H.R. 45--Much Worse Than I Thought

H.R. 45--Much Worse Than I Thought

I just re-read H.R. 45, which I thought only imposed a federal licensing requirement for assault weapons. No. It imposes a federal licensing requirement for possession of:
The term `qualifying firearm'--
        `(A) means--
          `(i) any handgun; or
          `(ii) any semiautomatic firearm that can accept any detachable ammunition feeding device; and
        `(B) does not include any antique.'.
This would force tens of millions of Americans to get a federal license to own any handgun, and pass a written test, and be fingerprinted. And what do we get in return? Nothing.
