If an "assault weapons ban" goes back into play such as back in the 90s, would the existing owners be ok?
How will this work?
Would it just be no new items on the so called banned list would be for sale?

All depends on what laws if any are pushed through. But was just curious about all the exiting firearms based on example from the past ban

Are you referring to full auto? You can buy a full auto if you have the coin and proper paperwork.

They are not "banned". They are heavily regulated by the NFA act of 1934.

I'm going by the terms they use.

You know. Scary adjustable butt stocks. Pistol grips. High cap magazines. Etc

Like the ban in the 90s. They use the term assault weapons.



This is not a debate about full auto

Not true at all.

I don't think they could ever flat out ban possession of the semi auto AR15. There are too many out there, and it would end up being a political nightmare. Now I do think they could ban the sale of them while having already owned guns grandfathered. Similar to the previous assault weapon ban.

That is what I was thinking as well. Just stop all future sales that may include whatever they decide to ban.

So I guess there will be another buying frenzy if Clinton wins

In the 90s, I think all existing guns were grandfathered. No new production/sales

Now if they try to ban all semi auto weapons, that's a whole other ballgame that will never happen


Are you familiar with the 1994 Assault weapons ban?


As to the OP, more than likely if passed similarly again, you will be good to go. However, they are really making a push for not even grandfathering in like the previous AWB or like a few states are doing, requiring a permit to retain ownership.

It would be very difficult for anyone to track down.
The only information the govt knows from a 4473 is that you bought a "long gun"
That could be anything from a .22 single shot to an AK-47
The model and serial number are filled out on the form, but the feds would have to pull paperwork from every gun dealer in the country to make a database.

Future sales of what ever they decide to ban will stop. That's a Givin. The existing ownership is what is concerning. The AR ownership in the 90s is nothing like it is now.

Yes. The govt does not know what you have for say. But getting pulled over or goin out in public with a so called banned device is a different story

I worry there will be new paper work to fill out for your existing items and money to process those forms. If not filled out then fines if caught. This is what worries me

If you want an "assault weapon" I would definitely get it soon. The longer you wait the higher the prices will be, along with related magazines and ammo.

Speaking of ammo- I've used Golden Tiger ammo on my Yugo NPAP AK47. Are there any brands that are good and less expensive?

I think a few people didn't really understand OP.

Probably

How will this work?

They would probably use the last ban as a blueprint but add on new products such as the stabilizing brace and different ammunitions I would GUESS

quote:

Would it just be no new items on the so called banned list would be for sale

I'm not sure what you mean?

Post-Heller, another AWB will probably not survive challenge in court.

Those incidents resulted in a new state law and a matching Federal law.

It was held up 8-0 post Scalia in Caetano v Massachusetts. No new justice will change that.
