Fighting S.2584 / H.4139 / HD.4420 Legislation
The new proposed legislation would effectively codify the Healey “Assault Weapon Enforcement” notice. S.2584 goes far beyond that executive reinterpretation and bans all modern semi-automatic firearms (Rifle and Pistol Caliber) including the firearms that Healey had explicitly called out as being “Not Assault Weapons”. .22LR peashooters would no longer be exempt!
On top of that there is no grandfathering for current owners and complicates an already nebulous legal landscape. There is nothing positive in this proposed legislation for law abiding citizens who are exercising their 2nd Amendment rights. It also has wording which could infringe on a citizens’ 1st Amendment rights as well!
