notice retired law enforcement gets whatever their old department will let them have and present law enforcement is totally excluded from the ban. At least that is how I read it. May have been the case before, but I didn't notice last time through.

In the tube magazine exception it is limited to .22 rimfires, what about smaller caliber rimfires?

Also why are they specifying bolt, lever, and break action rifles that are excepted? Don't they have to be semi-auto to be banned? What am I missing? There has to be an angle on restricting those actions also.

I would also love to know what Browning did to get their rifles exempted. I doubt they just said, well $3,000 rifles aren't used in crime so we won't ban the browning rifles.
