Stopping the spread of deadly assault weapons--summary of Feinstein Bill, incl. registry requirement

United States Senate ^ | 12/27/2012 | Dianne Feinstein

[driftdiver]

In January, Senator Feinstein will introduce a bill to stop the sale, transfer, importation and manufacturing of military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition feeding devises.

Following is a summary of the 2013 legislation:

Bans the sale, transfer, importation, or manufacturing of:

-120 specifically-named firearms -Certain other semiautomatic rifles, handguns, shotguns that can accept a detachable magazine and have one military characteristic -Semiautomatic rifles and handguns with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10 rounds

[DTogo]

Requires that grandfathered weapons be registered under the National Firearms Act, to include:
- Background check of owner and any transferee;
- Type and serial number of the firearm;
- Positive identification, including photograph and fingerprint;
- Certification from local law enforcement of identity and that possession would not violate State or local law; and
- Dedicated funding for ATF to implement registration

Feinstein is seriously pushing for a Lexington & Concord moment.

Should have read:

I remember back in the early 80's in California you had to show ID and give a finger print just to buy ammo

[Sleeping Freeper]

This ought to be in breaking...

[SauronOfMordor]

This a standard Dem ploy. Demand everything and “compromise” on half of what they demand. Then come back for the rest later.

The tyrant will have the organizational advantage. Once the guns have been registered, they will be able to deploy overwhelming force to reduce centers of resistance one-by-one. Resistance will be futile (to quote a fictional tyranny) for any armed individual opposed to the New Order.

This is the same method the Nazi’s used, of course. Registration first - but you may keep your guns. Confiscation second - now that we know what you have, you have no choice except to hand it over.

Thanks to indoctrination in government schools we have whole generations who think the second amendment is to protect our rights to hunt squirrels instead of government tyrants.

I thought the same. “Oh look, it’s black and has a sight on it. Two military characteristics. BAN IT!”

I’d rather stop the spread of Senator ‘I’ve worked hard for that title’ Dianne Feinstein.

You're getting your idiot liberal California senators mixed up.

But I agree, this turkey-necked octogenarian needs to be stopped.

[Iron Munro]

I’d rather stop the spread of Senator ‘I’ve worked hard for that title’ Dianne Feinstein.

I believe you have the two moronic California senators mixed up (easy to do).

It was Barbara (dumb as a box of hammers) Boxer who uttered those immortal words.

[Fee]

GOP in Congress need to remind CA reps and senators that their state is in financial trouble. Start screwing with our core values and kiss future aid to state when it hits financial cliff goodbye. Make sure CA dies financially. If CA silicon valley screams, tell them to move to NV or TX!

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

***I don’t recall getting fingerprinted when I purchased my firearms.***

I used to get fingerprinted to buy a gun in Tulsa, OK years ago. OKC was worse.

They finally realized fingerprinting did nothing so stopped it.

[Solson]

BTTT

[Smokin' Joe]

So DiFi wants positive ID to keep something you may already own, but not to vote???

These people are all over the map.

I think we need to ban assault democrats.

[Rusty0604]

That was Barbara Boxer

[Rusty0604]

That was Barbara Boxer

I’m catching a drift that per usual with the reactionary type that get their info from the paycheck conservatives about this bill (”I obey authority”).

Here is the deal folks, Feinswine and her gaggle of idiots are desperate for the payceck CONservatives to sign on to any of this, got it? This whole bill is a joke begging to be ignored like my above samples.

The best the anti-gunners can do is to get cooperation from the paychecks, the second best they can do is shut down the gun industry and turn us into Mexico or Jamaica where the criminals and the state do the gunning (but guns are ever present)

Correction accepted.

Please see # 30 above.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

DiFi's bill is DOA.
