All politicians who vote for firearm laws deemed unconstitutional should be removed from office and barred for any government positions for life.

Ridiculous that this bill is being considered.  Funny that these same low IQ clowns aren't concerned with the 70,000 drug deaths caused by an open border.

It's  not about our safety it's about the new Nazi Democrat Party destroying our Constitution little by little. Put a mustache on Ferguson and he makes a good stand in weasel  for Hitler.

I hope Ferguson personally comes to get mine....

Hard to believe it was just a few years ago that we were able to get SBRs and Suppressors legalized.  Hopefully, Aeroprecision will move here to Idaho rather than just closing shop.

Two D's voted against. Rule and Shavers. Otherwise, voted along party lines as expected.

Why would Aero close shop?

Illegal to manufacture in the state. It’s noted in the article

I didn’t see anything about unserialized components?

So how long will it take for the senate to pass this?

If it comes to that , he and his running mates will be down stairs in their hide shivering.

Its for new sales, not a confiscation...
They may be dumb, but they aren't that dumb (yet).

I'd like to know why our AG is pushing legislation.

The AG office should be completely neutral on this, and all things legal in this state.
At any moment he could be in court defending laws in favor of "assault weapons" sales in this state.

Have you read the bill?

No person in this state may manufacture, import, distribute, sell, or offer for sale any assault weapon, except as authorized in this section (goes on to list law enforcement, military, transfer to direct family upon death, etc)

(2)(a) "Assault weapon" means: (goes on to list virtually every semi auto rifle including AK-47 in all forms, AR-15 in all forms, etc.)

(ii) A semiautomatic rifle that has an overall length of less than 30 inches;

(iii) A conversion kit, part, or combination of parts, from which an assault weapon can be assembled or from which a firearm can be converted into an assault weapon if those parts are in the possession or under the control of the same person; or(iv) A semiautomatic, center fire rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and has one or more of the following: (goes on to list pistol grips, thumbhole stocks, folding stocks, suppressors, flash hiders, muzzle brakes, threaded barrels, grenade launchers (), foregrips, and on and on including some semi-auto pistol and semi-auto shotgun restrictions)

I'm no lawyer, but even if this would still allow you to buy parts what company is going to take the risk and ship them here? Aero could possibly still manufacturer here and distribute in other states. Maybe they'll be the injured party that brings the lawsuit that puts an injunction on the whole thing. Or they move to a state where they don't have to deal with this BS every year.

Guess I will be encouraging my kids to move to a free state.  :'(
