Life & Work
Firearms dealers, manufacturers, and gunsmiths who specialize in semi-automatic rifles and accessories would lose a major segment of their business. Manufacturers of new semi-automatic designs would also face a costly government approval process with fees and up to 240 days of review before they could sell any new design to civilians. This effectively reshapes the entire civilian firearms market.
“Any semi-automatic firearm designed on or after the date of enactment of this section shall be required to have an approval under this subsection prior to the manufacture, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, of such firearm for sale to civilians.”
