    I didn't watch the video but, in it's current makeup, pretty much every hair brained Democrat policy will pass the House.
    It's a pretty comprehensive bill. Probably too comprehensive to pass. It covers everything from AKs to ARs to shotguns to handguns and magazines and even 22lr. Kits and parts used to assemble them are mentioned.

    I can see this bill passing the democrat controlled House, but won't get past the Senate without some changes.

    Here is the Readers Digest version:

    Shown Here:
    Introduced in House (02/15/2019)

    Assault Weapons Ban of 2019

    This bill makes it a crime to knowingly import, sell, manufacture, transfer, or possess a semiautomatic assault weapon (SAW) or large capacity ammunition feeding device (LCAFD).

    The prohibition does not apply to a firearm that is (1) manually operated by bolt, pump, lever, or slide action; (2) permanently inoperable; (3) an antique; or (4) a rifle or shotgun specifically identified by make and model.

    The bill also exempts from the prohibition the following, with respect to a SAW or LCAFD:

    • importation, sale, manufacture, transfer, or possession related to certain law enforcement efforts, or authorized tests or experiments;
    • importation, sale, transfer, or possession related to securing nuclear materials; and
    • possession by a retired law enforcement officer.
    The bill permits continued possession, sale, or transfer of a grandfathered SAW, which must be securely stored. A licensed gun dealer must conduct a background check prior to the sale or transfer of a grandfathered SAW between private parties.

    The bill permits continued possession of, but prohibits sale or transfer of, a grandfathered LCAFD.

    Newly manufactured LCAFDs must display serial number identification. Newly manufactured SAWs and LCAFDs must display the date of manufacture.

    The bill requires law enforcement agencies to be notified when a prohibited person attempts to purchase a grandfathered SAW.

    It also allows a state or local government to use Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program funds to compensate individuals who surrender a SAW or LCAFD under a buy-back program

    So, under this bill if it becomes law, you could sell a grandfathered SAW but not allowed to sell the magazine that goes with it?

    “The bill permits continued possession of, but prohibits sale or transfer of, a grandfathered LCAFD.”

    They knew they'd have to "give" a little to have any hope of traction with how overreaching this bill is. It's a huge step in creating their "government class" and "citizen class" division of weaponry. They get guns, we get rocks.

    If passed, this bill marches us right to the brink of what the Constitution aimed to prevent.

    Yes, at least that's how I read it. The sale or transfer of a SAW would have to go through an FFL. Magazines produced after the ban would have to be date stamped. That part doesn't make sense to me. What legitimate company would manufacture illegal mags after the ban anyway?
