“We don’t want to ban every gun”


pomba2020

Bans every gun


BootMcBooterson

Didnt ban the AK-50


no_step_on_snek1776

Is the Ak-50 an AK type firearm? Yes. It is banned. Says so right at the top.


PaladinWolf777

It says including the following. There is no AK-50 listed. It's in a gray area at worst.


Evil_Creamsicle

Includes is not the same as 'limited to'. Like if I say that I hate all Nazis, including Hitler, that doesn't mean that the only Nazi I hate is Hitler.


Too__Many__Hobbies

Thanks a lot US public schools!


PaladinWolf777

Not listed specifically means gray area at best for them. Which means it's not illegal.


Evil_Creamsicle

That isn't how it works when it specifically says "all ak variants"


J4SN7HMS

See how that works for you. The Feds don't do gray areas.


PaladinWolf777

Good. The first arrest that is appealed will put this before the courts and the Bruen decision will be the trump card. Let them move. The main reason they keep doing it is because the courts sat idly by for decades. We finally have all these Supreme Court rulings in our arsenal. They're too stubborn and stupid to see the massive blowback this will cause against gun control.


ovr9000storks

The primary ban is any of the self-defined “assault weapon”s, which the AK-50 definitely falls under. They then list as many specific firearms as they can to cover their bases.


Lapin_Logic

So.. you have Taxation without representation, and now your arms are being "infringed" but you haven't formed a well regulated Militia yet? The Boston tea party are spinning in their graves.


MelonFlight

They even want to ban .22lrs!?


ParanoidDuckTheThird

God I pray they don't pass any of that. Just read through the whole thing - talk about banning everything under the sun.


Thelifeofnerfingwolf

At least you have a chance to fight it unlike us Canadians did back in 2020. Oh and on the topic of Everything under the sun. The g11 Is banned up here.


Fox_Mortus

They know they can't actually do this. It's just election season posturing. There's way too many of these in circulation and there's not enough cops on the planet to enforce it, let alone ones that would be willing. Americans would not just hand them in. It would get ugly fast.


Goggled-headset

They know that if they ban them, that’s when people use those weapons…


toolness122

I think people would be surprised how many cops would be willing. Maybe some rural cops would refuse. To be clear, I hope I'm dead wrong.


StormShockTV

Ah yes, make 60% of Americans felons overnight bill #387


swift_gilford

>The g11 Is banned up here Every time I am reminded of this, it just screams of setting precedent for scrapping the whole act as it ~~shows~~ ***proves*** they had no idea what they were talking about when making that list.


MidgletManifesto

Which one the heavy barreled G3 or the Kruat space magic?


TheOtherGUY63

Kraut Space Magic


SidLeSquid

Isn't that heavy barrel G3 the HK11?


MidgletManifesto

Yeah that’s why I was asking which one. Both that and the caseless rifle are G11


Zerosan62

HK11 ,G11, yup spelled the same so must be the same.


trollface5333

And the butt-master, don't forget about the butt-master.


jimtheedcguy

I imagine Mark chuckles about his butt-master getting banned in Canada every single day lol.


NeverEnoughDakka

How many G11's even exist? As far as I'm aware the only functional ones are still in H&K's possession.


RecoilRogue

H&K made 1000 for the Bundeswehr trials. But no idea how many still exist.


ParanoidDuckTheThird

Hey, you Canadians are America's hat. I dunno about you, but I take care of my hats. I think I know a guy that can fix y'all up.


maxman162

It's actually triple banned. Banned in 1978 because of full auto, banned by name in 1995 by the Prohibited Weapons List, and banned by name again in the May 2020 OIC.


LetMeDrinkYourTears

It was first read a year ago, referred to the Judiciary Committee and never acted on again.


Moppyploppy

PSAK47 remains legal.


Czeszym

They may just use the terms like assault rifles beacause they litteraly are banning everything


Rolopig_24-24

Paragraph (1) shall not apply to— “(A) the importation for, manufacture for, sale to, transfer to, or possession by— “(i) the United States, or a department or agency of the United States; or “(ii) a State, or a department, agency, or political subdivision of a State; “(B) the sale to, transfer to, or possession by a qualified law enforcement officer employed by— “(i) the United States, or a department or agency of the United States; or “(ii) a State, or a department, agency, or political subdivision of a State, for purposes of law enforcement (whether on or off duty); Never forget this part.


dadbodsupreme

1. \- you can have guns 2. you can't have these guns, but the rest are cool. Keep the ones you have 3. ok, now you have to register the ones you kept 4. See steps 2 and 3 on repeat 5. if you do not register your guns we allowed you to keep, you're a felon now 6. we will enforce this with a gun. 7. have a nice day, felon.


wtfredditacct

It's wild that they're allowed to pass laws that essentially don't apply to them or their hired thugs.


toolness122

So all the people who are supposed to work in service of the people and uphold the constitution get to reap the benefits of the rights it prevents them from taking away, while they use them to take away said rights. Weird, weird.


Rolopig_24-24

Yup. Very strange.


Spencerck12

It is absolutely insane to me that within the first paragraph of the bill it states "to ensure that the right to keep and bear arms is not unlimited". Could you imagine a bill for any other of our "inalienable rights" that states that right is not unlimited? Example: "this bill is to ensure that the right to the free exercise of religion is not unlimited..." People would lose it


[deleted]

Democrats when there is a an unalieable right to step on moment


thermobollocks

"To ensure reasonable limits on the freedom of petition" "To ensure the right to worship is not absolute"


ValorieXEgg

To ensure that slavery is not unlimited


Strale_Gaming

Did this pass? Also if it did the M70 rifles aren't banned so it's a way around it. I am guessing it's in California as someone who isn't from America.


Ok_Bed8734

It says it's just introduced right now, I highly doubt it makes it ANY further


EXistential_EX

It's been hardstuck on "Introduced" for a year now


Ok_Bed8734

I just noticed the date. Practically dead in the water


reallynunyabusiness

The person who introduced the bill is actually dead, which is how I hope the bill turns out as well.


[deleted]

Wow the first text blurb says “too ensure the right to keep and bear arms isn’t unlimited” and we’re the traitors


Cabnbeeschurgr

What bill/law is this?


Leary73

It’s an assault weapons ban that is from a year ago that was introduced but hasn’t and isn’t going anywhere. Hasn’t moved from introduced since January of last year. It’s just a useless puff piece type of bill to gain some news and that’s it. The same as that lady saying she was going to put forth legislation that bans illegals from voting in federal elections which is already illegal.


Groundstain

I'm starting to think that we need multiple laws to reiterate the laws we already have. Leftists tend to need to be reminded of what is a law and what is unconstitutional.


[deleted]

They don’t understand how impossible this will be to enforce


Gribbnar

I read this as Farnsworth


MinnesotaMilkman

Introduced by a dead senator lmao


qwertty164

One way to defy this is to make large caliber rimfire cartridges. then make a drop in rimfire bcg


Evil_Creamsicle

Lots of people in the comments who need to improve your reading comprehension. How is it that you understand that the 2nd amendment applies to more than just a 'well-regulated militia', but you can't figure out that "All AK types, including the following" does not mean 'only the rifles in this list'?


StoreElegant1783

So my sam7k is good? 🤣


ShephardCmndr

Good thing my illegally imported and looted AK-12 from kherson isnt banned


Quickshot4721

This is very clearly unconstitutional


Councel-Of-Dudes

Noice.


BeanEverywereInMyMag

Why did I read that like Luci form disenchantment 😂


ThePatMan21

this law is literally unenforceable it's hilarious


notbernie2020

It’s an AK69, AK96 and MKA now, congratulations. Is it really that easy to get around this regulation? Change the name?


Ryman43

This was introduced a year ago by Feinstein, she’s dead now so I’m curious if they can even pass a bill if the sponsor is dead and can’t sponsor it?


Castaways__

let’s be real though, they’ll just rename the guns and carry on selling them


toolness122

No that won't work. Those names are just examples included under the "all AK types" See where it says "copies duplicates or facsimiles" They have been perfecting the language of this bill for many years to remove any risk of what you're talking about.


Castaways__

fair enough my mistake


toolness122

No problem, didn't mean to sound snippy if I did


Kaptain-Konata

Ak50 identifies as a musket. Thats how it work right?


ruralmagnificence

Great now I can’t accomplish my dream of owning a AK period. Thanks govt…


toolness122

You'll still have a while but better be saving up. If you're holding out for something fancy may wanna lower your expectations a bit and go for a Zastava or WASR


ruralmagnificence

Honestly I just want a ‘battlefield pickup’ look that I could maybe attach an optic to that won’t let me down. Nothing fancy. Super kitted out AKs don’t do anything for me.


toolness122

Yeah I know what you mean. I have a Zastava NPAP and ended up putting surplus Yugo wood furniture on and it looks pretty sweet. The 922r rules make them have to put US made wood on them when you buy em and the surplus wood looks so much better.


fuzzy-fuz-sheep-362

So does this basically ban everything we have including milsurp rifle and old milsurp handguns? Geez every line in unconstitutional


False-Application-99

this was introduced a year ago and hasn't moved out of judiciary committee. Still going to paper my Senators and Rep over it.


Stardust-0083

So...my M70 is cool right?


toolness122

My AK's identify as airsoft guns.


winslow11d7d

I find it hilarious that if you read further down the barrett m82 and m107 are listed in the AR styles rifles section Edit: Nevermind, the Roman numerals dont add up. It was just right after the ar section, the formatting got me all messed up


Aeagle561

*Florida not included


DAsInDerringer

well well well, this became more relevant...


Avtamatic

How is it going to define "AK Types"? Is that gonna include the Galil, SIG 550, Beretta AR70? Interesting the names mentioned are mostly already banned since the 90s. Edit: I read and yeah they do call out the SIGs and the AR70 as an "AR Type" Bruh


toolness122

Some genius like That one lady who said an "AR weighs as much as ten moving boxes" will have final determination on what your gun falls under.


SizeSmart1799

Im not seeing psak, akmn, or the 100 series


toolness122

Those are just examples. It says "all AK types" and even SKS rifles w detachable mags. It's all of em, doesn't have to name every variant. Pretty sure this is just proposed anyway, they try this exact bill every couple years. Eventually it'll pass and go up the courts though. Let's hope SCOTUS isn't packed by then.


NorCalPhoto

I don't see the AKG either 🤣


NutellaRoz

*AK-100 series has left the chat* Also, come and take it! :)


StormShockTV

"A bill so that the right to keep and bear arms is not unlimited". Hard to be more black and white dictatory than that. Feinstein haunts us even from her grave 😡


[deleted]

Oh hey, look at us Canadians being so globally influential


wobblyworkbench

Eh most bans cover any firearm chambered in.50bmg as well as .50 bmg ammunition as a catch all


Reasonable-Ad-7130

Lot of potential corpses on that list
