NRA: Feinstein bill would impose $200 tax on many semi-automatic rifles | Mobile Washington Examiner http://m.washingtonexaminer.com/nra-feinstein-bill-would-impose-200-tax-on-many-semi-automatic-rifles/article/2517022?utm_source=DITTO%20TEMPLATE:%20Political%20Digest%20-%2012/28/2012&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Washington%20Examiner:%20Political%20Digest ....” According to Feinstein’s bill summary, the legislation
requires owners of semi-automatic rifles – deemed as
assault weapons – to register their gun with the
Federal Government under the National Firearms Act.
The National Firearms Act, first enacted in 1934, was
passed to choke the sale and transfer of automatic
weapons.
Under the current NFA, owners of automatic weapons
are allowed to keep their weapons but requires an
owner to submit photographs and fingerprints to the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
(BATFE).".... RRD: Of course the result of the passage of this bill (assuming that this story is accurate )would not be to prevent criminals from acquiring weapons,it would be to permit the government to identify & ultimately disarm people of exactly those weapons (which they still possess) which would be most effective in resisting a dictatorship,should the country become one & should armed rebellion become necessary. But of course we cannot fear such a occurance since "it can't happen here".
