I think most of us have seen the Biden gun control wish list. Anything he considers to be an assault weapon being subject to the National Firearms Act and treated the same as a full auto weapon requiring another background check and fingerprinting for each weapon you retain. Obviously this is aimed at the ARs, AKs, Mini-14s and who knows what else. Also each of those you intend to keep would require a $200 fee along with another $200 fee for each magazine with a capacity above 10 rounds. The last time I heard him speak on this subject he was very careful not to call it a tax, but rather a much more friendly sounding "fee". In his world violators would be subject to ten years in federal prison and a $10,000 fine. You would however have the option to sell the gun to the federal government. I haven't heard what the plans are for magazines that are over the 10 round limit, if they would also be bought or just be required to be turned in. I'm still up in the air as to how he presumes to accomplish this. Whether it's done through actual legislation, through regulation changes or just using his phone and pen. It's beginning to look more and more likely that we failed to stop him at the voting booth, but we still have hopes of stopping his plans if we can retain the needed seats in the Senate and then there is always the judiciary which hopefully would prevent his wish list from coming true. One other thing I heard was that he wanted to reinstate the "assault weapons ban" of the Clinton years.
I think we're going to have a real fight on our hands and was curious as to what you all thought might be the outcome. I'm hoping we can get a discussion going on a subject that might affect quite a few of us.
