6. Factual inaccuracy is still tripping you up, I see.
It doesn't ban "sale of weapons", it bans transfers (which include sales, gifts and bequests from estates)

(b) Prohibitions- Section 922 of such title is amended by inserting after subsection (u) the following:

‘(v)(1)(A)(i) Except as provided in clause (ii), it shall be unlawful for a person to transfer or possess a large capacity ammunition feeding device.

‘(ii) Clause (i) shall not apply to the possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device otherwise lawfully possessed within the United States on or before the date of the enactment of this subsection.



So millions of guns eminently suitable for hunting, and provably less dangerous than hands and feet as far as killing and

injuring actual, like, people will become contraband when their owners die, all because a zealot is on a Mission From God.

Congratulations, McCarthy and her supporters may just have driven the last of the anti-modern-weapon hunting types into our camp!


I stand by the OP- and I stand by the title of this post.
