You'll notice that it bans all semi-auto shotguns that have a pistol grip (AKA every home defense shotgun). You'll also notice they're going after some semi-auto pistols just for how they look.

Update 2:
UPDATE 3:
UPDATE 4:
That strikes a chord...Recently a couple of these incidents in the US have happened with some government agency just around the corner somewhere coincidentally gaming/training on the exact scenerio that occurs...the same as the London bus bombings...
This stupid bill won’t get through the Senate, much less the House. Its purpose is to distract from the debt limit fight.
Obama’s treasury department is so bent on theft and corruption that they refuse to estimate how much debt will be owed in three months, so a limited debt ceiling hike can not be passed. Rather the House will pass an unlimited debt ceiling hike that runs out ‘by date certain’. That lets the regime run up debts without limit for three months. Then they will refuse to report how much debt there is, and so the debt limit won’t matter.
An olympic shooter turned in his guns in Nazi Germany. That wasn’t enough. He was Jewish, and was picked up, and killed in the concentration camps.
That you once had a gun is enough. You don’t get absolution by turning in your guns. You have the mark of Cain that you were once a person who was self reliant and free. They have you on their list.

I’m so glad I stocked up and ‘got mine’ 3 - 4 years ago. Watching this ‘rat race’ with all shelves being picked clean saddens me in a way....but it somewhat encouraging in another. Just hate seeing the prices on everything going into orbit.
I can’t wait until this bullshit fails to pass through Congress, and everyone calms down! (I doubt the pricing on ‘black rifles’ and mags will ever return to the prices they were at a year ago)
Detroit is coming back. They have hit bottom and are on the way back up.
It is a Mossberg. A Mossberg 590, with heat shield. The stock was too long for her, so I replaced it with a telescoping stock that has a pistol grip. Easy to adjust to different people. So now it’ll be in violation of the laws, because it has several combined features of a “military” weapon. Despite the fact it fires the same way as shotguns without the “special” features. Damn politicians.
I agree, they’ll use that approach and it WILL work on all but the hard cases. Taking over insurance is the quickest way to take over. Switch “Liberty” for “Liability” as the operative word in America.
And sadly, I believe people will accept it. Nobody wants to make any sacrifices, though many bloviate about armed resistance (the odds of an opportunity arising being infinitesimally low).
In Revolutionary days, a good percentage of the people prized liberty enough to risk all. Today, tell the average citizen he might have to pay more for mandatory services that used to be optional, and he becomes a quivering mass of jelly, defenseless, impotent, cowardly.
Hussein is smart and he knows he can't walk in and get your guns. But, he can make it so you will give them up.
Remember, one of his executive actions is to tell doctors they can ask you if you have a gun at home and if you have children there or older people there, and the doctors are supposed to report that. Then, Hussein knows you have guns and it's dangerous with those children and/or old people there and your medical insurance goes double in payment - or give up the guns.
He has already put in his healthplan to start next year, that if you smoke, your insurance cost will double. He has the power to write insurance regulations and he's got the whole country in his hand.
When I read about the cigarette smoking and already knew doctors were supposed to ask about guns, I knew he would do it this way and get away with it.
“Jessie Duff, a world champion shooter”. Easy on the eyes, too.
“Good luck with trying to enforce that. And to all of the hand wringing panty waists here who would comply with tyrannical decree, I say:
Inside of two months, the AMERICAN people bought up enough guns and ammunition to outfit the entire chinese and indian armies! On top of whatever else is already out there!
If you want to try to confiscate it, come and try to take it. You are out manned and outgunned. And hopefully you will realize that all of your police departments and military bases and infrastructure reside in our backyard. Ignore the Constitution and go up against the home team at your own peril.”
