The Most Sweeping Gun Ban Ever Introduced in Congress--Clinton Gun Ban “Reenactment” Bans Millions More Guns

H.R. 2038/S. 1431, introduced by Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.), does not just “reenact” or “reauthorize” the 1994 Clinton Gun Ban--the federal “assault weapon” law. It bans millions more guns and begins backdoor registration of guns.

All told, it`s a giant step closer to the goal stated by Clinton Gun Ban sponsor Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) on CBS 60 Minutes--“If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them, Mr. and Mrs. America, turn them all in, I would have done it.” There is no 10-year sunset provision in H.R.2038/S.1431. It permanently bans every gun banned by the Clinton ban, and:

Bans every gun made to comply with the Clinton ban.

The Clinton ban dictated the kinds of grips, stocks and attachments new guns can have. Manufacturers and gun owners complied and new guns conform to the Clinton- Feinstein requirements. H.R. 2038/S.1431 bans the new guns too.

Bans guns exempted by name or type under the Clinton ban.

Commonplace Ruger Mini 14s, Mini-30s, Ranch Rifles, .30 Caliber Carbines, and fixed-magazine semi-automatic center-fire rifles.

Bans all semi-automatic shotguns.

Bans Remington, Winchester, Beretta, Benelli, and other shotguns commonly used for hunting, trap, skeet, sporting clays, and self-defense. Bans them by banning their main component, called the “receiver” (sec. 2(a)(30)(J)), and bans them because they have “any characteristic that can function as a grip"(sec. 2(H)(ii) and (b)(42)). Any characteristic.

Bans all detachable-magazine semi-automatic rifles because they have “any characteristic that can function as a grip.” sec. 2(a)(30)(D) (iii) and (iv), and (b)(41) and (42)). Any characteristic.

Bans target shooting rifles.

Bans the three centerfire rifles most popular for marksmanship competitions: the Colt AR-15, the Springfield M1A and the M1 “Garand.”
