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

wouldn’t that be racist? /s
Imagine being the man whose duty it is to service this arrogant, little troll every night...
So mad the US re-elected Obama? I don’t think people are mad.
“Dedicated funding for ATF to implement registration”
In an era of trillion dollar federal deficits, this raises a question of best use of finite government resources. If history is any guide, few people who already own any of the estimated 100 million such magazines in private hands can be expected to turn them in. Aren’t we better off allocating our money to improve school safety rather than fund a war on newly-outlawed firearm accessories?
I would remind people that while we are now having a “national conversation” on firearms regulations, we have yet to have a similar conversation about what changes we must make to the treatment of citizens with mental health issues, not to mention how we are going to fund any changes that we decide to make.
I would also remind people that the ATFE is a dangerously dysfunctional agency. The have had immense problems with the integrity of the NFA registry and have caused people a lot of expense and possible criminal prosecution due to their incompetence. The horror stories would send chills up your spine.
Her bill is clearly meant to be filed and not much else. Even so, strange (and mostly bad) things happen when nobody is watching.
Let’s hope they get a vote on it so we have them on record prior to the 2014 midterms.
Pardon the correction, but this is one of the largest falsehoods spread across the internet. It was the Weimar regime in 1928 that registered, banned, then confiscated weapons. They did so in an effort to prevent the rise of the SA Voran "Brown Shirts" which were the National Socialist Party.
The 1928 law was subsequently extended in 1938 under the Third Reich (this action being the principal point in support of the contention that the Nazis were advocates of gun control). However, the Nazis were firmly in control of Germany at the time the Weapons Law of 1938 was created. Further, this law was not passed by a legislative body, but was promulgated under the dictatorial power granted Hitler in 1933.

What we can see here is a more sadistic version of what happened in 1928 and subsequently 1933. Sen. Feinstein and her ilk are hell-bent on subjugating the citizens of these United States and would be one of the first to grant dictatorial powers to her saviour BHO.
Thank you for the correction!
Next time, I will make a better argument premised upon more accurate information!
Nice Biblical infusion.
That was Barbara Boxer.
The one characteristic will be that Feinstein thinks it looks like an assault weapon.
Yeah .... Obama supposedly had little chance of being re-elected too.
DOA.
Looks like this bit of news on Drudge single handedly killed a Sturm Ruger rally today. Damn!
i hope it is but don’t trust em.
It’s not meant to pass. It’s meant for bargaining. The GOP feels like they need to do something. 20 dead kids guarantees something will be done. They’ll pass a watered down version that will still take a big chunk out of our rights. The next time a bunch of kids get killed by some loony lefty, a bigger chunk will be taken.
Might as well use the source of all truth as it applies.
I want to see a list of what weapons are on the banned list, it better not have the word Glock anyplace on it.
The argument was well met and the parallels are striking if not a bit twisted in their delivery. I simply find the need for accuracy in the argument to be paramount because liberals will use any inaccuracy against us.
It’s their first offer. The RINOs will counter. Hi cap mags, bulk ammo, Black rifles, registration, money for buy back. They’ll take out all the registration for existing owners. Some crap like that.
DiFi’s last AWB gave us the Republican Revolution of 1994.
