House Democrats’ ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban Prohibits Semiautomatic Pistols Too

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.

House-to-house confiscation will thin-out their ranks quickly.

They sure won’t go into the hood.

They will only try to confiscate them from law-abiding white people.

The anti’s could not achieve their goal in a hundred years, but they might destroy the foundations of our country.

That's been the goal for the past 50-60 years!

Got that right.
Lots of hood weapons they’ll never try to find and confiscate. Apts, stash houses and car trunks full of weapons.
It’d be a slaughterhouse and target practice on the JBTs.

They also don’t understand that “semi-automatic” does not mean a machine gun

He put 8 of 10 discharged on target while advancing towards the threat. There’s a pretty nasty photo of the actor laid-out in the hallway as he was retreating back in the bathrooms after taking the first hits. He never made it there. Damn good shooting and tactical movements.

To hit the target at that range, lots of range time.

Any legislator who votes for this nonsense should lose any and all armed protection they receive.

I would sooner pass my guns out like free candy to Patriots than to ever five them to any form of government.

A double action revolver is a semi-auto too. If this passes just about every modern firearm that is not bolt action will be illegal.
