Guess again Sport ! Part of the definition of an "assualt weapon " is any firearm that was ever used by the armed forces or law enforcement are not suitable for sporting purposes & may NOT be declared suitable for sporting purposes. All those springfield 1903's & 30-40 Krag Jorgensons,as well as modern replica's of weapons like Remington rolling block ,Trapdoor Springfield ,Colt .45 SAA ,Colt .45 automatic these assholes want a civil war.A

Not quite, that only applies, as I read it, to semiautomatic rifles and shotguns, not other action types and not handguns. Here's the actual language in the bill:

`(L) A semiautomatic rifle or shotgun originally designed for military or law enforcement use, or a firearm based on the design of such a firearm, that is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, as determined by the Attorney General. In making the determination, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that a firearm procured for use by the United States military or any Federal law enforcement agency is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, and a firearm shall not be determined to be particularly suitable for sporting purposes solely because the firearm is suitable for use in a sporting event.'.

But let's not give them any ideas, they have enough of their own. They learn too, many of the provisions of this bill are designed to plug the "loopholes" which allowed "neutered" versions of AR-15s, AK-47 (semiautos) and so forth to continue to be sold. Not this time.

If you believe that the rats won't try to ban firearms like tha M1911A1 .45auto or the Colt SAA or the winchester,remington,browning shotguns on account of what a clause of a sub-paragraph in a gun ban bill states that is open to interpratation go right ahead .

I will default to the wost case scenario as it has proven over the decades to be the prudent thing to do.
