The New Brady Bill will:
-Expand the definition of firearms to include component parts -- receiver, barrel, stock, ammunition magazine, "or any
part of the action" (pins, springs, screws, etc.).
-Require a federal arsenal license for a person to possess more than 20 firearms or 1,000 rounds of ammunition. License
is $300 for 3 years. (NOTE: A primer would be considered a round of ammunition)
-Essentially repeal the Brady Act by establishing a permanent national 7-day waiting period for handguns and handgun
ammunition sales. The National Instant Check system would apply only to long guns.
-Require "proper storage" of firearms and ammunition to prevent accessibility by juveniles (under 16 yrs. old). Adult is
liable even if a juvenile is only "likely" to gain access. Provisions are not limited to the premises of the adult's home. No
exception is made for theft. This
provision would "chill" the ability of any adult to own firearms because of the liability threshold. (NOTE: Non-compliance
is a federal crime. You will never own another gun)
-Increase FFL dealer fee by $1000 annually. Unannounced inspections are increased to 3 times per year. Gives BATF 6
months, instead of 45 days, to act on a license application.
-Prohibit the purchase or transfer of more than one handgun in any 30-day period.
-Require FFLs to carry up to $100,000 in insurance. Requires a federal firearms license to sell ammunition. "Arsenal"
license holder would be obligated to get insurance coverage.
-Bans "Saturday Night Specials," which are defined in several ways, including but not limited to:
1. Any revolver with a barrel of less than 3" and any pistol with a combined length and height of less than 10"
2. Any pistol lacking a "positive manually operated safety device." (This includes all Glock & Sigma Series pistols).
-Ban "non sporting ammunition," including the 73-year-old .50- cal. BMG cartridge and "any handgun ammunition
measuring more than .45" in diameter." (NOTE: .45 ACP measures .451) Also bans "any ammunition that contains an
incendiary or explosive charge" (NOTE: gunpowder is an incendiary, and primers are explosive charges).
-Ban "large-capacity ammunition feeding devices," defined as being capable of accepting more than 6 rounds. Also bans
any combination of parts from which such a device can be assembled. (large capacity??..Is this a joke???)
-Eliminate dealers' sales of firearms at gun shows. ( No need to worry about that Instacheck at gun shows huh.)[/quote]
