I would deal. In return define an assault weapon as any semi that has a 10+ round mag, otherwise they are legal. Thus all weapons in the original AWB will all be legal if the owner uses a 10 round mag. No longer illegal to have folding stock, bayonet lugs, flash suppressors, etc, etc, just center on one feature the mag inserted into the weapon. Otherwise Uzi, MAC-10, etc which were banned in the past now can be legal. Exempt will be fixed tube mags and fixed mags like SKS semi’s. Otherwise nuts to the deal.

AND add in that all 10+ mags preowned are grandfathered!
Why should there be any “deal?” All those weapons are legal now. Gungrabbing is a political loser all across the country.
Rolling over to any gun ban or mag ban is BS. The GOP controls the house and in the senate has enough votes to block cloture.
Lautenburg can propose a bill saying his farts smell like roses and it is just as likely to pass.
He's not only talking Long Guns but Handguns too. And scores of Handguns now come standard made for 'high capacity' magazines. And they're made only to accept these mags as the grip is longer. A 10 Round Mag wouldn't even work.
They're in every caliber from 9mm to .40 S&W (can't recall seeing .45ACP but they maybe made too). So his Bill is also a HUGH job killer. Not exactly what we need now. (or ever)
