Text of bill:

SEC. 2. SEMIAUTOMATIC RIFLE WITH CAPACITY TO ACCEPT DETACHABLE MAGAZINE TREATED AS FIREARM UNDER NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT.

(a) In General.—Section 5845(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended—

(1) by striking “; and (8) a destructive device.” and inserting “; (8) a destructive device; and (9) a semiautomatic rifle or shotgun that has the capacity to accept a detachable ammunition feeding device.”, and

Such registration shall become a part of the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record required to be maintained by such section. The prohibition on possession of an unregistered firearm under section 5861 of such Code shall not apply to possession of such a semiautomatic rifle or shotgun that has the capacity to accept such a detachable ammunition feeding device on any date that is 120 days or less after the enactment of this Act.

The Great Gopher seems to always want to out-do everyone else when it comes to signing laws that violate 2A.  While this may not pass the Senate, our state gov is full of dim-ocrats that would love to pick this up and run it through to become a law.

The 1-feature bill has been reintroduced every year for a while. NJ doesn’t even bother with NFA-like registration. They just ban them outright.

They keep talking about a dem President declaring gun violence as a national emergency as a threat, but look what they are doing anyway...

Was listening to Mark Levine the other day.  He explained it well.  I'll paraphrase best I can.

What Trump is doing is Constitutional.  He's using the Emergency Powers Act to enact and support current laws.

If the Dems tried to use the Emergency Power Act to ban semi-auto it would be unconstitutional.  It would violate current laws.

End of paraphrase.  Screw more gun laws.  You can quote me on that.  No need to paraphrase.
