Senate Democrats introduced legislation that would ban 205 “assault weapons” Thursday, just hours after the House passed two other gun control bills.
Introduced by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), the legislation called the “Assault Weapons Ban of 2021” would also outlaw magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds and is co-sponsored by 34 other Senate Democrats.
According to a press release from Feinstein, the bill “bans any assault weapon with the capacity to utilize a magazine that is not a fixed 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.”
Some of the firearms listed in the proposed ban are “All AR types,” “All UZI types,” Beretta CX4, Sig Sauer P556 pistol, as well as belt-fed semi-autos.
Current owners of the “assault weapons” listed in the legislation would be allowed to keep them, but any private transfers would require an FBI background check prior to receiving the firearm.
Additionally, the bill prohibits bump stocks, which have already been illegal since March 26, 2019.
“It’s been 17 years since the original Assault Weapons Ban expired, and the plague of gun violence continues to grow in this country. To be clear, this bill saves lives,” Feinstein said in her announcement of the bill. “When it was in place from 1994-2004, gun massacres declined by 37 percent compared with the decade before. After the ban expired, the number of massacres rose by 183 percent.”

Here we go again; the Ugly Gun Bill...
Stealing elections have consequences.
No mind, tho’. The more they do, the more the pendulum swings back on them. Tick Tock...
NCSWIC.
Except now they are importing millions of new voters
Feinsten is such a dope.
all of the things mentioned in the bill, I simply will not do.
They only have power if you give it to them.
We need an “Assault Politicians Ban”.
It would outlaw all politicians capable of ignoring or subverting the Constitution of the United States of America.
It would apply to all models of Democrat politicians, and to Uniparty models of Republican politicians.
Good idea !
Now all they need is another tragedy to occur.
And while they may not admit it, I’m certain they’d want it to be truly horrifying so they can ramrod their regulation through.
And they cheat...
“Now all they need is another tragedy to occur.”
They’ve been trying with queer and racist buggery run amuck in our schools. Didn’t work.
They’ve been trying with BLM and AF rioting, looting and burning. Didn’t work.
Now, they’re trying open border flooding.
SO, I guess their choice is WAR. So be it.
Yes sir. A bridge too far.
That appears to be the case.
Yes, it is.
The only way is the military. Fully controlled.

I have predicted a tree watering in the next few years.
Unlike the ‘09-’04 stupidity, this one bans the sale of hi-cap mags.
My order of 15 round Meg-Cars shipped yesterday.
The bill will not likely survive the senate, but do you really put you 2nd amend rights in the hands of uniparty RINOs?
‘09 = ‘04.
Democrats in 2019: We aren’t going to ban guns. That’s just conspiracy nonsense.
Democrats in 2021: We are going to ban guns.
‘09 = ‘04.
Not if they pass that voter’s rights bill. We’re done for if that gets passed.
