The Semi-Automatic Rifles That are Banned by the Proposed 2007 United States Gun Ban

This is created to show what semi-automatic rifles would be banned if the 2007 assault rifle ban would be passed. At the time this was created, the bill was stalled in congress. The bill is known as McCarthy's Assault Weapons Ban and Law Enforcement Protection Act of 2007 or H.R. 1022. It is proposed and supported mainly by the Democrats. This bill is similar to the 1994 assault weapons ban, also known as the Clinton gun ban, which expired in 2004. The only difference between the two bills is that the new ban would make millions of more guns illegal. According to the NRA's web site the ban would include all guns banned by the Clinton ban plus the following.

"• Every gun made to comply with the Clinton ban. (The Clinton ban dictated the kinds of grips, stocks and attachments new guns could have. Manufacturers modified new guns to the Clinton requirements. H.R. 1022 would ban the modified guns too.)

• Guns exempted by the Clinton ban. (Ruger Mini-14s and -30s and Ranch Rifles; .30 cal. carbines; and fixed-magazine, semi-automatic, center-fire rifles that hold more than 10 rounds.)

• All semi-automatic shotguns. (E.g., Remington, Winchester, Beretta and Benelli, used for hunting, sport shooting, and self-defense. H.R. 1022 would ban them because they have “any characteristic that can function as a grip,” and would also ban their main component, called the “receiver.”)

• All detachable-magazine semi-automatic rifles-including, for example, the ubiquitous Ruger 10/22 .22 rimfire-because they have “any characteristic that can function as a grip.”

• Target shooting rifles. (E.g., the three centerfire rifles most popular for marksmanship competitions: the Colt AR-15, the Springfield M1A and the M1 “Garand.”)

• Any semi-automatic shotgun or rifle an Attorney General one day claims isn’t “sporting,” even though the constitutions of the U.S. and 44 states, and the laws of all 50 states, recognize the right to use guns for defense.

• 65 named guns (the Clinton law banned 19 by name); semi-auto fixed-magazine pistols of over 10 rounds capacity; and frames, receivers and parts used to repair or refurbish guns.

H.R. 1022 would also ban the importation of magazines exempted by the Clinton ban, ban the sale of a legally-owned “assault weapon” with a magazine of over 10 rounds capacity, and begin backdoor registration of guns, by requiring private sales of banned guns, frames, receivers and parts to be conducted through licensed dealers. Finally, whereas the Clinton Gun Ban was imposed for a 10-year trial period, H.R. 1022 would be a permanent ban."

You say that records show that I bought guns, well someone must have used false ID to purchase them, because it wasn't me, officer. Oh, I was on all those gun forums just to make me feel like a big shot, you know, just mouthing off, being in the crowd so to speak. I'll be sure to let you know if I see or hear of anyone with guns. Have a nice day, officer".
