Ah, yes. I'd forgotten about the "military feature" language...:angry:According to my interpretation of this link on CNN, here is where Feinstein's proposal bans the Tactical model in a conventional stock.
Summary of bill > What's in Feinstein's gun bill - CNN.com
"All semiautomatic rifles that can accept a detachable magazine and have at least one military feature: pistol grip; forward grip; folding, telescoping, or detachable stock; grenade launcher or rocket launcher; barrel shroud; or threaded barrel."
Hi COBrien;So...this is the only Mini-14 she wants to ban?

I find it interesting that she's talking about discriminating against "ugly" or "tactical" or "dangerous" or "intimidating", but mostly BLACK rifles. Nothing wrong with my All Weather Ranch Rifle, right? Or, for that matter, a Tactical in a factory synthetic stock?
Well good thing they're trying to address those silly grenade and rocket launchers... Those kids are running around rampant with them.According to my interpretation of this link on CNN, here is where Feinstein's proposal bans the Tactical model in a conventional stock.

Not all "grandfather clauses" are created equal.It also says all weapons lawfully posessed at the time of enactment will be grandfathered - same for magazines.
The original summary of the Bill required grandfathered weapons to be registered under the NFA (as suppressors are now). This would equate to national registration and, most likely, a tax stamp.It also says all weapons lawfully posessed at the time of enactment will be grandfathered - same for magazines.
Grumpy.. take a deep breath.. you had me at the Calguns comment.Not all "grandfather clauses" are created equal.
1. Mags cannot be resold, passed down, etc. This represents theft of my family's property, as well as theft of my use of my own property. If I have medical expenses, etc and need to sell some guns and accessories to pay for it, this is illegal. The government has stolen the use of my lawfully purchased and lawfully held property.
2. Do the weapons need to be entered into the National Firearms Registry of the NFA? If so, that's a $200 tax per gun. Collectors with large collections can count on paying some thousands of dollars at minimum.
3. If NFA is req'd to merely continue to possess your weapons, this means that you have to ask the local police "pretty please" to keep your guns. They can decline and you are now a person known to the cops to be in possession of "illegal guns".
4. That inability to sell/buy magazines cuts both ways. What if you have always dreamed of a Thompson semi auto carbine but it was just a little out of reach? Fortune smiles upon you and - you can't buy magazines anymore. Those of us who collect will be hit really hard here. How many mags for collectible guns you don't have yet do you keep on hand? Any? How many PPSh41 mags do you have? PPS43? Thompson drums? M1 Carbine mags? Mauser 98 trench mags (25 shots for the M98)? AK mags? G3 mags? Valmet mags? AUG mags? FAMAS mags? AR "waffle" mags for that early '60's retro build? BM59 mags? Browning Hi Power mags? Sten mags? Sterling mags? Greasegun mags? Uzi mags? etc.
Perhaps most importantly of all, NONE of the legislation being discussed would do a single thing to prevent atrocities like the one at Sandy Hook. The perp did not buy a gun, did not use an "assault weapon" (Connecticut already has an assault weapon ban for pete's sake!), and would not in any way have been inconvenienced by having to pause for 2 seconds after every 10 trapped victims had been slain! This bill is payback, pure and simple. Payback for not being a good little sheeple, payback for liking guns, payback for not being "enlightened" like the welfare sponges and limosine liberals of SF. This is payback for being a middle class conservative gunowner - the kind of person "enlightened" progressives genuinely love to hate.

Sorry whofarted, sometimes I get a little carried away!Grumpy.. take a deep breath.. you had me at the Calguns comment.
btw did it mention a grandfathering of bulletbuttons? cuz if we ban the bulletbutton federally CA is screwed! Does this retroactively make our toys CA assault weapons?
DiFi's bill is the least of our sh¡t right now. We also have an amended awb, an ammo restriction bill and an ammo permit bill all in the works right nowSorry whofarted, sometimes I get a little carried away!
Yep, the gunnies in California are righteously screwed if they ban the "bullet button".
The whole POS bill needs to go in the sewer where it belongs. This thing is a multi-flush piece of legislation.
All the best,
Grumpy
Nice.. eye bleach anyone?
Hi whofarted;DiFi's bill is the least of our sh¡t right now. We also have an amended awb, an ammo restriction bill and an ammo permit bill all in the works right now
