Dianne Feinstein Cites ‘Domestic Terrorism’ Concerns in Push to Ban AR-15s

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.”

Of course not - those things are mostly peaceful.

Eventually, they will.

But, by then, “Pandora’s Box” will have been fully opened.

Yes. For decades, they've been showing threats and talk about civil war from social media to many billionaires and multi-millionaires and have received billions of dollars for their campaign funds with demands to ban firearms. Idiots (and probably some trolls from the other side) continue to oblige them by being blowhards.

DiFi is exactly why we have 2A.
But will enough of us use it as intended?
Probably not.

Feinstein is pushing the gun control issue to dovetail with HR1 along with Sarbannes. This seems to be a programmed move to completely destroy Conservatives for the New World Order and centralized Socialist government the Dems so desperately want. The Conservatives will have no teeth to fight back with if both are successful.

Did the old c__t mention anything about the domestic terrorist Andrew Cuomo? Or was she also a Cuomosexual caught up in his charm?

Did she mention how he shut out the families so he could more easily herd/railroad innocent seniors into their death chambers?

Some probably in wheel chairs, others using walkers unable to escape the low-life bastards that put them there.

I see you have taken out Lincoln.

That should buy a few more days than the rest of us.

Yes a march on D.C. with weapons would fulfill yet another "narrative".

Semis aren’t allowed in many States. In others, caliber restrictions eliminate the 5.56/.223 round. Another advantage of the AR platform is the ability to step up to a legal caliber with a switch of upper receiver assemblies.
