Pro-rights and anti-rights attention has been focused on
the tremendous list of guns that would be banned under Feinstein's bill,
which takes up a significant portion of the 122 pages of this proposal.
Here's the problem none of the "news" reports have spotted:
- The list of guns doesn't matter.
- Magazine size doesn't matter.
- If the semi-auto firearm has anything to grip it by, it is banned.
- It's very clever actually.
According
to the bill, any semiautomatic firearm that uses a magazine -- handgun,
rifle or shotgun -- equipped with a "pistol grip," would be banned.
That sounds like a limitation, but it is not.
A pistol
grip (on page 2) is defined (on page 13) as "a grip, a thumb-hole
stock, or any other characteristic that can function as a grip." In
other words, the gun list does not matter. It is a smokescreen designed
to distract people from the true meaning of the bill. And it has done a
magnificent job. It worked!
Any semi-automatic firearm
that exists, with anything on it you can grip, is banned. (There is a
grandfather clause for old stuff.)
The list is
meaningless tripe. It is camouflage for the real purpose of the bill.
When the president said he is not going to take away your guns, well,
Feinstein's bill puts the lie to that.
Magazine size
does not matter. Brand name does not matter. It doesn't matter if it's
black. If you can grip it, it's banned under this bill.
