Feinstein proposing assault weapons ban, no grandfathering

[jeff242]

Someone sent this to me, sorry if it's already been posted, but I searched and didn't see it.

Senator Feinstein looking to introduce new assault weapons ban - National Government | Examiner.com

"Dianne Feinstein’s legal staff held meetings on Friday with FTB/ATF legal staff to discuss a new “Assault Weapons Ban” Madame Feinstein would be looking to push through Congress if President Obama wins reelection.

This same “pretty good intelligence” says the items that would lead to a ban would ban pistol grips and “high-capacity” magazines, eliminate any grandfathering and ban sales of “weapons in possession”.​

Who is surprised? Biden wrote the final language of the AWB and he is VP. So all of you who thought the NRA was dumb for saying that liberals are after your guns are probably going to have to eat your words.

**** that hag.

bho, supposedly, has one written, also. Has an EXEC. order, in case that fails .....

Paging Denny347..... please respond to the red courtesy phone.

Does she have the votes in the house to push thru such a bill?

Can the President execute an Executive Order that bans certain weapons? Executive Orders cannot just make new laws.

Do you have any reason to rely on the writer of this blog?

Has he posted reliable information before?

What is his source?

I'm watching a History Channel special on ancient aliens building structures on Earth. Seems about as likely.

No grandfathering. Wow,I really wonder how many people will actually surrender their "assault weapons" to the federal government.

I'm wondering the same thing. I've done some searching and found several articles referencing this same source, but I am no familiar with that original source. Still looking...

Listed on her site as a priority is "Restoring the Assault Weapons Ban".

It doesn't talk about banning possession, just manufacturing and sale, but I wouldn't put it past her to try to prevent grandfathering.

Any truth to this? I suppose we'll find out.
Just because she wants it doesn't mean it will happen. If she'd had her way we would've been completely disarmed decades ago but she hasn't got it done.
She needs to be deported to North Korea. Permanently.

It doesn't matter if she WANTS to confiscate--if you don't think all liberals want that, then you're naive--she'll have to tone it way down to get it passed, especially with our conservative friends in the House.

It is a bad omen nonetheless.

This is the same yap from the same old hag. She's been at this for years. It comes as no surprise that this remains high on her agenda. She's one of our top enemies--even more so than our president. Gun control demons like Feinstein are going to attempt a strike while the fire is hot. It does not mean that she will succeed. Personally, I do not see this going anywhere. I do, however, see Obama using executive orders to ban guns. These orders can be a certain soft-kill to gun rights, and they will be enacted under the cover of darkness.

What assault weapon, I was in a boating accident and lost them all! Here have some bacon officer!

No grandfathering. Wow,I really wonder how many people will actually surrender their "assault weapons" to the federal government.

Well, with all the "play stupid games, win stupid prizes", "He knew the law and decided to break it", "don't do the crime if you can't do the time" posts I see here regarding many other laws, I would imagine if this law passed with no grandfathering those folks should line right up to turn 'em in. Anything else would be hypocrisy, no?

 

[ditto]

It's really helpful to see this discussed. The NRA is imploring me to call my Senator like right now. It's good to see some other perspectives. It does me twitchy though to imagine I may never get to own an AR...

Better late than never I guess.

 

[SaintsNSinners]

I will not surrender my guns.

 

[ggglobert9]

Guns??? I thought this was a cooking blog?

 

[jrogers]

You should each go find a paper bag to breathe into. Here is how this works: DF introduces an extreme bill, it fails, and she can then go tell her constituents that she tried to take those dangerous assault weapons off the streets, but that darn NRA managed to block the bill. By golly, we'll get it through next time! Vote Feinstein!

So politics as usual. Relax.
