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.

Check out the recent SCOTUS decision in “Caetano v Massachusetts”. By a 9-0 vote they ruled that the logic that the Massachusetts state Supreme Court used to deny Caetano the right to own a particular type of weapon was “frivolous” (they used that exact word in the ruling).

It has to get through the Senate before it’s a law though. I doubt that’ll happen.

Like the 94, they’ll just make it illegal to get new stuff and attrition and hoarding will get most of them within 5 years. This stuff seems very likely to pass and it’s going to be bad.

Great picture....

Remember the BLM supporters said uniformed cops look “militaristic”(so send social workers) and Obama saying the surplus vehicles for local police emergency use were too intimidating for the minority neighborhoods to think about.

This Hello Kitty weapon is the antidote.

Calm down. It just passed the Judiciary Committee, not the HOR. Altho I’m pretty sure it’ll pass there, the Senate will be a lot harder to win over. Then there’s the USSC. And I didn’t even mention the voters. It’s clearly unconstitutional.

Between the years 1962 and 1984 the anti-gun radicals claimed they ONLY wanted to register and ban handguns! “Rifles will not be affected!”

Then they found rifles to be a good target as they looked “military.”
Remember that the claim that all military surplus rifles were “evil” began back when JFK was shot. Then the news media screamed bloody murder about “Army Surplus 5 shot bolt action rifles!” till they got the import of them banned in 1968. That lasted till Reagan changed it.
During the “ban” years importers could not import any military surplus rifles, yet they could still import the same rifles from the same manufacturers IF they had only been issued to police forces.

There’s a lot of leftist women out there who could feed a small African village, for 2-3 weeks.
