I saw this on another hunting/gun forum and posted it on here.

All the talking heads are having a field day. The President has announced he will take action.

This is what I think will happen:

The President will add all semi-automatic firearms, with a capacity of more than ten rounds, and/or detachable magazines, to the NFA destructive device list.

Transfers of these firearms would be subject to the same rules/laws.

I think he will include handguns, as he has stated that he believes these handguns are responsible for the majority of the inner city violence.

I think he will make this retroactive, meaning you will have to register each one of your firearms that fall under the above description. You will have to pay the $5 tax on each firearm as well.

Since it is not a ban, there will be no question as to it's Constitutionality.

This is what Clinton did with the Street Sweeper shotguns in '91, IIRC.

I'm not sure if he would exclude rimfire firearms.

I know they will not do anything to just AR's, they tried that before and it didn't work.

Something else to remember.

The Second Amendment does NOT cover ammo, hunting and handloading. All of these are open to what ever they can do to them and not have to go though Congress.

Say they can slip a "hazmat fee" on all ammo. If they wanted to they could easy put a hazmat fee of $20 per box of 50 rounds of 22 lr ammo, $50 per box of 30-06 hunting ammo, $10 per box of primers, $50 per box of power. It wooudn't take long for most people to just quit buying any kind of ammo or reloading supplies. They do not need Congress for that.


This would avoid Congress, and let democratic leaders off of the hook. He won't be seeking re-election, so it won't affect his future career.

He could do this tomorrow, with no debate.
