According to today's Ammoland Shooting Sports News Service, the proposed new Assault Weapons Ban For Pistols And Shotguns bill even takes aim at airguns!
Apparently this bill - the Assault Weapons Ban of 2018 (H.R.5087) - is co-sponsored by 150 Democrats. Among its provisions is said to be the following:
'The bill would label any pellet fired from a pellet gun with more than 4oz of air “a rocket.” It would further ban any air gun with more than 4oz of air as an assault weapon.'
Rockets are, of course, banned...
Here's a link to the story. https://www.ammoland.com/2018/02/new-assault-weapons-ban-pistols-shotguns/#ixzz58QtgkkmV
I've not had time to research this further, but it certainly sounds frightening.
