We are glad Representative Cicilline introduced H.R. 698, the Assault Weapons Ban Act, which would ban the future manufacture and sale of assault weapons and large-capacity magazines.
So, people are taking legally purchased pistols, adding these devices marketed as stabilizing braces but which are actually shoulder stocks and changing the character of the gun, transforming it into an unregistered short-barreled rifle.
We should be talking about how we support the ATF and enable it to do its job, but today again we are here to attack the ATF and to try to even abolish it.
