NRA found an interesting tidbit — Obama, Assault weapons
Just an FYI… if you look at this PDF of the change.gov website from Nov 7th, there is a very clear statement that the incoming administration is looking to make the expired assault weapon ban permanent…
Interestingly, change.gov, under agenda, no longer has specific details. Perhaps revisiting?
Anyway, if you live outside of CA, I suggest you start stockpiling your >10 rd magazines in addition to your various AR accessories.
If you live in CA (and out), I recommend you pick up any rifles you want now… “assault rifle” is a funny term… last time it referred to AR type rifles. Next time it will probably include any center-fire semi-auto rifle. Remember this quote from the 2007 failed HR 1022?
(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 enfocement agency is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes solely because the firearm is suitable for use in a sporting event.
