Scary...nice to see that Ron Paul isn't one of the co-sponsors (of course!)....

Since my family doesn't have one, how much does one of these cost and what, if any, are the current regulations on them?

20. H.R.1022 : To reauthorize the assault weapons ban, and for other purposes.

Committees: House Judiciary
Latest Major Action: 3/19/2007 Referred to House subcommittee. Status: Referred to the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security.

There was a message on 560 that said it was out of committee and on the floor.

The impression I got was they were watching C-SPAN and saw it re-introduced on the floor, though they didn't explicitly say so.

How long does it take to update Thomas? The post was an hour and a half ago, so if correct it's new information.

An AR-15 is about $800

regulations on them depends on where you live.

No idea how long it takes to update Thomas. If it makes it to the House Floor for debate, you can rest assured I will join you in raising holy hell about it.

Wow. That on and the "R" one it seems this is a plan across the board.

It was Ron Paul's H.R.1096 that got me started here.

[Cowlesy]

Interestingly enough, Congressman David Price of North Carolina, running against B.J. Lawson, is a co-sponsor of this gun-grabber legislation.

I wouldn't think Republicans or Conservative Democrats would appreciate that too awfully much down there in N.C.
