So while wandering through the classifieds out of boredom, I noticed a dealer that has some info regarding a proposed AWB of 2021 in regards to selling "pre-ban" rifles. it reads as follows :
So according to this, dealer selling pre-ban rifles, there is a grandfather clause.
Well, if there is a grandfather clause, why would I spend so much on a pre-94 if everything owned prior to the ban will be grandfathered ?
Help me understand this great minds of NES.
I need to understand why I just wouldn't buy an upper of my choice prior to any ban and therefore it would be legal to own after any new AWB.
On March 11th, the House has filed a new 2021 Assault Weapon Ban. If you have been on the fence about getting an AR or AK style rifle, now might be the time as there will be a grandfather clause
The Assault Weapons Ban of 2021:
Exemptions to bill:
- Bans the sale, manufacture, transfer and importation of 205 military-style assault weapons by name. Owners may keep existing weapons.
- Bans any assault weapon with a magazine that is not a fixed ammunition magazine and has one or more military characteristics including a pistol grip, a forward grip, a barrel shroud, a threaded barrel or a folding or telescoping stock. Owners may keep existing weapons.
- Bans magazines and other ammunition feeding devices that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition, which allow shooters to quickly fire many rounds without needing to reload. Owners may keep existing magazines.
- Prohibits the transfer of high-capacity ammunition magazines.
- The bill includes a grandfather clause that exempts all weapons lawfully possessed at the date of enactment.
So according to this, dealer selling pre-ban rifles, there is a grandfather clause.
Well, if there is a grandfather clause, why would I spend so much on a pre-94 if everything owned prior to the ban will be grandfathered ?
