So, let's say there's a new ban...

Then how do we refer to rifles that were manufactured before the 'original' ban? We can't just say "pre-ban" anymore! :confused:

Inquiring minds want to know... now back to your panic-filled, chicken-little Thursday afternoon. [Flower]

We'll probably refer to them as "registered assault weapons" or we'll refer to them as "guns we used to own but either sold or lost in a boating accident".

you havent read it, have you?
There is no grandfather clause.
If it passes as proposed, you must turn in all mags, weapons, everything

O-Bans?

If it passes as proposed, it will redefine the term "felon"

If you're referring to Feinswein's ban, you would be wrong. Most of our guns become NFA items under her silliness.

No, not for real. Current items will get grandfathered and registered as NFA items.

Following is a summary of the 2013 legislation:

• Bans the sale, transfer, importation, or manufacturing of:
  
  • 120 specifically-named firearms;
  • Certain other semiautomatic rifles, handguns, shotguns that can accept a detachable magazine and have one or more military characteristics; and
  • Semiautomatic rifles and handguns with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10 rounds.
  
  
• Strengthens the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban and various state bans by:
  
  • Moving from a 2-characteristic test to a 1-characteristic test;
  • Eliminating the easy-to-remove bayonet mounts and flash suppressors from the characteristics test; and
  • Banning firearms with “thumbhole stocks” and “bullet buttons” to address attempts to “work around” prior bans.
  
  
• Bans large-capacity ammunition feeding devices capable of accepting more than 10 rounds.
• Protects legitimate hunters and the rights of existing gun owners by:
  
  • Grandfathering weapons legally possessed on the date of enactment;
  • Exempting over 900 specifically-named weapons used for hunting or sporting purposes; and
  • Exempting antique, manually-operated, and permanently disabled weapons.
  
  
• Requires that grandfathered weapons be registered under the National Firearms Act, to include:
  
  • Background check of owner and any transferee;
  • Type and serial number of the firearm;
  • Positive identification, including photograph and fingerprint;
  • Certification from local law enforcement of identity and that possession would not violate State or local law; and
  • Dedicated funding for ATF to implement registration.
