During a lengthy and at times emotionally wrenching news conference, Senator Dianne Feinstein of California on Thursday announced legislation that would ban the sale and manufacture of 157 types of semiautomatic weapons, as well as magazines holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition.
The bill, which Ms. Feinstein said she would introduce in the Senate on Thursday afternoon, would exempt firearms used for hunting and would grandfather in certain guns and magazines. The goal of the bill, she said, would be to dry up the supply of these weapons over time.
Surrounded by victims of gun violence, colleagues in the Senate and House and several law enforcement officials, and standing near a peg board with 10 large guns attached, Ms. Feinstein acknowledged the difficulty in pursuing such legislation, even when harnessing the shock and grief over the shooting of 20 schoolchildren in Newtown, Conn., last month. This is really an uphill road, Ms. Feinstein said.

I think I’ll buy a can of spray paint and paint my black guns OD green or some other color...that way they won’t look evil!
Did they publish the list of weapons? I want to see how many of ours are on her hit list.
Someone in congress should start articles of impeachment on Feinstein and Schumer for violating their oath of office. Put extra pages for adding additional names to the list. Run these SOB’s out of office, out of town and back to the communist rocks they crawled out from under. I despise these people when every fiber of my being.
Get this straight okay, SHE IS NOT AN IDIOT, And she understands exactly what the Constitution says and means, SHE IS EVIL, MORALLY BANKRUPT, ETHICALLY CORRUPT, and DOESN”T CARE ABOUT the Constitution. She has spent her entire Life tearing down the US Constitution and dismantling The AMERICAN WAY for Her Own Despotic Power trip. The reality is, that NOBODY in Congress gives a damn about We the People, and we are just obstacles in the way of their utopian socialist wet dream. Never forget that the difference between “socialism” and “communism” is the same as the difference between “Seduction” and “RAPE”, in the end you still got screwed.
Yeah, but in order to do that we’d need a party of elected Representatives and Senators actively upholding the Constitution in the face of what she’s doing.
That whole “Evil Party” / “Stupid Party” joke wasn’t actually a joke; it was stone-cold Reality slapping us all upside the head.
The Constitution has all bout NOBODY in elected office in Washington to defend it. Those few who do exist are not numerous enough, nor influential enough to matter a whit.
I have grave forebodings that this could easily percolate down to where “We, The People” are forced to stand and demonstrate the raison d’être for the Second amendment. I’ve seen a few local Sheriffs get their backs up and declare their opposition to this, and their refusal to enforce it within their jurisdictions. We’ll see how that shakes out. Either local law enforcement, and — maybe — entire States — will stand up between FedGov and The People to resist this advance of tyranny, or else...
And I don’t want to think too much about the “or else...”
This is really an uphill road, Ms. Feinstein said.
There is a reason for that, you unconstitutional Bitch.
The harder you push, the more uphill it will get until
we roll down on you like a mighty river.
Bayonet lugs make rifles more lethal?
Folding stocks make rifles more lethal?
A pistol grip make rifles more lethal?
Where would the liberal media be without their lies?
