Looked more into it. You're right, the AP does support they have it. But you have to admit it was suspiciously convenient.
However, as it has been pointed out, the document has nothing to do with any policy or anything regarding what the NRA is raving about.
Why is everyone focusing on tge NRA... the NRA was not and will never be part of my thoughts on the issue of guns.
Because they're the ones who acquired the memo, which was very suspect. And they're the ones framing how right-wingers are looking at this memo.
This memo was nothing more than an investigation into ideas.
Aristotle said:It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
Since assault weapons are not a major contributor to US gun homicide and the existing stock of guns is large, an assault weapon ban is unlikely to have an impact on gun violence.
So, how, legally would you be able to keep your "excessive" magazine?
The DOJ memo is very simply saying, "If we have an AWB, we also need to fund a massive assault weapon and large capacity magazine buyback program to go with it. Otherwise, another AWB like the last AWB will be as ineffective as the last one was."
It's as simple as that.
The NRA fuck then tells the rubes, "OBAMAZ CUMMIN FER YER GUNSZ!!! MANDATORY CONFISKASHUN!" because they fall for it. Every. Single. Time.
This gets the rubes lining up at Town Hall meeting with their representatives, demanding they stop Obama from coming into their homes to take their guns.

A few nut jobs in Missouri do not represent Obama and his administration.

And that wording only applies to assault weapons!Here is the context of the DOJ memo. In the 90s, an assault weapons ban was passed by Congress. However, that AWB did not ban the resale of existing assault weapons and large capacity magazines. It only banned the manufacture, sale, and importation of NEW assault weapons and large capacity magazines.
Since there were already millions of existing assault weapons and large capacity magazines, the AWB had virtually no impact on a person's ability to acquire assault weapons or large capacity magazines after the act was passed.
That is where the Feinstein clip comes in at the end of the OP link. She told 60 Minutes that if it were up to her, she would have made the confiscation of all existing assault weapons part of the AWB to make it more effective in getting assault weapons off the street.
The DOJ memo IS NOT RECOMMENDING THIS COURSE OF ACTION. Read it and see for yourself.
What the DOJ memo recommends is that if you are going to ban the manufacture, sale, and importation of new assault weapons alone, then such an AWB will be as ineffective as the last one was. Therefore, they recommend such an AWB be coupled with an assalt weapons buyback program to remove existing assault weapons from the streets.
No confiscation. A gun buyback program.
If you are so retarded that you confuse an assault weapons buyback program with a "mandatory confiscation" of ALL guns, you are a fucking, fucking, fucking idiot.
The actual term used in the report was a "buyback program with no exemptions," which is a weasely way to say "confiscation, but we pay you for your guns"
Is the report official policy? No. Is it an indication of what gun control adherents are leaning towards? I say yes.
Since assault weapons are not a major contributor to US gun homicide and the existing stock of guns is
large, an assault weapon ban is unlikely to have an impact on gun violence. If coupled with a gun
buyback and no exemptions then it could be effective.
