Heads up. We need to look out for an ugly gun ban, gun show ban, 50 caliber ban, and .30-30 ban.
Maybe law enforcement in NYC or San Fran. But largely, the law enforcement community is a supporter of gun rights.
A ban of 30-30's? Have they decided lever action repeaters are assault weapons, too?
Law professors make trial lawyers. Screw them.
What DF really means is that her trial lawyer contributors oppose this
More deer have been killed by 30-30s than have been killed by Ted Kennedy's car.
Kennedy tried to ban .30-30 ammo last year.
What is the story? Post some information.
FYI
Ping
I turned on CSPAN and Feinstein was yapping about proceeding on S397, protecting the firearms industry from frivolous lawsuits.
Last year during the debate for the same bill, Ted 'the Manatee' Kennedy decided to introduce an amendment to ban all 'copkiller' ammunition. Including every single rifle round larger than .22LR. .30-30 was mentioned by name as a 'notorious armor piercing round'.
I wish it had passed, it might just get all those Elmer Fudd gun owners that don't care about anything but their hunting rifles to make a stand.

Some of the possible anti-gun amendments expected to be offered to S. 397 include:
Please help us finish the job in the U.S. Senate by contacting your U.S. Senators IMMEDIATELY and urging them to support S. 397 without any anti-gun amendments. Be sure to tell your Senators that you consider any votes for any anti-gun amendments as a vote against S. 397 itself.
(For more complete information on S. 397, and to contact your U.S. Senators, please go to http://www.nranews.org/UM/T.asp?A2.24.1788.9.15148. You may also call your U.S. Senators at (202) 224-3121. Please IMMEDIATELY share this information with everyone you know who supports the Second Amendment!)
BUSH WHITE HOUSE ONCE AGAIN SUPPORTS S. 397
Below is the Bush Administration's "Statement of Administration Policy" in support of S. 397 released today:
"The Administration strongly supports Senate passage of S. 397. The Administration urges the Senate to pass a clean bill, in order to ensure enactment of the legislation this year. Any amendment that would delay enactment of the bill beyond this year is unacceptable. The manufacturer or seller of a legal, non-defective product should not be held liable for the criminal or unlawful misuse of that product by others.
"The possibility of imposing liability on an entire industry for harm that is solely caused by others is an abuse of the legal system, erodes public confidence in our Nation's laws, threatens the diminution of a basic constitutional right and civil liberty, sets a poor precedent for other lawful industries, will cause a loss of jobs, and burdens interstate and foreign commerce. S. 397 would help curb frivolous litigation against a lawful American industry and the thousands of workers it employs and would help prevent abuse of the legal system. The bill would also safeguard our national security by preventing frivolous lawsuits against an industry that plays an important role in fulfilling our military's procurement needs. At the same time, the legislation would carefully preserve the right of individuals to have their day in court with civil liability actions. These civil actions are enumerated in the bill and respect the traditional role of the States in the Nation's Federal system with regard to such actions."
Corwyn talking about Roberts now.
That would make a great bumper sticker that most people wouldn't understand.
Oh I see, the bill is good, we have to watch out for the commie leftist amendments.
Frist up now
Well, 49% of the people anyway. DUmmies, though.
RIP, Mary Jo.
