Senator Dianne Feinstein unveiled her promised attack against the Second Amendment Thursday on Capitol Hill. The legislation she has proposed following the Sandy Hook massacre last month will reinstate and significantly extend the federal ban on so-called assault weapons that expired in 2004.
The purpose is to dry up the supply of these weapons over time, Feinstein said. Therefore, there is no sunset on this bill.
Obama has vowed to sign Feinstein's legislation if it clears significant hurdles in Congress.
Feinstein assembled an all-star cast to call for unconstitutionally rolling back the gun rights of millions of Americans. Those in attendance included senators Dick Durbin, Chuck Schumer and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy. The California lawmaker surrounded herself with law enforcement officers, faith leaders, mayors, gun control advocates and other Democratic supporters of the bill, according to Roll Call.
Others in attendance for their obvious theatrical value included survivors of mass shootings in Arizona, Colorado and at Virginia Tech, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter and Charles H. Ramsey, Philadelphia Police Commissioner, the Washington Post reports.
A number of Democrats not attending the media event, however, have vowed to fight the legislation.
On the chopping block are 158 specific kinds of semiautomatic firearms listed by name (see the entire list here) and others including handguns and shotguns with at least one specific military characteristic. In addition, the legislation will outlaw all ammunition magazines that contain more than 10 rounds.
More draconian yet, the proposed legislation will target millions of so-called assault weapons already in the hands of Americans by subjecting owners to government background checks.
A number of states reacted to Obama's call to rollback the Second Amendment and his pledge to back anti-gun legislation introduced by Democrats in Congress.
On Wednesday, Texas freshman Rep. Steve Stockman introduced his Restore the Constitution Act in response to Obama signing a flurry of unconstitutional executive orders and actions following his anti-firearms speech last week.
Stockman's bill would designate any executive action to be advisory only if it infringes on the constitutional duties of Congress under Article I, or the Second Amendment.
Texas, Missouri and other states have introduced legislation to block enforcement of the gun ban.
Texas Rep. John Otto (R-Dayton) filed HB553 soon after Obama's theatrical speech exploiting children as stage props.
The bill would make it a misdemeanor for any state or federal official to enforce or attempt to enforce any acts, laws, executive orders, agency orders, rules or regulations of any kind whatsoever of the United States government relating to confiscating any firearm, banning any firearm, limiting the size of a magazine for any firearm, imposing any limit on the ammunition that may be purchased for any firearm, taxing any firearm or ammunition therefore, or requiring the registration of any firearm or ammunition therefore.
This old bag and her comrades can go straight to hell.
We should all be livid. Stop acting like docile, mentally castrated pussies and grow a pair. It's time to get in their face. Why should we speak in hushed tones and act all polite when we are being metaphorically raped every day?

The only item that I don't have some variant of is a belt-fed weapon.
This will not go well for SchuFeinBloomBama.

All you need is a double barrel shotgun, Uncle Joe says.
One functional firearm in the possession of someone trained and willing to utilize it is all that is necessary for a cunning individual to begin accumulating his arsenal.
But starting with more is always the preferred option.
There sure are a lot of Russian arms on that list. Those Saiga semi-auto shotguns are really cool. But I didn't see Dragunovs (SVD) or their civilian counterparts on the list list the TIGR. Perhaps they left them off this time? The Dragunov isn't derived from the AK, so perhaps they missed it.

"It is the habit of unhappiness to rewrite our lives and from a different beginning come to a different ending. We cling to the past and what it could have been; what we wanted, or thought we wanted, before we were taught by a broken heart that our own good intentions have little effect on the way things are."
The banned items read like the contents of my Browning safe.

Dragunovs may be covered under "others" since it probably has some "military characteristic" or other. I imagine it has a bayonet lug, for instance. It doesn't take much for these gun grabbers wet their panties. There seems to be a gun ban loophole to cover whatever they missed listing. These F'ers ain't taking any chances that the sheeple might be "permitted" to have something really useful.
I've seen the Dragunov specified on another proposed ban, by some other ahole.

On Wednesday, Texas freshman Rep. Steve Stockman introduced his Restore the Constitution Act in response to Obama signing a flurry of unconstitutional executive orders and actions following his anti-firearms speech last week.
Stockman's bill would designate any executive action to be advisory only [in nature] if it infringes on the constitutional duties of Congress under Article I, or the Second Amendment.
The wording of the 2nd paragraph was unclear, imo, so I inserted the bracketed phrasing copied from this linked article at thehill.com (which I'm guessing explains such infringing advisories to be unauthorized and Unconstitutional): GOP freshman proposes bill blocking Obama's gun actions

Sounds like a token "slap on the wrist" -- a charge that won't translate for them, as it does for other Americans, to possible job loss and unemployability.
Even so, these Texas Reps are at least leading in the right direction of Constitutionality.
Edited for spelling.
