Yes that was part of it. They were also proposing that primers should be made to self deactivate after three years. If the politicians think the reaction to the first AWB was bad, they have no idea of what the people will do this time around. I'm not referring to what guns will do, but what the votes will do. There is a reason why the original AWB was not extended another ten years. I always figured an assault weapon was one used in an assault, watching folks that learned about guns from Batman movies define an assault weapon... well I'll hold my words.
