It will make it illegal to own a firearm unless it is registered with the database in Washington D.C. As a gun owner you will have to be finger printed, you will be required to provide your DL#, SS#, you must maintain a valid address at all times, submit to mental amd physical health records being put on file, you will also be required to file any address changes and you must report any ownership changes even if private sale.

Well not *all* firearms, just all handguns, and all semiautomatic firearms with removable magazines. You would have to go through a dealer to any firearm, and I suspect they would be keeping records of the instant background check, even if the law doesn't change the "destroy after approval" provision of the current Brady Act, although I don't recall if it does or not.

Other than my pump shotguns, I only have one gun that probably would not be covered by the licensing provisions, an SKS. Eric Holder might very well rule that since it's magazine *can* be removed by pushing out a pin, and there are magazines that purport to be "removable" available for it, that even the SKS is covered. All three handguns are doublely "qualified", that is fitting both criteria. All three rifles do as well. (Even though one of each is a .22 rimfire, there are no exceptions for those). Unfortunately I only have two completely off the books firearms, from private party sales, both of which would be "qualified" under this bill.

Try again. Your SKS won’t even get the chance to have its number of evil ergonomic attachments assessed; it’ll be listed by name.

If you don’t believe me come visit Hussein’s own Crook County. They took the federal ban and “enhanced” it by adding every gun they could think of by name. The SKS makes the list.

They also replaced the “more than two of the following features” with “ONE or more” to make sure they captured every semi possible.
