BTW, if you look closely at what Feinstein is defining as an "Assault Weapon" (they include rifles and pistols this time) you'll find that our Lugers are considered "Assault Weapons".

How can this be? Well, under their new definition, if your firearm has military features, and can accept a magazine with more than 10 cartridges, it is an "Assault Weapon".

But our Luger magazines only hold 8 shots, right? Well that's true except for the Trommel Magazine. Since it holds 32, and our Luger can accept one (even if we don't have one) it's an "Assault Weapon".

Federal registration plays into the UN Weapons Ban strategy of having nations register firearms.

To pay for it all, the NFA transfer tax stamps at $200 apiece.

Here's the NRA-ILA Summary of what's known about the proposal.

Note that one of the provisions prohibits transfer of "Assault Weapons" from current owners, and mandates turn-in and destruction upon the owner's death.
