New Gun Control Bill Hits Congress: "To Ensure That The Right To Keep And Bear Arms Is NOT Unlimited"

[ABX]

....While Americans anxiously prepared for their Christmas festivities, anti gun proponents in Congress were hard at work drafting a new bill. If passed H.R. 4269 would literally redefine the Second Amendment as evidenced by the bill’s description, which in no uncertain terms clarifies its ultimate goal:

    “To regulate assault weapons, to ensure that the right to keep and bear arms is not unlimited, and for other purposes.”

The bill directly targets every semi-automatic firearm in the United States including handguns, shotguns and rifles. It specifically mentions certain firearms and manufacturers, including the popular AR-15 and AK-47 rifles.

Because the law is Federal it would blanket the country with new restrictions, including making it illegal to own any magazine that exceeds a capacity of ten (10) rounds.

And here’s the kicker, even if your weapon has a legally-defined low capacity detachable magazine but is modified with any of the following accessories, it is considered an “assault rifle” and would be outright banned in the United States.

    Semiautomatic rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and any 1 of the following:

     

    “(i) A pistol grip.

    “(ii) A forward grip.

    “(iii) A folding, telescoping, or detachable stock.

    “(v) A barrel shroud.

    “(vi) A threaded barrel.

    …

     

    “(B) A semiautomatic rifle that has a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds, except for an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition.

     

    “(C) Any part, combination of parts, component, device, attachment, or accessory that is designed or functions to accelerate the rate of fire of a semiautomatic rifle but not convert the semiautomatic rifle into a machinegun....

The number of Americans killed by weapons covered by this laughably unconstitutional piece of crap bill is so small that the CDC doesn't even keep track of it.  There were fewer than 300 deaths inflicted by rifles and shotguns out of 11,000+ firearms deaths in 2011.

But that doesn't matter to the gun grabbing political class, because their goal is not saving lives; it is disarming the victims.

The ultimate Liberal solypcism. If they pass a gun control law nobody obeys, is it real?

Section 1 of any bill being proposed should contain a description of the problem being addressed in that bill and a description of how the bill will resolve the problem.
This would eliminate most of this crap and make very clear what is a blatant political stunt.
