My best friend, Steve (Rocky) Smith of Smiths' Custom Taxidermy (link on my site map) just informed me that this same thing has been passed around the Internet before... He has convinced me that it only includes automatic and semi-automatic "assault" type weapons, and NOT hunting rifles, shotguns, etc... He put a great deal of emphasis on the fact that this has been passed around the net before, that the government has repeatedly said that it only includes assault weapons, and usually just stirs things up.... Have I just been sold the key to the batters box so to speak... I sure bit on it!! I does make me wonder about my beautiful 1911 with special African Rosewood grips, muzzle brake and some other loving mods that I have done to it.. It's a beautiful gun, one of my favorites to plink with and reload for, including molding my own bullets for. Lord I would hate to loose that to a bill like this...
