Was at the committee meeting.  HRA switched positions and opposed the bill.   Committee deferred the bill (which places it in limbo if I understand the process right)

I'm glad that they changed their mind. I sent Dr. Cooper an email but figured that it was already too late. Maybe they were able to take a look at the NRA-ILA testimony before. Good news, though.

yes, deferring the bill means it will not go to the floor for a vote
some or all of the bill can be added in the future to other bills, so we still need to be vigilant

Dr. Cooper indicated in his testimony that the bill would effectively ban all modern firearms.  He also said that digital milling technology is used to produce parts for antique firearms as well.

After reading the bill, that is the conclusion I can up with as well.  I opposed.

I sure hope that this great opposition to gun control gives them pause about resurrecting the AWB bills that where differed last year.

i believe the AWB bills that were deferred from 2013 are not scheduled for committee
this means they are not able to be brought to the floor
the provisions in the AWB can be added to any bill at any time, so we still need to be vigilant
