This one's on the Fed level and it's much nastier than the Klinton version.

‘‘(ii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon"

How do I make my pistol grip inconspicuous? I'd like to know.

i just read the bill.

The bill does grandfather post 1994 weapons up until the enactment of this current legislation. However, large capacity magazines are only grandfathered prior to sept 13, 1994.

WOW...that means the all the people in free states who have purchased large cap mags since the expiration of the original ban will immediately become felons upon the passage of this bill.

It appears that the only effect this ban will have on mass gun owners it that preban mags will again go for big money.
