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.

My XP100 is similar. Had it since 1976, but still a fine weapon, with 3X Burris long eye relief.
That’s a pertinent and relatively unknown piece of US History. Thanks.

Having a barrel is a military feature.

The Mini-14 is on the list this time.
This is good news. difi’s typical overreach has produced a poison pill that no one who is sane will touch.
AFAIC signing onto it is a death sentence.
5. All ammunition feeding devices (magazines, strips, and drums) capable of accepting more than 10 rounds.
I guess I’m supposed to stuff cotton balls into my XDM magazine? Or perhaps cut the grip down to size with a hacksaw so a 10-round mag will work?
DOA. Let’s work on Benghazi, F&F along with all the Green Energy and TARP failures/graft/fraud.
Why not register HIV carriers?They are an actual threat to public safety.The same people who want queer marriage and privacy for disease carriers also want gun control.My grandfather had TB back in the 20’s and got involuntarily confined in a sanitarium and the hell with his family as far as the government was concerned.he has the last laugh and lasted to 93 still smoking and drinking
Don’t bet on it.
They are pushing this because the GOP hasn’t stood up to a single thing Obama has done yet.
And the GOP is still trying to decide if it wants to stay the “conservative” party.
This bill will never make it out of committee. Good luck getting more than a handful of Dems to vote for it. I cannot imagine Dingy Harry ever bringing this to the floor of the Senate for a vote.

I don’t know. In this day of black is white and everything else being upside down in the universe, I don’t trust them for a minute. It’s exactly what we thought about Romney winning, healthcare passing, etc, etc. These Dems are SO evil and SO crafty and sneaky, just do NOT trust the process anymore.
Go count the votes. Start simple, just look at the Senate. The bill is DOA.
Do you really think it will pass a GOP controlled House?
It’s smoke meant to distract you from the bigger issues, like say the deficit or Obama’s spending or ZIRP. Don’t even get me going on murder a la Obama.
“I can’t believe DiFi made the same mistake again. “
I can. She’s a Dimf@#$, and all DimF@#$s are walking, talking, mistake factories looking for a reality to corrupt.
Like Michael Savage or not; he’s dead-nutz accurate about at least ONE thing: LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER.
Gutting the Bill Of Rights without the constitutionally proper repeal of an Amendment is on the face of it unconstitutional.
Legislators so voting take terrible risks.
What was said about Obamacare?
That wasn’t supposed to pass the House either.
Let’s just say the bill as written passes. What happens next?
