Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) is citing “domestic terrorism” concerns in her latest push to ban AR-15s and other commonly owned semiautomatic rifles.
Breitbart News noted Feinstein’s new ban, the “Assault Weapons Ban of 2021,” was put forward Thursday with at least 34 Senate Democrat co-sponsors.
The bill is designed to ban 205 different firearms, including different variants of the wildly popular AR-15 rifle.
The New York Post reports Feinstein is citing “domestic terrorism” as an impetus for the ban. She said, “We’re now seeing a rise in domestic terrorism, and military-style assault weapons are increasingly becoming the guns of choice for these dangerous groups.”
Feinstein’s legislation would also ban ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
On November 7, 2020, Breitbart News pointed to National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) figures showing Americans own more than 71 million pistol magazines capable of holding more than ten rounds and “79.2 million rifle magazines capable of holding 30 or more rounds.”
The NSSF figures indicate that Americans own nearly 20 million modern sporting rifles, which are firearms that the Democrats categorize as “assault weapons.”
Feinstein’s office released a supplemental fact sheet on her “assault weapons” ban, claiming said firearms are “weapons designed for war [that] have no place on the streets of a civilized society.”

God’s had enough of us. We’re on our own with this mess.
You would think Pols would be more concerned with those owning bolt action single shot rifles with optics like Lee Harvey used instead of scary black glorified .22’s.
No
That would play right into the narrative
It would be spun by the MSM endlessly
Heaven help us if we let them take our weapons.
“A chance of clouds, with lightly scattered Commie swine.”
Where most gun violence is with handguns.
Why so concerned DiFi?
Expecting economic collapse or something?
“We’re now seeing a rise in domestic terrorism, and military-style assault weapons are increasingly becoming the guns of choice for these dangerous groups.”
Just one instance; just one...

Yes, but a good gun-banner will tell you that swimming pools are useful and AR15s have no redeeming social values. IOW, they know what you need and don’t need. Aren’t you lucky?
Right wing terrorism is as invisible as the easter bunny. no caps on purpose
Uh, 1/6/2021 and the heavily armed ass-salt on the capitol. How soon we forget............... :-)
And just like Santa.
Oh yeah, I forgot all about that.
One needs to look at the Congress for the real “Domestic Terrorism”........every damn one of them except for a few and y’all know who it is......;(
Democratic party terrorism says we had best keep those AR-15s. We’re going to need to use them. Since they don’t want us armed, what are they going to be doing where they think we’ll use them?
Not true. Swimming pools kill tens of millions of bees, insects, lizards etc, and they use massive amounts of water in drought plagued regions, and the take significant amount of power to heat these killing pools, not to mention all the humans drowning in them.
I think if we really want to decrease gun violence, we need to build more prisons but good luck getting a democrat to put his/her name on that bill.
It’s just the start , just wait for Gun Owner’s Gulag
Re the 20 year employment of a Chinese spy as her personal chauffeur: imho: her chauffeur escaped back to China and DiFi is still the criminal Senator she always was. She is the epitome of a treasonous DC politician. It’s a no brainer why she wants to disarm Americans. Imho it’s because she and her criminal establishment cabal in DC want total power thus they fear retaliation for their treasonous activities with China et al, and their establishment deep state cabal’s complicity in stealing the 2020 election. If I’m wrong, I’m sure it’s not by much.
