Chink...its almost twice as big for one.
2) They've gotten into all sorts of other weapons(and things that could be used as a weapon) and muddled the definition of dirk/dagger to include any knife...thereby expanding a cop or DA's latitude in charges.
3) They have greater penalties for using a semi- vs a bolt action in crimes
4) Open the door for further re-defining assault weapons and bans.
5) Incremental defacto gun registration, for each new gun they decide to call an assault weapon...including double sets of finger prints, registration, background check and you pay for it
6) Redefined a gun as loaded if you have immediate possession of ammo....ex. Your single action revolver is unloaded but if you have ammo in your pocket, the gun is "loaded"
7) Expands the definitions of crimes and increases penalties accordingly..this results in more money spent and requires mandated local programs increasing bureaucracy
8) Also does not preclude a pistol from being called a short-barreled rifle or shotgun...thus allows an increased penalty
There is too much to list here, like I said, its almost twice as big as it was in the Senate
