Liberals, IMO, are often in favor of banning certain weapons because they see little reasoning to own large calibered semi and automatic weapons for protection, or hunting.
And this is why people hate liberals, my rights do not depend on what they do and do not see as valid reasoning, BTW, my handgun fires .40 caliber 180 grain bullets, that is a large caliber handgun, and guess what, it has very legit self defense purposes as the stopping power tends to reduce my chances of a lucky retaliatory shot from the person trying to injure me, ditto for semi or fully automatics if I happen to miss.
Revises the definition of "semiautomatic assault weapon" to include conversion kits (for converting a firearm to such a weapon) and any semiautomatic rifle or pistol that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and that has specified characteristics, including a telescoping stock.
How does any of that make a gun more dangerous? And, what gives these idiots the credentials or rights to make the distinction? Don't try to answer, it's rhetorical, they don't know a damn thing about guns so their opinion only matters as much as the SCOTUS lets them assert control over these things, and B, they do not actually have the right to pass laws or make these distinctions, only a friendly SCOTUS would allow this to actually pass.
Prohibits the transfer of such a weapon except through a licensed dealer or a state or local law enforcement agency, subject to specified requirements.
So to transfer my property I have to pay an extra fee, yeah, that's fair.:roll:
2) annually submit the record to Congress and make it available to the public.
It IS NOT the business of congress and especially NOT the publics what a gun has been used for, that is a political move.
Prohibits: (1) the transfer of any assault weapon with a large capacity ammunition feeding device; and (2) a licensed manufacturer, importer, or dealer who transfers such a device that was manufactured on or before this Act's enactment from failing to certify to the Attorney General, within 60 days of the transfer date, that the device was manufactured on or before that date. Sets forth penalties for violations.
Not the AG's business, not the governments business, completely violates the second amendment rights of people in the U.S.
Prohibits: (1) the transfer of such a weapon or device to a juvenile;
Fine, minors aren't ful; adults, no problem here
and (2) the importation of such a device.
Again, not the governments business.
Here's a summary. You tell me what you find so egregious about it?
It's anti-second amendment, the government is overstepping it's proscribed constitutional restrictions and asserting rights it doesn't have, it makes criminals out of law abiding citizens, it's arrogant, stupid policy, won't contribute to overall public safety, etc. etc.
