Gun ban#2
Contains a larger piece of window dressing than the 1994
ban. Whereas the 1994 ban included a list of approximately 600 rifles
and shotguns exempted from the ban by name, the new bill’s list is
increased to nearly 1,000 rifles and shotguns. But most of the guns on
the list either wouldn’t be banned in the first place, or would already
be exempted by other provisions. On the other hand, the list inevitably
misses every model of rifle and shotgun that wasn’t being manufactured
or imported in the years covered by the reference books Sen. Feinstein’s
staff consulted. That means an unknown number of absolutely
conventional semi-auto rifles and shotguns, many of them out of
production for decades, would be banned under the draft bill.
To be introduced this week.
