Assault Weapons Ban of 2013
The legislation bans the sale, transfer, manufacturing and importation of:
1. All semiautomatic rifles that can accept a detachable magazine and have at least one military feature: pistol grip; forward grip; folding, telescoping, or detachable stock; grenade launcher or rocket launcher; barrel shroud; or threaded barrel.
2. All semiautomatic pistols that can accept a detachable magazine and have at least one military feature: threaded barrel; second pistol grip; barrel shroud; capacity to accept a detachable magazine at some location outside of the pistol grip; or semiautomatic version of an automatic firearm.
3. All semiautomatic rifles and handguns that have a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.
4. All semiautomatic shotguns that have a folding, telescoping, or detachable stock; pistol grip; fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 5 rounds; ability to accept a detachable magazine; forward grip; grenade launcher or rocket launcher; or shotgun with a revolving cylinder.
5. All ammunition feeding devices (magazines, strips, and drums) capable of accepting more than 10 rounds.
6. 157 specifically-named firearms (listed at the end of this document).
The legislation excludes the following weapons from the bill:
a. Any weapon that is lawfully possessed at the date of the bill’s enactment;
b. Any firearm manually operated by a bolt, pump, lever or slide action;
c. Assault weapons used by military, law enforcement, and retired law enforcement; and
d. Antique weapons.
The legislation protects hunting and sporting firearms:
i. The bill excludes 2,258 legitimate hunting and sporting rifles and shotguns by specific make and model.
The legislation strengthens the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban and state bans by:
ii. Moving from a 2-characteristic test to a 1-characteristic test.
The bill also makes the ban harder to evade by eliminating the easy-to-remove bayonet mounts and flash suppressors from the characteristics test.
iii. Banning dangerous aftermarket modifications and workarounds.
iv. Bump or slide fire stocks, which are modified stocks that enable semi-automatic weapons to fire at rates similar to fully automatic machine guns.
v. So-called “bullet buttons” that allow the rapid replacement of ammunition magazines, frequently used as a workaround to prohibitions on detachable magazines.
vi. Thumbhole stocks, a type of stock that was created as a workaround to avoid prohibitions on pistol grips.
vii. Adding a ban on the importation of assault weapons and large-capacity magazines.
viii. Eliminating the 10-year sunset that allowed the original federal ban to expire.
The legislation addresses the millions of assault weapons and large-capacity magazines currently in existence by:
i. Requiring a background check on all sales or transfers of a grandfathered assault weapon.
ii. This background check can be run through the FBI or, if a state chooses, initiated with a state agency, as with the existing background check system.
iii. Prohibiting the sale or transfer of large-capacity ammunition feeding devices lawfully possessed on the date of enactment of the bill.
iv. Allowing states and localities to use federal Byrne JAG grant funds to conduct a voluntary buy-back program for grandfathered assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition feeding devices.
v. Imposing a safe storage requirement for grandfathered firearms, to keep them away from prohibited persons.
vi. Requiring that assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition feeding devices manufactured after the date of the bill’s enactment be engraved with the serial number and date of manufacture of the weapon.

If you want to continue to live with constitutional limits on government’s ability to make your life the same as a serf, you better not let them restrict the Second Amendment by bad laws such as this.
Please write, contact or email your federal senators and congressman (even if they are weasel Democrats) and tell them you are against any infringement on the Second Amendment. If you sleep on this issue, there will be a day when you wake up as an enslaved serf with the boot of a government agent on your neck.
Never pass.
Law bans the sale, or TRANSFER of these guns. Does transfer ban mean that you cant will them to your kids and that you have to turn them in when you die?
id say which weapons were blatantly and obviously missing from the list, but if theyre reading this they can f/o
horrible all of it; an unmitigated disaster for liberty and conservatism if any of it passes. better keep fighting.

A bit pricey for single shots, but truly beautiful guns.
Several friends have them in various configurations.

The purpose of Amend II is to prohibit federal infringement or our RKBA.
The Bill of Rights was because the “Conventions of a number of the States; having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added”
DO NOT INFRINGE OR YOU VOID THE CONTRACT - THE CONSTITUTION - AND ARE ILLEGITIMATE.

Ruger calls it a “Handguard Assembly”
That makes it a safety enhancement.
It is on the list because that was a gun I explicitly looked for.
Yes!FU Swinestein!!
In other words, what this boils down to is another
“Assault Weapons Ban” similar to the first one but without an expiration date?
