Actually the other thread does not go into detail on this. I read the bill but never saw a definition of what a qualifying firearm is. Did I miss it or is it just not there?
SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.
(a) In General- In this Act:
(1) FIREARM; LICENSED DEALER; LICENSED MANUFACTURER; STATE- The terms `firearm', `licensed dealer', `licensed manufacturer', and `State' have the meanings given those terms in section 921(a) of title 18, United States Code.
(2) QUALIFYING FIREARM- The term `qualifying firearm' has the meaning given the term in section 921(a) of title 18, United States Code, as amended by subsection (b) of this section.
(b) Amendment to Title 18, United States Code- Section 921(a) of title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:
`(36) The term `qualifying firearm'--
`(A) means--
`(i) any handgun; or
`(ii) any semiautomatic firearm that can accept any detachable ammunition feeding device; and
`(B) does not include any antique.'.
It would make it illegal for you to own guns you already own unless you play their game, get their licenses, and subject yourself to constant scrutiny and even inspections.
Also, if you fail to report the theft of a firearm within 72 hours, or if a bureaucrat fails to process your report of such, you would be sent to prison for five years.
It is war on law-abiding firearms owners, pure and simple. No other description for it.
And:
SEC. 801. INAPPLICABILITY TO GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES.
This Act and the amendments made by this Act shall not apply to any department or agency of the United States, of a State, or of a political subdivision of a State, or to any official conduct of any officer or employee of such a department or agency.
If you read that, you see why people are saying "If they try to pass that, that's The Line."
NRA-ILA seems to be asleep at the wheel on it, though.
