57. Does anyone know what the law was that passed under Clinton?

Nov 2022

I understand that law is expired, but
what were the specifics?

When I'm at the gun range, I don't see a lot
of one shot hunting guns although I have one.
And I don't see many revolvers.

It's pretty standard now that a lot of handguns
and sport rifles are semi auto.
I have several handguns and two hunting rifles
that use clips, most commonly 6 to 8 shots.
It's handy for hunting but especially target practice.

-for those that don't know, you have to pull the
trigger for each bang, there's a clip that works on
a spring to reload.

Semi autos are ubiquitous. I would support licensing and insurance like cars, some kind of national database for those that can't have guns, tougher penalties for those that provide guns to those that shouldn't have them.

Just don't know how this would work. 30 round clips are not necessary. But all my guns have a 6 or 8 round clips.

Is he proposing banning all semi automatic firearms ? MichMan Nov 2022 #1
I think you have accurately described the problem. Well done. twodogsbarking Nov 2022 #3
My opinion is we should focus on the ammo William Seger Nov 2022 #4
You'll need to describe Zeitghost Nov 2022 #7
So be it William Seger Nov 2022 #12
The .223/5.56 is a light rifle round Zeitghost Nov 2022 #13
It could be in the cards, if politicians had the guts William Seger Nov 2022 #15

I agree with you NickB79 Nov 2022 #33
I agree with this imavoter Nov 2022 #59
Then do something about it Kaleva Nov 2022 #54
There's a huge misunderstanding imavoter Nov 2022 #58
The "AR" in Colt AR-15 stands for "ArmaLite Rifle" nt EX500rider Nov 2022 #66
AR 15 style guns fire anything from .22 caliber to shotgun shells Kaleva Nov 2022 #56
Do you understand that a full metal jacket makes bullets less lethal? hack89 Nov 2022 #27

Look, I understand your's and other's frustrations, I really do, MarineCombatEngineer Nov 2022 #32
Man, do i 100% AGREE here! WTH. bluestarone Nov 2022 #63
Why don't you simply advocate for a complete ban on all semiautomatic rifles? hack89 Nov 2022 #36
One very obvious distinction that DOES exist... William Seger Nov 2022 #40
Another distinction is that AR15 are used in a very small number of murders compared to handguns MichMan Nov 2022 #41
Thank you. DashOneBravo Nov 2022 #46
Absolutely meaningless hack89 Nov 2022 #42
That would do nothing Zeitghost Nov 2022 #71
A bolt action chambered for "military grade" ammo isn't a choice for mass shooters Kaleva Nov 2022 #55
That would be all semiautomatic rifles then, even hunting rifles NickB79 Nov 2022 #9
Do people understand how popular deer hunting is in many states? MichMan Nov 2022 #11
Same in Rebl2 Nov 2022 #35
If you need to fire 10 rounds at 3000fps within 2 or 3 seconds to bring down a deer William Seger Nov 2022 #14
Most semiautomatic deer rifles only hold 3-4 rounds NickB79 Nov 2022 #19
Most states have a magazine limit for hunting hack89 Nov 2022 #28
I found some data DashOneBravo Nov 2022 #48
And what exactly is your point? (nt) William Seger Nov 2022 #49
I'm off the board until Monday morning DashOneBravo Nov 2022 #50

Putting aside whether it's possible or if it would solve the issue, at least it makes sense XorXor Nov 2022 #67

Why don't we ban Doc_Technical Nov 2022 #6

How would you suggest all the ones currently owned be confiscated ? MichMan Nov 2022 #10
Could just make it illegal to sell them except to the government William Seger Nov 2022 #17
Can't do it at the federal level hack89 Nov 2022 #29
Most state bans are reversed by the courts MichMan Nov 2022 #37
