I agree. Registration is not a requirement in this bill, but that does not mean it wouldn't be introduced in the future.

This "loophole" is intentionally left in the law, as to leave room for "need" for registration in the future. It is also one of the reasons I am very leery about all of the gun trafficking legislation. Since this bill requires transfers of grandfathered firearms to go thru a FFL, failing to do so would make you a gun trafficker, even if you know the person you are transferring to and 100% know they would pass a background check.

^^^^ every bit of this. ^^^^^

Retired police officers are at a greater risk of violence. All those BG's that get sent upriver have a long time to stew over those that they believe put them there (in reality, they put themselves their by their own accord).

so????

I didn't say I agreed with it. A question was asked and I provided an answer. The proper assumption (if this wasn't liberal legislation) would be that we'd all be subject to the same rules. I also believe that the "exceptions" should mean denial to those unfit (felons, etc.) and the masses "shall not be infringed."

I've not looked at the text of the full bill, but it looks like some sites are making their own edits and paraphrasing. This is how I've seen it presented in a multitude of mainstream outlets:

"The legislation excludes the following weapons from the bill:

Any weapon that is lawfully possessed at the date of the bill's enactment;
Any firearm manually operated by a bolt, pump, lever or slide action;
Assault weapons used by military, law enforcement, and retired law enforcement; and
Antique weapons."

This is taken from: http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/24/politics/ ... index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Not trying to start an argument, but there's so much sleight of hand by both sides, gotta keep citations and quotes fair.
