mrmako777 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 i find this rather hypocritical...Diane Feinstein: I know the sense of helplessness that people feel, I know the urge to arm yourself, because that's what I did. I was trained in firearms. I walked to the hospital when my husband was sick, I carried a concealed weapon. I made the determination that if someone was going to try to take me out, I was going to take them with me.http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/01/25/Feinstein-1995-I-Understand-The-Urge-To-Arm-Yourself-Because-That-s-What-I-Did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gump Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Agree....This bring on the money thing is funny but not really.

Scruit Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 We have some of the bill's wording now:http://www.nraila.org/news-issues/articles/2013/1/feinstein-introduces-massive-semi-auto-firearm-and-magazine-ban.aspxBan the sale, transfer, manufacture or importation of 157 named firearms. Presumably, these were chosen by looking at pictures, as Sen. Feinstein has said she did before introducing her first legislation on the issue in 1993.Ban all semi-automatic rifles that can accept a detachable magazine. This is because the bill would ban any semi-automatic detachable-magazine rifle that has even one "feature," particularly a pistol grip—which is defined to include any "characteristic that can function as a grip." Other features that would cause a rifle to be banned include a forward grip; folding, telescoping, or detachable stock; grenade launcher or (as an absurd propaganda move) rocket launcher; barrel shroud; or a threaded barrel. Ban all detachable-magazine semi-auto pistols that have any of the following: a threaded barrel, second pistol grip, or magazine that mounts anywhere other than the grip. The bill would also ban any handgun that is a semi-automatic version of a fully automatic handgun.Ban all semi-automatic rifles and handguns that have fixed magazines that accept more then 10 rounds.Ban all semi-automatic shotguns that have just one of the following: a folding, telescoping, or detachable stock; a pistol grip; a fixed magazine that can accept more than five rounds, a detachable magazine; a forward grip; a revolving cylinder; or a grenade or rocket launcher. As with the rifle provision, this could potentially ban any semi-auto shotgun, because all of them have "characteristics that can function as a grip." And of course, countless Americans have pistol-grip shotguns for home defense.Ban all belt-fed semi-automatic firearms, such as semi-auto replicas of historic machine guns.Ban all frames or receivers of banned guns, even though in many cases they are identical to the frames and receivers of guns that would not be banned.Ban "combinations of parts" from which "assault weapons" can be assembled. Read broadly, this could ban the acquisition of a single spare part that could be combined with parts you already own.Ban any "part, combination of parts, component, device, attachment, or accessory that is designed or functions to accelerate the rate of fire of a semiautomatic rifle"--a vague definition that could ban items such as competition trigger parts.Ban the sale or transfer of all ammunition feeding devices that hold more than ten rounds. Even those lawfully possessed before passage of the bill could never be transferred, even to your heirs through a will.With no registration, how can you prove you owned a your rifle before the ban was implemented? I know that new rifles will be stamped with date of manufacture, but preban guns have no date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Also - she will ban "characteristic that function as a grip".Look at this:http://www.hallowellco.com/grip.htm#Grip%20StylesA grip is the bit where your trigger hand holds the rifle. All rifles have a grip. This bill, as worded, would ban all detachable-mag semis.I'm looking for the bullet-button wording now... Get around the detachable-mag thing and the rest of irrelevant.

ReconRat Posted January 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Yeah, I noticed the bit about the grip. I'm waiting for the official release. Everything I've looked at so far, each has different wording. Apparently it's constantly edited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cOoTeR Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Sounds like I should sell 90% of what's in my safe or near my bed. This is a load of crap. The worst part is the fact that all four guns I am authorized to carry at work to assist me in protecting the Constitution will be banned for the citizens of this country. Total crap I can in no way support or enforce this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Must be nice to be an optimist about all this.Optimist not. Skeptic yes.No politician can be so blind and ignorant as to not realize that the almost yearly attempts to force this agenda, is causing massive ownership of firearms and ammunition.Why? For what? It appears deliberate? What do they know that we don't?There's my tin foil hat talking.But then again they are politicians. They just might be blind and ignorant.
