First off this legislation would be tossed out by the supreme court. Second, it's nothing new. There have been plenty attempts to ban guns.

Private gun ownership is in no danger. There is no such thing as an "assault rifle", and while the USSC does acknowledge the fact that gun ownership is an individual right, they also believe the government has the authority to regulate gun ownership and place limits on gun ownership.

This is absurd because a right is something we don't require permission to do. Our rights don't come from government, so government has no authority to regulate, curtail, or limit them.
