As California Congressman Henry Waxman promised, he has introduced a Bill to ban the sale of “Parts kits” for “Assault Rifles, Assault Shotguns, and Assault Pistols." This also includes a ban on Receiver blanks.

The Bill defines an “assault weapons parts kit as: “ any part or combination of parts not designed and intended for repair or replacement but designed and intended to enable a consumer who possesses all such necessary parts to assemble a semiautomatic assault weapon…”

Which raised the question of vagueness in the law as to which components of an “Assault Weapons Parts Kits” could be sold legally to repair an existing gun. Would it be a replacement bolt assembly consisting of a number of parts? Or, a stripped bolt? Or, replacement front and rear sights? Or, a grip assembly for say, an HK 91? Or, an upper for an AR15? How about an AR15 lower? Or, you fill in the blank?

This new ban would be enforced by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The Bill also contains new mental health Provisions and does not prohibit a physician or from asking a patient about the ownership, possession, use, or storage of a firearm or ammunition in the home of a patient, speaking to a patient about gun safety, or reporting to the authorities a patient’s threat of violence...

I guess my backpack and gloves are now in danger of being banned by Congress.

My gr gr gr gr grandfather made this 242 years ago.

I made this in 1981.

The point wasn't to make a modern design, but I could, with the same tools.These liberal fools can't even change a lightbulb, they have no clue about how things are made.

Waxman is the ultimate `nerd’s revenge’. Imagine him in high school when the jocks came down the hallway?

The Bill defines an “assault weapons parts kit as: “ any part or combination of parts not designed and intended for repair or replacement but designed and intended to enable a consumer who possesses all such necessary parts to assemble a semiautomatic assault weapon…”

Forgive me, but this suggests that the bill is in actuality banning the possession of semiautomatic assault weapons - given the fact that the "weapons" in question are already semi-automatic.

I kind of like this one made in a California prison about 45 years ago. Even the ammo is prison made.

This new ban would be enforced by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Another agency to add to the defund and abolish list.

>> These liberal fools can’t even change a lightbulb

But they DID change perfectly good incandescent lightbulbs into grotesque, mercury filled monstrosities.

[Nervous Tick]

It’ll get zero traction in the House.

Love it — separated at birth!

[I want the USA back]

They really want to ban all means of self-protection so that the ‘underclass’ can just waltz in and take whatever they want.

These liberal fools can't even change a lightbulb, they have no clue about how things are made.

Sorry, SWAMPSNIPER, but your statement seems to need a slight modification:

These liberal fools can't even change a lightbulb permitted by the feral government, they have no clue about how things are made.

Of course the Proggies will lie and say no one is talking about confiscating guns – they’ve gone past talk to actual confiscation in the Glorious people’s Communist republic of Kalifornia.

I would have thought Waxman would be for anything with “ass” in it’s name...

My family is mentioned in Foxfire 5. Old Hans Jacob raised 14 kids in those mountains. My direct ancestor, his son Benjamin, came to the South Georgia coast in 1798 and we became saltwater hillbillies!

The family that founded Hubbard Hardware in Jacksonville owned a coastal trading sloop, THE TWO SISTERS, ran up and down the coast and as far South as Jamaica. Benjamin worked with them out of St. Mary's Georgia.

All of the first American generation males were tool users, none, that I know of, were horse thieves, LOL

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Looks like they hung him on a coat rack with his nose!

[Chewbarkah]

Can Waxman cite a single case where Parts Kit guns were used in crimes? What motivates these idiots? Somehow, somewhere, someone is free and they just can’t stand it?

[elcid1970]

That nose came from Twilight Zone where the dying rich man requires his greedy heirs to put on masks which when removed leave them disfigured by their own evil natures.

And they all look like Waxman. Google it.

Introducing a bill is one thing, getting it passed is quite another.
