The problem is that even if you could potentially say that you have lost all your guns in a boating accident, you will never be able to use them because you will never be able to take them to the range to practice, you would never be able to use them in a self defense situation because they would be illegal guns so you might win your self defense case you would be charged with a felony for having an unregistered weapon. If they pass this demonic bill from heck through, they have effectively turned all who would resist and not register into felons.

BTW, has anyone noticed, I haven't seen a comment about it, that it says "registered under NFA"?

Wouldn't that mean that, as for every other NFA, we have to pay a fee to register a firearm we already own? Isn't that an "ex post facto" law? Chas?

Yep, I added a quote from the cretin senator's web page that notes registering grandfathered items under NFA.

Under both the '34 Act and the '68 Act, there were registration periods. I don't believe there was a fee associated with that initial, required registration under the '34 Act - as it was a simple registration of an existing item. I don't recall anything about a fee to register grandfathered items in the cretin senator's web page...?

...and exactly what the heck is a "military characteristic ?" I know the bureaucrats will come up with five hundred pages of definitions about how many whats have to be how many inches away from whatever..., but i reject the whole concept at its bedrock. The 2nd amendment makes no distinction between military and civilian arms, and neither should we.

If the Dims were honest, they'd just draw up a bill to repeal the 2nd amendment. I'd like an amendment to say that you can't enact a law or ordinance that overrides the clear and simple intent of any constitutional provision or amendment without following the constitutional amendment process. We still might end up in Feinstein's police state, but at least we'd deserve it.

Freaking lawyers!
