All gun control laws have unintended consequences. The Brady Bill (limiting new magazines to 10 rounds) resulted in the marketing explosion of "subcompact" and "large caliber" handguns. The Assault Weapon Ban (thanks, Bob Dole) meant everyone had to buy one, or something as irrelevantly close as possible, turning the AR15 & AK47 from also-ran to definitive must-have. Now NRA A+ legislators are prepping a ban on products "increasing rate of fire", a non-sequitur for semi-autos - let's discuss the unintended consequences.

I think the focus on how fast a gun can fire as a vector of regulating it is a very dangerous angle. At some point, does the Ctrl-Left set a specific rate of fire and outlaw the production or ownership of any gun that fires faster than that limit?

There seems to be a lot more vanity posts lately than I recall in years past. What’s with that?

OP - Loose lips.....

ATF needs to deal with this by regulation. It is way to important to leave to Congress.

BTW I never thought I would recommend that the ATF do something other than disband.

Actually this bill may be a good thing if it gets faster development of high rate-of-fire weapon into responsible American hands. This the Militia arming itself now. If we arm fast enough perhaps CW2 won’t happen.

It is a bill introduced. It has had no hearings and is definitely not on any vote calendar

Who knows, I’m guessing not much is going to come out of this. Lots of talk and bluster, and then it’ll go away. The only thing this shooting will have done, is to have delayed the Hearing Protection Act for a year or so. Annoying enough as it is.

On a side note, when you vanity, make sure you give a brief description of stuff, especially if it’s in the title. What does HR3999 say/do; Federal? State? Which state? - not everyone will know already what you’re talking about.
