On the recordMay 2, 1994
Then on February 17, I once again wrote to him because there appeared in a gun magazine a list of additional semiautos that some gun interests felt might be banned by your amendment to the Senate crime bill. That list included 180 different weapons. The letter that I got in return from BATF came to me April 1, in which they examined the 180-plus different weapons. They subtracted out the 29 that they had proposed in their December 20 letter, and here are his exact words: The majority of the firearms contained on the enclosure in your letter would be assault weapons as that term is defined in the Feinstein amendment. The following firearms on your list would not be assault weapons. And they list several, and then go on to say, ``but the majority are and would be banned by the Feinstein amendment.''
