National ‘assault weapon’ ban coming Thursday (Today)

[Shadowrider]

It's been introduced for several hours now. Has it passed yet?

Someone's at the door. BRB.

 

[twotonevert]

Cant find any coverage on it at this time.

 

[ROON]

Isn't there a TV channel that airs the vote?

 

[Coded-Dude]

It will not be voted on for a while. It has to go to....ah hell, just watch this.



Even if it makes it out of Committee it has to be approved by Boehner before it makes it to the house floor for discussion(where it will fail to get the votes needed anyways).

But to answer your question...yes you can watch c-span where the house and senate debate such legislation(among other things).

They are still parading it around right now trying to garner support.

I can't find a link to the actual bill. Wasn't a mention of registration. I don't think that was left outta the bill, just the news conference. How else would they enforce a background check on transfer of banned guns? Summary from today says that magazines can't be transferred though.

 

[Coded-Dude]

We won't know what's in the bill until it is actually submitted. Right now they are merely pleading for support by parading tragedy victims across the stage. It will probably be submitted today, and so we should know the details tomorrow(but I could be wrong).

 

[Spata]

So, if this passes will unregistered guns be 'undocumented' or 'illegal'?

 

[WideLoadTimmy]

Hating this!

She's throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks.
