House Democrats’ ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban Prohibits Semiautomatic Pistols Too
townhall.com ^ | 7/23/2022 | AWR Hawkins

The “assault weapons” ban legislation that passed the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday not only prohibits AR-15s and AK-47s, but numerous semiautomatic pistols and shotguns as well.

The legislation, H.R. 1808, is sponsored by Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI).

On July 15, 2022, Breitbart News warned that H.R. 1808 bans the manufacture and sale of at least 45 specific AR-15 rifles , including, “Bushmaster ACR, Bushmaster Carbon 15, Bushmaster MOE series, Bushmaster XM15, Chiappa Firearms MFour rifles, Colt Match Target rifles, CORE Rifle Systems CORE15 rifles, Daniel Defense M4A1 rifles, Devil Dog Arms 15 Series rifles,” as well as the Diamondback DB15 rifles.

Moreover, it bans the manufacture and sale of all AR-pistols, and thirteen are specifically listed: “American Spirit AR–15 pistol, Bushmaster Carbon 15 pistol, Chiappa Firearms M4 Pistol GEN II, CORE Rifle Systems CORE15 Roscoe pistol, Daniel Defense MK18 pistol, DoubleStar Corporation AR pistol, DPMS AR–15 pistol, Jesse James Nomad AR–15 pistol, Olympic Arms AR–15 pistol, Osprey Armament MK–18 pistol, POF USA AR pistols, Rock River Arms LAR 15 pistol,” and the “Uselton Arms Air-Lite M–4 pistol.”

But the language of H.R. 1808 also makes clear the legislation bans numerous semiautomatic pistols as well.

The ban applies to semiautomatic pistols with detachable magazines and threaded barrels. Because of the popularity of suppressors for hearing protection, nearly every semiautomatic pistol manufacturer makes pistol models with threaded barrels. This means an untold number of semiautomatic pistols would be banned by H.R. 1808.

Also, any semiautomatic pistol with a fixed magazine capable of holding more than ten rounds would be banned, as would any semiautomatic shotgun with a fixed magazine holding more than five rounds.

H.R. 1808 also bans semiautomatic shotguns that accept detachable magazines and have a pistol grip.

Just picking up on the original NFA-34 intent.
Few now know or care that the original NFA-34 intended to ban civilian hand-guns.
Self interest of legislators not wanting to have to give up THEIR OWN pistols got it amended.

You can look up a LOT of the history surrounding the NFA-34 and BATFE’s criminal past here, http://www.nfaoa.org

No longer interactive but still a great reference library for research.

Banning liberals would solve all of America’s problems.

Quite the contrary. I eagerly look forward to it. YUM!

The legal threat will cease sales to private citizens. That is enough for them. Although I doubt after Bruen this will last 15 minutes before a "nationwide injunction" against it goes into effect.

This will not end like they think it will .... 400 million weapons cannot be collected even if you ‘cease’ the ability to buy. Push us more ... we push back. Hard.

Near as I can tell, revolvers should qualify as semiauto pistols, making the first semiauto pistol date from around 1840 or thereabouts....
