H.R. 4269 Assault Weapons Ban of 2015 seeks to outlaw possession, sale, manufacture, and import of PARTS, too, as well as hundreds of types of guns. This is an attempt to criminalize build-it yourself hobbyists.
The bill is moving through committees and is in the Homeland Security committee now. Read the bill here.

GO TRUMP 2016!!!
