B) no one is making a tax penalty for gun ownership..
You 100% just pilulled that out of thin air..
Do you know how hard it is to get anything passed Congress and the senate??
Plus literally no one is proposing that and no elected official has ever proposed that..
xcludes from such ban any semiautomatic assault weapon that: (1) is lawfully possessed on the date of enactment of this Act (grandfathered weapon); (2) is manually operated by bolt, pump, lever, or slide action; (3) has been rendered permanently inoperable; (4) is an antique firearm; or (5) is used for law enforcement or security purposes or for testing or experimentation authorized by the Attorney General.
Feinstein and Senator Richard Blumenthal, D-CT, held a separate news conference in response to LaPierre's.[10] There, Feinstein said that the bill was a work in progress and that one idea was to register grandfathered assault weapons under the National Firearms Act (NFA) and another was a buy-back program.

Just because I assume your not quick enough to see where my quote invalidates everything you said

If the weapons sold before that day are excluded from the law.. then nothing in the law applies to those weapons..

Except Diane Feinstein HAS said that she wants an outright ban on ownership.

Regarding the latest iteration of the semi-auto ban, the OP keeps saying its not a real ban because you can keep the ones you own before the law, its only a ban on the sale of new weapons.
Well someone needs to learn what the term "Transfer" means.
Its specifically says that you would not be able to transfer semiauto firearms.
That's means that I could not conduct a private sale or even give a semi-auto that I legally possess to someone else after the law goes into effect.
I could not even leave it to my son if I die because THATS a transfer.
So what happens to all these guns that cant get transferred to new owners?
They will have to be destroyed unless someone wants to keep them and become illegal.
SO when all current owners die off we would have a complete ban on the ownership of semi-autos in effect.
No thanks. I like things exactly how they are and that includes the danger that crazy people might kill someone. I am willing to risk that in order to maintain my liberty.

You didn’t say their was a 200$ fee for the gun changing hands after registration..
A 200$ fee that is already paid, just by the manufacturers, who then raise their prices by 200$.. so a few everyone is already payong..
You said that everyone who didn’t turn them in had to pay 200$..
People are allowed to sell their preban guns.. it is included in the grand father clause.
Literally the only change is they no longer sell brand new one.
Everything else is mental masterbation.
A fight with only one side..
