The latest Dimwit attempt to pass a federal “assault weapon” ban just passed in committee. And none of the swamp critters seem to know what’s in it, if this article is to be believed.

‘That’s The Point’: Rep. Nadler Admits Bill Will Confiscate Guns In ‘Common Use’
Republican North Carolina Rep. Dan Bishop asked House Democrats if they dispute the fact that the proposed legislation H.R. 1808, titled “Assault Weapons Ban of 2021,” bans firearms in “common use” throughout the country.

“Would anyone on the other side dispute that this bill would ban weapons that are in common use in the United States today?” Bishop asked.

“That’s the point of the bill,” Nadler replied.

If banning these common firearms is the point, someone seriously screwed up. As introduced, HR 1808 — not yet amended — doesn’t ban any existing firearm.

“(v) (1) It shall be unlawful for a person to import, sell, manufacture, transfer, or possess, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, a semiautomatic assault weapon.

“(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to the possession, sale, or transfer of any semiautomatic assault weapon otherwise lawfully possessed under Federal law on the date of enactment of the Assault Weapons Ban of 2021.

It bans transfers and importation of future firearms and magazines. But it — semi-wisely — doesn’t touch existing items. The only mention of confiscation or seizure is (“d) Seizure And Forfeiture Of Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Devices;” again, that’s new “high capacity” magazines.

Or possibly the congresscritters do understand this, and it’s only the Daily Caller that doesn’t grasp the difference between a future “ban” and “confiscate.”

Hint: One would merely piss off a lot of people, while the other would get a lot of cops killed. I think even some Dims get that, which is why mandated confiscation, seizure, or surrender of arms is nowhere in the bill. Yet.
