Feinstein to introduce AWB renewal tomorrow

Another is the light triggers. The lighter triggers are on "hunting" bolt-action rifles, military-pattern guns triggers are hard to even MODIFY to be better than appalling. (Okay, there are some okay aftermarket AR triggers; but AKs are a lost cause - good triggers are not an inherent feature of scary looking rifles).

I am truly uncertain as to whether or not the information they present comes from lack of knowledge, or is deliberate. I know, portraying them as evil would support the latter; but who could lie and misinform THAT much?

The same people who have learned how easy it is to get away with.

Yes, they're evil.

I called my representative, , and voiced my opinion on the HR2038. I found out that Democrat actually does not support this.

Now if he votes for it, if it makes it to the floor, I will be pissed. But until then, everything looks good here!

assault machine gun tec-9 clips blah blah light triggers blah two hands blah blah kill everything within a twenty mile radius blah nuclear-tipped twenty megaton bullets blah blah blah terrorist

This makes me wonder. Are these people really this ignorant, or do they know exactly what they're saying - and say it anyway, knowing the average voter will take it as gospel?

For anyone who doesn't know (or suffer under) the PRK's "Assault Weapon" ban the only semi-auto rifles permitted to be purchased here over .22 cal are [short list omitted]

There are three different so-called assault weapon categories here, the one that lists a bunch by name (eg Colt AR15), the one that extends that to cover all ARs and AKs, and the latest one which covers cosmetic details. These details are:

“assault weapon†shall also mean the following:
Rifles
(1) A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and any one of
the following:
(A) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon.
(B) A thumbhole stock.
(C) A folding or telescoping stock.
(D) A grenade launcher or flare launcher.
(E) A flash suppressor.
(F) A forward pistol grip.
(2) A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10
rounds.
(3) A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has an overall length of less than 30 inches.
Note: Bayonets and bayonet lugs are not assault weapon characteristics under California law.
Pistols
(4) A semiautomatic pistol that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and any one of the fol-lowing:
(A) A threaded barrel, capable of accepting a flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer.
(B) A second handgrip.
(C) A shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel that allows the bearer to
fire the weapon without burning his or her hand, except a slide that encloses the barrel.
(D) The capacity to accept a detachable magazine at some location outside of the pistol grip.
(5) A semiautomatic pistol with a fixed magazine that has the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.
Shotguns
(6) A semiautomatic shotgun that has both of the following:
(A) A folding or telescoping stock.
(B) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon, thumbhole stock, or
vertical handgrip.
(7) A semiautomatic shotgun that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine.
(8) Any shotgun with a revolving cylinder.

Any semi-auto rifle not on that list is still legal. Pretty much all hunting-style rifles are legal.
