I guess, I mean I didn't think it would actually have any effect in the first place. Maybe I'm still getting this mixed up with a bill that would ban civilians from owning automatic military grade weapons, which I think is already illegal anyway.

It is not illegal for civilians to own Automatic or any other NFA weapons if they have a class III license, which is very very hard to get, and an automatic rifle can cost as much as a car. This ban would affect many popular semi-auto rifles like the AR-15, AK47, etc.
-
That's not entirely true. A Class III SOT is for Type I or Type II FFLs who engage in business with government agencies. You don't need one to own NFA weapons.
-
well, there is also class 2 for the type 7 who can manufactures and also hold a type 1 at the same time.
-
Oh, so what were the details of the bill that would hinder the semi-automatic rifles?
-
They would be outright banned. You wouldn't be allow to buy, sell, or trade almost all semi-automatics with "military style" features like pistol grips, detachable mags, etc.
-
It banned 147 firearms by name, and other through cosmetic features of the firearms, and it also included many types of pistols and shotguns.
-
Didn't it specifically exempt like 2 thousand of them though?
-
And did those cosmetic features increase the killing power of said weapons? By killing power, I mean did those features make the weapon fire at a higher rate, increase the impact power of the bullet, or give the gun owner an outrageous advantage over anyone else who could own a gun?
-
No. Do you know what cosmetic means?
-
Exactly.
-
So you agree it's a worthless bill, right?
-
A little bit. I think about other things that should be going on instead of focusing on the object and the cosmetics, the primary goal should be to figure out how the hell we prevent [i]some[/i] violence from happening.
-
How about focus on trying to get people to have a sense of right and wrong again? Give people morals again. Try to get people to have a damn conscience again. Stop exposing people to violence and aggression. Maybe they'll stop becoming immune to death.

See, this guy's got the right idea.
