This bill makes it a crime to import, sell, manufacture, transfer or posses a semi automatic "assault weapon" or "large capacity ammunition feeding devices".
Defines semi-automatic assault weapons to include rifles, shotguns and pistols that:
- Are semiautomatic
- Can accept a removable ammunition feeding device
- Have at least one additional feature that make firearms especially deadly, including military features identified in ATF reports.
-
importation, sale, manufacture, transfer, or possession related to certain law enforcement efforts, or authorized tests or experiments;
-
importation, sale, transfer, or possession related to securing nuclear materials; and
-
possession by a retired law enforcement officer.
The bill allows Large capacity ammunition feeding devices to be grandfathered in, but prohibits the sale of them. New guns and magazines would need the date of manufacturing displayed on them.
1808 aims to ban hundreds of commonly used guns. This bill goes directly against our constitutional rights, SHALL NOT INFRINGE means SHALL NOT INFRINGE. In these dark times we strongly suggest reaching out to the officials representing your area and urge that they vote NO to 1808 and anything that goes against your constitutional rights.
