    Assault Weapons Ban of 2018

    This bill amends the federal criminal code to make 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.

    Additionally, the bill does not prohibit, 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 legislation amends the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007 to require law enforcement agencies to be notified when a prohibited person attempts to purchase a grandfathered SAW.

    It also amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to allow 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.

    Looks good to me.

    The only amendment I would suggest is every transfer of any firearm must be through a licensed firearm dealer and the purchaser must be checked through the NICS (National Instant Criminal Background Check System).

    I would call that amendment the Closure of the Gun Show Loophole Amendment.

    Read and learn, they want to ban 380 pistols, 9mm pistols, 9mm carbines, 12 ga shotguns...not just the scary black AR15, but if it looks bad, if it sounds bad, if it has evel features like a barrel shroud on shotguns.....

    Democrats lie every time they open their mouth about gun control.....

    They want to ban all firearms....

    Your so ignorant on the subject.....there is no gun show loophole, that's liberal talk for blowing smoke up your ass....

    You go to a gunshow and buy a gun, you have to do the transfer thru a FFL and have to do a background check......Let's see you go to any gunshow in Colorado, anywhere and try and buy a gun without that.....

    Nothing like having to go to a FFL and have a background check down on a rifle I want my daughter to shoot, I could not even give her or the wife a firearm...oh you can't do that, it's illegal...its also illegal to pass them down when you die, let's turn them in and melt them down......

    Ignorant......

    No sir, I am not ignorant of the gun show loophole.

    http://www.governing.com/gov-data/sa...-laws-map.html

    nown as the "gun show loophole," most states do not require background checks for firearms purchased at gun shows from private individuals -- federal law only requires licensed dealers to conduct checks.

    Under the Gun Control Act of 1968, federal law clearly defined private sellers as anyone who sold no more than four firearms per year. But the 1986 Firearm Owners Protection Act lifted that restriction and loosely defined private sellers as people who do not rely on gun sales as the principal way of obtaining their livelihood.

    Some states have opted to go further than federal law by requiring background checks at gun shows for any gun transaction, federal license or not. The majority of these such states require background checks at the point of transfer for all firearms. Alternatively, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, New Jersey and North Carolina regulate purchases by prohibiting private dealers from selling to individuals who do not have licenses/permits, which they obtain following background checks. Some states' requirements are limited only to handgun purchases.

    Even in states that do not require background checks of private vendors, the venue hosting the event may require it as a matter of policy. In other cases, private vendors may opt to have a third-party licensed dealer run a background check even though it may not be required by law.

    Don't like guns, don't buy one . However when at home note the amount of time you have to wait for someone to finally get there to fill out the paperwork on your dead butt since you did not eat to protect yourself.

    The statistics, contained in the department’s fiscal 2005 budget performance report, show that the average response time for the highest-priority calls — Priority 1 — was 8 minutes, 25 seconds in fiscal 2003, up from 7 minutes, 19 seconds in fiscal 2002 and 7 minutes, 47 seconds in fiscal 2001.
    Priority 1 calls are for life-threatening situations, such as armed robberies, assaults and shootings in progress.

    While I will admit that the data is a bit old, I could find no newer data to post.

    Tell me again how a Policeman who is eight minuets away can keep you and yours safe.

    I am currently and will continue to be about a half second away from my own protection.

    And you must have an AR-15 to provide that protection.

    Look up the current statistics on the number of home protection weapons that actually kill an intruder v the number that kill a family member.

    Depends on who you talk to.

    You do not have a right to drive, if the people say your a danger and should not drive, then the peoples safety is more important than your desire to drive.
