yes, no kidding ... problem is you are reading extra words into it.
a pistol has to have the capacity to accept a detachable magazine AND any one of those other things
NO, this would be true for my Nano because it has a 6+1 capacity ... however, if it were 12+1, it would be banned.
So, for a pistol to be banned, it has to have a detachable magazine AND that detachable magazine has to be outside of the pistol grip
so long as it is less than 10 shot capacity ... otherwise, you are wrong.
If it has a magazine INSIDE the pistol grip (like most pistols), it's not banned
wrong again ... please, read on ... it gets worse.
But if it doesn't have one of the other items (i-iv) it's fine
actually it isn't but you can keep thinking it was.
That's what I said in the statement you quoted
NO and NO ... that loadable 'grip' mag has to be under a specific capacity or it is banned.
But that loadable mag HAS to be outside the pistol grip for it to be banned
no, you are confused.
It's talking about is a fixed magazine
now, you can argue with me til the cows come home, but it won't change the above.
‘‘(37) The term ‘large capacity ammunition feeding device’—
‘‘(A) means a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device, including any such device joined or
coupled with another in any manner, that has an overall capacity of, or that can be readily restored,
changed, or converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition.
i won't dispute this but i sure have never met one.
I know that there are some good lawyers out there. They need to step forward and not wait for a case just to make money.
if you believe what THEY wrote, please prove it.
link a photo of any non-qualifying SAP that has a fixed clip (not a magazine) with greater than 10rnd capacity.
YEP, just like Obamacare ... take this, take that and btw, we'll be taking all you've got so get ready
The rules and regulations are to be made up after the bill is passed!

Where is all the outrage from the gun makers and manufacturers and sellers at? I am seeing nothing coming from them, why are they not throwing some money around, trying to get some laws passed or something, makes no sense.
Does this mean that I could still have one of those older Gatling guns that has a grinder style handle on it since it doesn't have a grip its mounted on a turret
Back in the old days they only had six shooters and 1 shot rifles, double barrel shotguns and the military and other people had better guns and they still seemed to keep things under control...
Not that I agree with any of these bans but someone can just as easily kill a bunch of people with a six shooter or a 1 shot rifle. From a safety standpoint it really just makes no sense and you can always still get a gun on the black market or steal one.. If you plan to kill a bunch of people then what is the big deal in finding someone who has some good weapons and killing them with your 6 shooter so you can use their better weapons to kill more people..
People who want to kill are going to do it one way or another they will find a way and maybe they will just go on the internet and make a bomb if they can't find the proper gun then they can kill more people then they could with a semi-auto rifle.

sooooo, that's what happened to them, eh ??
re-classified ... typical.
boy i'd like to re-classify some politicians ... don't we have that authority already ????????
'm wondering, does anyone have a link to a form-letter or template to correspond with our Congress reps ?? Sens & Reps HAVE to hear from us by the bucket-loads or they might be tempted to bow to their 'providers'.

This is simply NOT TRUE! Only semi-automatic pistols that have the capacity to accept a detachable magazine outside the pistol grip are banned...
www.abovetopsecret.com...
The term ‘semiautomatic assault weapon’ means any of the following, regardless of country of manufacture or caliber of ammunition accepted:
...
(D) A semiautomatic pistol that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine AND any 1 of the following:
(i) A threaded barrel.
(ii) A second pistol grip.
(iii) A barrel shroud.
(iv) The capacity to accept a detachable magazine at some location outside of the pistol grip..

If you guys want to make any ground, you're going to have to be more factual - especially when you complain so loudly about the MSM being dishonest to "push their agenda"... It seems to me it's happening in spades on BOTH sides of the issue...
That's what you get for using websites such as "the daily caller" without checking FOR YOURSELF... I'm really surprised you posted this. Stop falling for this crazy crap from non-credible websites. Please?

A threaded barrel...
You realize that almost every shotgun ever made for bird hunting has a threaded barrel so that you can change out choke tubes so that you can adjust the spread : range of your patterns...
This is so you can adjust the pattern to fit the conditions...
A barrel shroud....
A lot of "Not assault weapons" have these too.... You know what they are for? It's so you don't burn your hand on the barrel as exploding gunpowder has a tendency to get pretty darn hot...
