Rep. David N. Cicilline (D-RI) and numerous Democrat colleagues in the House are pushing an “assault weapons” ban that would prohibit “high capacity” magazines and 205 different firearms.
The Providence Journal reports that Cicilline’s bill, HR 5087, “would prohibit the sale, transfer, production, and importation of semi-automatic rifles and pistols that have a magazine or can accept a magazine that can hold more than 10 bullets, and any ammunition-feeding device that can hold more than 10 bullets.”
Cicilline’s bill describes an “semiautomatic assault weapon” as a firearm with a “detachable magazine” and a “pistol grip,” “forward grip,” “folding stock,” “rocket launcher,” or “threaded barrel.” The list includes pistols made by CZ, Daniel Defense, America Spirit, Heckler and Koch, Centurion, and DPMS, among others. It includes rifles made by Kel-Tec, Springfield Armory, Heckler and Koch, Barrett, Beretta, Stag Arms, Remington, Rock River, Mossberg, Diamond Back, Daniel Defense, Colt, Bushmaster, Armalite, and Norinco, among others.
Cicilline’s bill bans “all AK types” even though the Florida gunman used an AR-15.

This will ban handguns too... becasue based on this, handguns have detachable magazines as well and can hold more than 10 rounds...
same bill that was introduced in 2015. nothing new just another "opportunity"
Ban on guns. This was written a year ago but Trump won. Now the far left blew the dust off proposal, changed the date and submitted it. Democrats WANT YOUR GUNS if they win election THEY WILL TAKE THEM. please VOTE REPUBLICAN
Threaded barrel? Too many James Bond movies.
Ban what you want, but how you going to get the 600 million guns from all of us? Everyone I know won't give them up, and come to take them, it's your funeral.
Every mass shooter was either a Muslim or a Democrat maybe we need to ban certain people.
1:56 You can buy them for under $200 for almost every Glock model. Many AR-15's have threaded barrels for flash suppressors and silencers. Not really needed nor do they make the guns anymore or less dangerous. Only the person holding it does that.
Democrat or Fepublican, you will not get my GUNS. Period
Yep which will start a civil war.
alot of new rifles and handguns come with threaded barrels
lock and load they are coming for your guns.
These idiots would not know what an assault weapon / weapon of war is if it bit them in the ass. Less than 10 calibers of weapons have never been used in a war. So that means all weapons are weapons of war. The deceitful / lying Democrats / Liberals are coming for your weapons.
Short barreled pump shotgun with tube extension full of 00 buck shot will take down a group of people just as fast as an AR or AK.
Call Mike Lewis he will defend you SMH.
This is the very reason why I'm against gun control. If you give them an inch, they'll take the mike.
As much as I would like to restrict certain guns from certain people, I'm afraid once it starts, it won't stop. These folks want to to take away all our guns.

JESUS! That is NOT true. Why can't you people use Google BEFORE you make stupid statements? Repeating lies, whether intentional or not, does not help and makes things worse.
Clinton signed a ban in 1994. It was in effect for 10 years and expired due to the included "sunset" clause. It really did not help but some will still debate that. Diane Weinstein? and Joe Biden had their fingers in such bans. (I forget if it this particular one).
But rest assured it came from Demoncrats. (of course and as usual)
They have tried several times to revive it or similar bans but have not succeeded as of yet. (the 1994 ban barely passed)
