The Snopes quote is misleading, the bill exists, it has existed for many years under many names but has the public support of two members of Congress....
As sinister as this administration is, I don't think they would publicly come out and support this, and it doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of passing. I am more worried about a new "Scary looking weapons ban" or some sort of magazine ban in the lame duck congress than this. New Assault weapons are already banned, and legal, registered NFA assault weapons are very expensive, and NOT on the streets, they are in the hands of collectors and competitors.
Snopes if very left leaning, but they got this one right if you read the page in context.
