Friend,
We just confirmed that a provision of the HR 1808 "assault weapons" ban would massively increase the ATF's power.
That's because this legislation would also ban:
“Any part, combination of parts, component, device, attachment, or accessory that is designed or functions to accelerate the rate of fire of a semiautomatic firearm but not convert the semiautomatic firearm into a machinegun."
This would not only ban common aftermarket parts like triggers and bolt carrier groups, but virtually anything that can increase rate of fire.
Does that mean that belt loops on pants, rubber bands or perhaps even human fingers could be outlawed? Paging Jerry Miculek...
But that's not even in the most insidious part. That's because HR 1808 is ambiguous, giving the ATF wide latitude to push more regulations.
What's more, doing custom work like smoothing out a trigger or polishing a BCG could land you in hot water with the ATF.
We thought this legislation was bad enough after it came to light that it could potentially be used to ban .22s in addition to everything else.
TAKE ACTION: STOP HR 1808 TODAY!
But every time we take another look at HR 1808, it just seems to appear more draconian than at first blush.
Indeed, to recap, the current text of this outrageous legislation would:
Indeed, because this legislation creates a federal ban on regular mags, people living in states like CA, NY, etc. could make simple possession an additional federal crime in those jurisdictions.
With a bill this insane, you would think that nobody in their right mind would support it, but 212 members in the House already have.
And in just over 48 hours, a House committee will hear this legislation, potentially making it EVEN WORSE!
Friend, this markup meeting is the first of its kind in over TWO DECADES! And it could result in HR 1808 being sent to the floor.
That's why are emailing you and your fellow gun owners again today. We need EVERYONE to get in this fight.
If you haven't already, please make sure to click this link and contact your representatives ASAP. Tell them to vote NO on HR 1808.
If you donate today, you will automatically be entered to WIN a Century Arms PSL 54 Marksman Rifle!
However, even if you have already donated, it now makes sense to give again if you are able to do so.
HR 1808 stands to potentially turn nearly every gun owner into a criminal for exercising our basic human rights.
Imagine being sent to prison over purchasing certain .22s or even just polishing part of your gun. It's unfathomable!
And we've got less than two days now to make sure this affront to the Constitution is stopped before it goes to committee.
So take action and donate NOW to defeat HR 1808 and you will be entered to WIN the Marksman Rifle!
