The new and improved Feinstein AWB is here!
[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=sqqjVyOYmow[/youtube]
To the dismay of many... no outright banning, kicking down doors at 0300hrs and confiscation of currently owned firearms.
Should be interesting to see if this has any wind in its sails.
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
Strengthens the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban and various state bans by:
Moving from a 2-characteristic test to a 1-characteristic test
Eliminating the easy-to-remove bayonet mounts and flash suppressors from the characteristics test
Banning firearms with “thumbhole stocks†and “bullet buttons†to address attempts to “work around†prior bans
Bans large-capacity ammunition feeding devices capable of accepting more than 10 rounds.
Protects legitimate hunters and the rights of existing gun owners by:
Grandfathering weapons legally possessed on the date of enactment
Exempting over 900 specifically-named weapons used for hunting or sporting purposes and
Exempting antique, manually-operated, and permanently disabled weapons
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

AWB "Classic" barely passed in the House, and it did only after the 10-year sunset clause was added as a compromise.
A stricter ban as described doesn't stand a snowball's chance in Hell.

Kicked in the balls by reality on the very first reply. Too bad DUmmies.

She wants to know where all the legally owned guns are so that it makes confiscation easier.

And what was that they said a week or two ago about how Obama wasn't coming for our guns. If this doesn't pass you can bet they wil do their damn best to get that UN treaty signed by the Senate.

Where those dissenters for the AWB will keep the Senate from ratifying that.

When positive,verifiable,photo ID is required to vote in all 50 states get back to me on restricting my declared Constitutional rights.

She may as well renamed the bill the "Restoring a Republican Majority in the Senate Act" because any purple state that currently has a democrat senator up for re-election soon is going to lose if they vote for this turd.

Sweinstein grandstanding again. I'm surprised Shoemer isn't all over it.

Precisely. Screw that. The only sane thing in it is removing the muzzle device and bayonet lug from the whole nutbar calculus of 'Military characteristics.'
-
Certain other semiautomatic rifles, handguns, shotguns that can accept a detachable magazine and have one military characteristic
One military characteristic----It shoots----you gotta give it up.

Therein lies the problem.
Who, exactly gets to define what a military characteristic is?
It certainly won't be anyone actually familiar with firearms. Gayrunteed.

That's my problem with the whole 'We need a commission' BS - what the bastards mean is a commission of cats to decide what to do about the proliferation of dogs...it's a given the dogs will get screwed, the only open question is just how badly.
