Our fight began in 1999 when Senator Diane Feinstein made her first attempt to ban .50 caliber rifles. A fledgeling FCSPI rose to the challenge and won. To date at the federal level, we have successfully defeated proposed bans in the the 106th, 107th and 108th Congress. Now the battle has spread nationwide. The anti-gun lobbyists are forum shopping an looking for the best locations that their agenda can be spread. FCI will fight for your rights as long as we can, but we need your support to continue.

House Bill 1852:
HB 1852 creates an "Anti-Terrorist Weapons Public Safety Act" that mirrors the existing regulation of machine guns. The Act would regulate the sale, use, and possession of assault weapons, defined as .50 BMG sniper rifles and .50 caliber assault rifles. It would be a Class 2 felony to possess or use an assault weapon in the perpetration of a crime of violence and a Class 4 felony to use an assault weapon for an offensive or aggressive purpose.

This bill has been passed by indefinitely in the Military, Police & Public Safety Committee in the VA Legislature. This bill is not a threat at this time.
