So do the millions who own those “assault weapons” now have to get rid of them? If it is, that seems to be a taking of property through legislation as well as a Constitutional right.
Damn, why don’t people know this stuff. Pre-ban will be grandfathered in same as 94 AWB.
Next move is to take away those, but would require another democrat-led bill.
negative:“(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to the possession, sale, or transfer of any semiautomatic assault weapon otherwise lawfully possessed under Federal law on the date of enactment of the Assault Weapons Ban of 2022.

No they can keep them- they will just be felons from now on- but the great news is that to democrats, felons are above the law- just change your party affiliation to democrat, and you’ll be golden- they will never arrest you for having an ‘illegal weapon’
Here is what the legislation says in its most convoluted manner:
“(aa) Secure Storage Or Safety Device Requirement For Grandfathered Semiautomatic Assault Weapons.
—It shall be unlawful for any person, other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed dealer, to store or keep under the dominion or control of that person any grandfathered semiautomatic assault weapon that the person knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, will be accessible to an individual prohibited from receiving or possessing a firearm under subsection (g), (n), or (x), or any provision of State law, unless the grandfathered semiautomatic assault weapon is—
“(1) carried on the person, or within such close proximity that the person can readily retrieve and use the grandfathered semiautomatic assault weapon as if the grandfathered semiautomatic assault weapon were carried on the person; or
“(2) locked by a secure gun storage or safety device that the prohibited individual has no ability to access.”.
