Introduced in House (02/26/2018)
Assault Weapons Ban of 2018

This bill amends the federal criminal code to make it a crime to knowingly import, sell, manufacture, transfer, or possess a semiautomatic assault weapon (SAW) or large capacity ammunition feeding device (LCAFD).

The prohibition does not apply to a firearm that is: (1) manually operated by bolt, pump, lever, or slide action; (2) permanently inoperable; (3) an antique; or (4) a rifle or shotgun specifically identified by make and model.

Additionally, the bill does not prohibit, with respect to a SAW or LCAFD:

importation, sale, manufacture, transfer, or possession related to certain law enforcement efforts, or authorized tests or experiments;
importation, sale, transfer, or possession related to securing nuclear materials; and
possession by a retired law enforcement officer.
The bill permits continued possession, sale, or transfer of a grandfathered SAW, which must be securely stored. A licensed gun dealer must conduct a background check prior to the sale or transfer of a grandfathered SAW between private parties.

The bill permits continued possession of, but prohibits sale or transfer of, a grandfathered LCAFD.

Newly manufactured LCAFDs must display serial number identification. Newly manufactured SAWs and LCAFDs must display the date of manufacture.

The legislation amends the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007 to require law enforcement agencies to be notified when a prohibited person attempts to purchase a grandfathered SAW.

It also amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to allow a state or local government to use Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program funds to compensate individuals who surrender a SAW or LCAFD under a buy-back program.

I’m reminded of the quote from Animal Farm:

“All animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

Pay attention fellas. When the Democrats get back into power, this is what is next.

Exactly why I buy as much and as often as I can. I don't own anything that wouldn't be in trouble on that list.

Why? You wouldn't be able to sell them if that passed

"The bill permits continued possession, sale, or transfer of a grandfathered SAW, which must be securely stored. A licensed gun dealer must conduct a background check prior to the sale or transfer of a grandfathered SAW between private parties."

But again, this will never pass. If it does, the 2nd Civil War will be the result.

Same shit, different day.

This sort of thing is why I've been pack ratting magazines for nearly 25 years and advise other people to do the same.

Whenever I find a sale on magazines that is a really really good deal I will usually by 50 or a hundred at a time. The Trump slump has seriously increased my magazine inventory.

It would be the run up until that thing passed that would be worth having lowers if the Dems were in charge. I mean nothing passed last time and you saw the shortages. I mean fucking 22lr of all things.
