One of the first items on the agenda for Congress in January 2013, if not the first, will be the new and even more Draconian assault weapons and magazine ban long since drafted by Dianne Feinstein, Democrat Senator from California. Here, in 1995, Dianne Feinstein explains why she would ban all private ownership of firearms if she could:
----
Moreover, THE TRANSFER TAX (REGISTRATION TAX) PER ITEM IS $200 APIECE FOR NFA ITEMS! Only, this would be a transfer from you to yourself, an extortionistic demand that you pay to keep something you have already legally purchased and responsibly owned. Its your classic example of bad lawmaking, with ex post facto overtones that would criminalize millions of law-abiding Americans.
And, Senator Feinstein, please tell the American Public what happens to these expensive firearms, these investments, after we grandfathered owners die? Will we be able to bequeath them to our children? Will we be able to sell them to afford nursing care in our old age ?
All this, let me remind you, would apparently be for your lawfully owned semiautomatic arms capable of working with a magazine of more than ten rounds. That would include the Winchester .351 rifle of 1907 and the Remington Model 8 hunting rifle patented in the year 1900, not just your AR15 or your Mini-14 Ruger Ranch Rifle. It would include the 1903 model Colt .32 pistol that saved my grandfathers life in the early 20th Century, and the WWI vintage Colt .45 pistol that sits in my gun safe at the moment. And it would include the .22 caliber Ruger 10/22 rifle you use when you take your kids to an Appleseed seminar on marksmanship and history, or just plinking at the backyard backstop.

Didn’t this gun-grabbing broad funnel defense contracts to companies controlled by her husband when she was on the Senate Armed Services Committee?
If true, Feinstein should be in prison, NOT the Senate.
She toured their Temple, she rubbed elbows with him...
The garden infront of her house needs a little trim dont you think. Messages have a way of waking her arrogance up
Blum is reported to be heavily tied to the PRC through his far east investment firm, Newbridge Capitol Corp. Blum’s partner at Newbridge, Peter Kwok, also served as a consultant to COSCO, and COSCO Hong Kong Holdings, a company owned by Chinese billionaire Li Ka-Shing. In 1989, Kwok helped CITIC and Li Ka- Shing raise $120 million to buy a HUGHES built communications satellite for a company also part owned by Chinese Generals.”
She’s a complete fraud,” says one longtime congressional staffer. “She has no interest in human rights problems in China.”
Feinstein’s romance with China dates to the 1970s, when she was mayor of San Francisco and became close friends with Jiang Zemin, then mayor of Beijing and now China’s president. In explaining her interest in U.S.-China relations, Feinstein has jokingly said, “In my last life I was Chinese.”
It is not possible to confirm this, but her passion for Beijing is more likely tied to the fact that her husband in her current life, merchant banker Richard Blum, has substantial business and real estate interests in China. He manages $750 million in investments for about 70 companies, with a large chunk of that amount tied up in China. Blum is also a director of Shanghai Pacific Partners, a major import-export firm.
“Richard C. Blum and his wife, U.S. Senator Diane Feinstein, work as a team and have made millions through varied schemes that include some questionable deals with Red China. Richard Blum gave former president Bill Clinton a lot of money in return for very lucrative business favors through the U.S. government sponsored Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC). Richard Blum was also one of the persons that Bill Clinton allowed to sleep in the Lincoln Room of the White House.
“Blum is reported to be heavily tied to the PRC through his far east investment firm, Newbridge Capitol Corp. Blum’s partner at Newbridge, Peter Kwok, also served as a consultant to COSCO, and COSCO Hong Kong Holdings, a company owned by Chinese billionaire Li Ka-Shing. In 1989, Kwok helped CITIC and Li Ka- Shing raise $120 million to buy a HUGHES built communications satellite for a company also part owned by Chinese Generals.
Her criminal husband’s corrupt company, Richie “Dirtbag” Blum, has made many, many millions on defense contracts for weapons and munitions, from insider infomation and deals. They’re both worse than slime. Both she and he should be stood against a stone wall... IMO.
The hag might as well outlaw gravity. No edict will be complied with, our 2nd amendment rights will be practiced flagrantly and openly to these statist scums. Send in your jackboots, kill innocents, and then the law of the jungle commences on traitors who violated their oath.
I’m thinking that if it does get passed, local government could pass ordinances to the contrary. Like marijuana, this would not protect individuals from federal prosecution, but in the absence of an overriding state law, it would support local Sheriffs in refusing to have anything to do with enforcement of the federal law.
SCOTUS already ruled in the Printz decision (Brady Bill) that the federal government could not compel local enforcement.
...what Leonidas said.
And there in lays the rub...
That is what they are hoping for, non-compliance so they can charge you with anything they wish, and seize your weapons.
If you make everyone a criminal, and criminals can't "legally" own firearms, you have a nation of slaves.
Diane, you are an idiot. America has a culture problem and you know it. You help breed this culture. The method of attack is irrelevant. Liberals are responsible for this. Face It, YOU are the problem.
Come and take my defense one cartridge at a time you worthless hag. Oh thats right, you’ll send your proud men in blue to do your bidding. Get away from me.
You are not a leader nor do you possess any quality to even show promise as such. Fix YOUR CULTURE dingbat. I will kill it as it threatens me.
This one’s a two-fer.. Gun control AND TAXES, TAXES, TAXES!!! I think there is a provision in 0bamacare which states that health officials can not ask you about your firearms, however. Go figure.
I drove by that house many times while I was still living in the Bay Area. No homies in that hood.
I meant the New NFA...Mags aren’t serialized...maybe we could send them to a Fed agency and get them tax stamped...say, $100 apiece?
