House Democrats’ ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban Prohibits Semiautomatic Pistols Too
The “assault weapons” ban legislation that passed the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday not only prohibits AR-15s and AK-47s, but numerous semiautomatic pistols and shotguns as well.
But the language of H.R. 1808 also makes clear the legislation bans numerous semiautomatic pistols as well.

The ban applies to semiautomatic pistols with detachable magazines and threaded barrels. Because of the popularity of suppressors for hearing protection, nearly every semiautomatic pistol manufacturer makes pistol models with threaded barrels. This means an untold number of semiautomatic pistols would be banned by H.R. 1808.

Also, any semiautomatic pistol with a fixed magazine capable of holding more than ten rounds would be banned, as would any semiautomatic shotgun with a fixed magazine holding more than five rounds.

Vote delayed until after August recess. Apparently Pelosi was concerned that the final vote might fail even in the House, denying the Democrats a virtue-signaling opportunity.

She probably got pushback from her own caucus members facing tough reelections.

Of course she did. It is called politics for a reason.

PHUUUUQ! :evil: That was sneaky. House passes bill 217-213. They keep saying it's doomed in the Senate, we can only hope so.

5 round limit on a fixed magazine shotgun? Doesn't the Mossberg 500 hold 6 in the mag? I know my old Remington Model 10 held 6 in the mag. Glad I sold them long ago.

I'm pretty sure the Mossberg 835 held 6 rounds of 2 3/4" shells in the mag if the plug was removed. Other 3.5" chambered guns might have similar issues when shorter shells are used. Also, with the availability of Federal and Aquila mini-shells, pretty much all single barrel repeating shotguns with fixed magazines could be affected.

How am I complying? Those guns were sold long before the present foolishness.

On the other hand, how many potentially non-compliant shotguns have you bought in protest of this bill?

Never mind, I already know your non-answer.
