria to determine if something is an AW, and then if it has 1 military feature (2 for the old AWB) it is banned. However, assuming that they are basing this on the original AWB, there were different characteristics for rifles, pistols and shotguns. For pistols the characteristic that made something an AW were being over a certain weight, having a magazine outside the pistol grip, being a version of a full auto weapon, having a barrel shroud, or having a threaded barrel. As she is proposing the one strike system this would make all "Tactical" pistols with a threaded barrel illegal, but the majority of pistols (with reduced capacity magazines) would remain legal.
