As I understand it, several "poison pill" amendments have been tacked on, including a functional ban on centerfire rifle ammunition.
--what's your source for this?
No, that was last year and a different Bill.
This time there are no poison pills attached - like Kennedy's "Cop Killer Bullet" baloney last year. The rats did try though but the amendments went down in flames. Ergo, so far its a clean bill. (operative words being "so far")
