Word is that there is a plan to try by legislation a new AWB. This time, "assault weapon" will have a more encompassing definition. The one I heard is a little frightening...a centerfire, semiautomatic firearm capable of holding 10 or more rounds. And it would ban the manufacture, sale, and possession of assault weapons. If true, the legislation would effectively ban all semiautomatic firearms which use a detachable magazine, because all detachable magazine firearms are capable of taking more than 10 rounds. The other thing it would do is destroy a large portion of the small arms industry. I don't imagine Glock and Beretta can survive on .gov contracts alone.
