FYI - First Look... tells me what I had already postulated: its going to cause a stampede of firearms off the shelves in huge numbers where still to be had - probably why this HR-1022 took a week to surface. See Section 4. Part 'D' in the descriptions catches everything with pistol grip + detachable magazines. It also seems to create a gun tracking function in the last section.
This is it - it gets the all AR clones, Aramalite 10s', Kel-Tecs, Bushmasters and the old usual suspects and this time with NO sunset. They wont make that mistake twice...
And if that Senator from New York wins... but first, can we ask she submits to a chromosome test.
There going to be a war in & with the media, and with NRA/GOA in there somewhere I hope. Since the old AW Ban can now be proven to have had no effect on gun crime perhaps theres a small bit of hope . but dont count on it stopping the media from rallying the masses of sheep. If, after this become Law and they check the support levels - they will go for high-cap pistols. Find it interesting they did not specify FN PS-90s, FN-57s or FS-2000's but they do get caught in Definitions (D).
"The Battle Lines Need To Unanimous or Divided We All Lose ..."
ps. Toldya to watch the buzz-phrase "SEMIAUTOMATIC ASSAULT WEAPONS"!

Oddly enough, USA Today had a front page story on the police getting high power weapons to face the threat from criminals having 'assault' weapons. Must be a coincidence.
HR 1022. The bill number is rather ironic.
It's not limited to 10 years?
Mr. President - please veto this. Please?
Not surprising...........Hillary wants to ban all ammunition. She has stated that it's not right to ban guns. So what good are the guns? Does she really thing that people don't understand what she's up to?
Again, using the blood of victims to further their leftist disarmament campaign.
I PRAY that I am wrong.
Like most laws, it is not limited to any time period.
The 10-year sunset of the prior AWB was added to get Bob Dole's support (without which it would not have passed at all).
There is no 10-year sunset clause on this one.
if this is the same bill i saw the other day, there isn't much left that will be legal. even the M1 carbines would be banned.
Duncan Hunter where are you? Get on this, "open fire" on these Commies. Take it to the NRA, GOA.
There's a slight chance that a lame duck moderate like President Bush might sign something like this. There's only a slight chance that Rudy Giuliani would NOT sign it into law.
That's because, as typical ignorant, uninformed, arrogant politicians, they probably don't know about those yet. They're still hung up on AK's and SKS's.
You certainly have that part correct.
They really want to do away with the reset button don't they? To all the parrots that keep saying that gun control is a dead issue all I can say is ESAD.
