Feinstein's proposed gun ban

http://www.feinstein.senate.gov/p...lt-weapons

Among the highlights of Feinstein's :oldhag: proposed bill:

• ban rifles, handguns, shotguns with one 'military characteristic'
• ban >10 round magazines
• grandfathered pre-ban weapons must be registered as NFA items with the owners photographed and fingerprinted (*cough* un-Constitutional *cough*)
• banning thumbhole stocks :pointless:

Quote : 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

Not sure what those are

Wow. I wonder if this was posted on Drudge Report yet?

A man who doesn't know a magazine from a PVC pipe is writing the bill???

Man, we're in trouble.

Feinstein is a woman. She just looks like a man.

I am more concerned that a woman who doesn't know how to safely handle a firearm is writing this bill.



Note the finger on the trigger when not intending to shoot something. That is the universal sign for "I am an idiot who does not know how to safely handle a firearm. Stay away!"

Anybody know what a military characteristic is for a handgun or shotgun? AFAIK, military pistols and shotguns are identical to civilian pistols and shotguns, minus the visible trademarks.

"Requires that grandfathered weapons be registered under the National Firearms Act, to include:" means a $200 fee plus registration charges for each firearm. There are also very strict transportation regulations for transporting NFA firearms. This will be used to entrap and seize.

It doesn't matter though, the bill will not pass. It will get hung up in the House and then Obama will pass a worse one that includes confiscation via executive order "because it is the right thing to do". If it looks like the effort is stalling, there WILL be another event.

If there are any patriots left, the only hope is that a state like TX secedes and that snowballs into other states following suit. Not a lot of chance for that since any serious attempt to do that would be met with behind the scenes coercion.

TIP: Sell everything you own and buy gold. Make sure it is secured!

They protect our rights by "allowing us" to submit our fingerprints, photo IDs, etc for guns we legally own already. No word on if we can keep our normal capacity mags, I guess.

This shit isn't gonna pass, at least as-is. I guarantee anyone voting for this bill would end their political career the moment they hit that "Yea" button.

Wow. So much irrationality in so few words.

This was likely the starting point of negotiations.

Precisely. Anybody who knows how to negotiate whatsoever knows you don't go in first with you best offer. You low ball, they high ball and you meet somewhere in the middle.

That's like having a member of the KKK write a civil rights bill.

She can ban all of it as long as I keep my energy swords and rocket launchers.

I think "military characteristic" means "anything with a trigger."
