Specifics:
158 specifically named banned guns.
1 "military style feature" semi-auto with detachable magazine capable of holding more than 10 rds.

Mandatory background checks for all transfers

Divide and conquer!

Is it stll on? I haven't found a link for a live feed yet.

I am keeping my eyes open for it. It is being introduced today, so it might not be in the GPO's or the LOC's until tomorrow.
