I am sending letters, but to be honest I don't think my reps give a damn what I think. They are probably sick of hearing from me, but I am going to stay the course.

I like how the presumption is that a firearm originally designed or bought for military use is not suitable for sporting use and "a firearm shall not be determined to be particularly suitable for sporting purposes solely because the firearm is suitable for use in a sporting event". The fact that it is suitable for a sporting event isn't proof that it is suitable for sporting purposes , these guys must have studied Orwell very closely.`(30) The term `semiautomatic assault weapon' means any of the following:...
`(L) A semiautomatic rifle or shotgun originally designed for military or law enforcement use, or a firearm based on the design of such a firearm, that is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, as determined by the Attorney General. In making the determination, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that a firearm procured for use by the United States military or any Federal law enforcement agency is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, and a firearm shall not be determined to be particularly suitable for sporting purposes solely because the firearm is suitable for use in a sporting event.'.
Are any of these above twits Republicans?

For some of us who have health conditions that don't allow us to be able to handle the higher recoil of a pump shotgun this is our most effective home defense option.
I was thinking this at first as well (military designs?- Mauser, Mosin-Nagants, M1917s, many blackpowders, etc) but then I looked more carefully- it "only" effects semi-automatics. I at first thought similarly about the handgun restriction ("capable of holding more than 10 rounds"- hey any autoloader w/ aftermarket mags could have mags made that hold over 10 rounds- then I noticed that it was fixed mag handguns only). So this particular legislation, while horrible, doesn't quite go that far. Of course the next one might.The clause about a design similar to a military one will allow the attorney general (a democratic one in 5 years say) to ban every firearm in existance at his discretion even Muzzle loaders!!!!.
