Assault Weapons Ban 2019

Senators Introduce Assault Weapons Ban
https://www.feinstein.senate.gov/pub...D-C577212ED17B

Quote:

Key provisions: Bans the sale, manufacture, transfer and importation of 205 military-style assault weapons by name. Owners may keep existing weapons. Bans any assault weapon that accepts a detachable ammunition magazine and has one or more military characteristics including a pistol grip, a forward grip, a barrel shroud, a threaded barrel or a folding or telescoping stock. Owners may keep existing weapons. Bans magazines and other ammunition feeding devices that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition, which allow shooters to quickly fire many rounds without needing to reload. Owners may keep existing magazines.

I heard that the assault weapon dies with the owner though. Other provisions on the webpage seem to oppose this claim.

Quote:

Bans stocks that are “otherwise foldable or adjustable in a manner that operates to reduce the length, size, or any other dimension, or otherwise enhances the concealability of a firearm.”

I have an ar-15 with an adjustable stock; I don't consider it to be very enhancing at all.

Quote:

Bans assault pistols that weigh 50 or more ounces when unloaded, a policy included in the original 1994 ban.

I'm not sure why this was ever a thing. Think the Desert Eagle handguns in 44 magnum or 50 AE. Hardly anyone really wants to drag these things around to commit violent crimes with.

Quote:

Bans assault pistol stabilizing braces that transform assault pistols into assault rifles by allowing the shooter to shoulder the weapon and fire more accurately.

Those Sig arm braces really aren't a problem.

Quote:

Bans Thordsen-type grips and stocks that are designed to evade a ban on assault weapons.

This replaces certain AR style pistol grip stocks with one that lacks an actual pistol grip. https://www.thordsencustoms.com/frs-...-kit-od-green/ What's next, banning any solid projectile because it evades a ban on lead?

There is no actual bill number or test available right now.
