Her bill would be an outright ban on certain weapons and all hi-cap mags. No grandfathering, no posession. It would require turning these in or having them confiscated and/or likely a felony to be caught in possession.

And since when is a .223 rifle an "assault" weapon??

“Her bill would be an outright ban on certain weapons and all hi-cap mags. No grandfathering, no posession. It would require turning these in or having them confiscated and/or likely a felony to be caught in possession.”
If she is accurate in that the proposed bill will be written prospectively and not retroactively then it will be a de-facto grandfathering of previously possessed weapons and magazines.

A retroactively effective law is an Ex Post Facto Law and violates Article I, Section 9, Clause 3, and Section 10, Clause 1, of the U.S. Constitution.

No grandfathering, no posession. It would require turning these in or having them confiscated and/or likely a felony to be caught in possession. I thought the quote plainly says "not retroactively". Not that I believe her, but that's what it says.

Well ... the House 'O Reps ain't gonna vote for her proposal. By the way, this would make a great Xmas present.

Her bill would be an outright ban on certain weapons and all hi-cap mags. No grandfathering, no posession. It would require turning these in or having them confiscated and/or likely a felony to be caught in possession. That would not be inconsistent with her previously stated totalitarian views:
"If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them . . . Mr. and Mrs. America, turn 'em all in, I would have done it. I could not do that. The votes weren't here."
- Senator D. Feinstein, CBS-TV's 60 Minutes, February 5, 1995
(Anyone ever consider the countless positive aspects of giving California back to the Mexicans? We could do it 'for the children,' and as 'long-delayed justice' and repayment for our 'racist past.' As a completely unintended consequence, of course, we would be rid of Senators Feinstein and Boxer, and the entire California congressional delegation. Food for thought... ;>)
