Feinstein And Friends Quietly Introduce a Major Gun Control Bill During the Shutdown
townhall.com ^ | Jan. 10, 2019 | Beth Baumann

California Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D) on Wednesday introduced legislation to, once again, push another assault weapons ban, similar to legislation that passed back in 1994.

~~~~SNIP~~~~

Key provisions:

Bans the sale, manufacture, transfer and importation of 205 military-style assault weapons by name. Owners may keep existing weapons.

Bans any assault weapon that accepts a detachable ammunition magazine and has one or more military characteristics including a pistol grip, a forward grip, a barrel shroud, a threaded barrel or a folding or telescoping stock. Owners may keep existing weapons.

Bans magazines and other ammunition feeding devices that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition, which allow shooters to quickly fire many rounds without needing to reload. Owners may keep existing magazines.

Exemptions to bill:

The bill exempts by name more than 2,200 guns for hunting, household defense or recreational purposes. The bill includes a grandfather clause that exempts all weapons lawfully possessed at the date of enactment.

Other provisions:

Requires a background check on any future sale, trade or gifting of an assault weapon covered by the bill.

Requires that grandfathered assault weapons are stored using a secure gun storage or safety device like a trigger lock.

Prohibits the transfer of high-capacity ammunition magazines.

Bans bump-fire stocks and other devices that allow semi-automatic weapons to fire at fully automatic rates.

She looks like a villain from a Batman movie ...

She clearly plans to do worse to us than a Batman villain would do.

And that’s why the Second Amendment was written ...

Come and take them, Dianne.

She won't. She's an evil, vicious, backstabbing, power-lusting, communist coward.

She'll hire armed goons to come and take them.

1) It’s just plain ARmalite.

2) “Assault weapon” is a term defined by communist politicians in America in various pieces of anti-constitutional legislation. It should not be confused with

3) “Assault rifle”, a translation of “sturmgewehr”, which does refer specifically to a carbine capable of automatic fire.

Heh, I did the same thing right before CO's 15 rd. mag limit went into effect. If I fully loaded all my mags for my SKS I wouldn't be able to carry them. Well, I wouldn't want to carry them all. Gotta leave room in the pack for a bottle of water and some Clif Bars.

Thank you, grandfather(ing)! And thank you Tapco and ProMag for molding the year, month, day & hour of manufacture on your mags so there will never be an argument about it. lol

That pic right there of that lower receiver is worth a thousand words, if not more.
THAT, my FR friends, are what they’re totally scared spitless over: a complete and utter lack of “control” of firearms. The communists cannot control an armed populace...at least not for long.

This is bait for Trump

They will give him a token wall, if he disarms the civilian supporters.

The only question is if Trump will make the deal or not.

It’s just plain ARmalite.

Thank you! When Mark Westrom ran the company, they used 'AR stands for ArmaLite' (or something very similar) as an advertising slogan - and a reminder of the company's history. The current owners, and other folks who claim 'AR means ArmaLite rifle', apparently never heard of the AR9 (shotgun), AR17 (shotgun), or AR24 (handgun)...
