So it begins. House Democrats introduced the Assault Weapons Ban of 2018 on Monday 02/26/2018. Put forward by Reps. David Cicilline (D-RI) and Ted Deutch (D-FL), and signed by more than 150 other Democrats, the legislation would make it “unlawful for a person to import, sell, manufacture, transfer, or possess, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, a semiautomatic assault weapon.”
There's much more to this Bill than what's copied/pasted below. To view it in it's entirety, the link to this Bill is provided at the bottom of the page...
