Reading the proposed CA expansion of the Assault Weapon law and the way it’s written it even bans low capacity 3 and 4 round capacity semi-auto hunting rifles like the Browning BAR, Benelli R1, Remington Woodmaster and the out of production HK 940 I just put money down on.

I’m not sure what to say, I don’t want to oppose intelligent gun control efforts but this is so broad, and totally ignores the concealability of handguns. Basically the change makes it so any semi auto centerfire rifle with a detachable magazine is bad, no matter how small its capacity or if it was designed for hunting and only ever marketed for that purpose. However any semi auto rifle with a ten round or less fixed internal mag is okay even if it was explicitly designed for warfare, and can be reloaded super fast like the Garand and the M1941 Johnson.
