Ban on 205 Different ‘Assault Weapons’ Introduced by Sen. Feinstein

BY JACK PHILLIPS March 12, 2021 Updated: March 12, 2021

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) on Thursday introduced a ban on more than 200 “assault weapons” after the House passed two gun-control measures pertaining to background checks.

Her bill (pdf), called the “Assault Weapons Ban of 2021,” is co-sponsored by 34 Senate Democrats and would ban ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds—similar to the bans on magazines in New York state and California.

According to the legislation, which was also introduced in the House by Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.), the ban would encompass more than 205 rifles. Feinstein’s bill would allow current owners of the guns to retain possession of them. If that gun is transferred, a person has to undergo an FBI background check before getting the firearm.

The bill also bans any weapon that has the capacity to use a magazine that isn’t a fixed ammunition magazine and has one or more characteristics such as a pistol grip, forward grip, a threaded barrel, a folding or telescoping stock, or a barrel shroud.

The bill “requires that grandfathered assault weapons are stored using a secure gun storage or safety device like a trigger lock” and prohibits the transfer of high-capacity ammunition magazines while banning “bump- fire stocks and other devices that allow semi-automatic weapons to fire at fully automatic rates,” according to a news release from Feinstein’s office. Bump-fire stocks were made illegal in March 2019.

“It’s been 17 years since the original Assault Weapons Ban expired, and the plague of gun violence continues to grow in this country. To be clear, this bill saves lives. When it was in place from 1994-2004, gun massacres declined by 37 percent compared with the decade before. After the ban expired, the number of massacres rose by 183 percent,” Feinstein said in a statement Thursday.

There are more than 20 million modern sporting rifles owned by private citizens, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, as reported by pro-Second Amendment website Bearingarms.com.

Republicans and gun-rights groups have said proposals from Feinstein, who has long advocated for gun control, are unconstitutional and won’t prevent firearms from getting in the hands of criminals.

“Law-abiding Americans use them for every type of lawful purpose, including personal and home defense, hunting, marksmanship competitions, and recreational target practice,” stated the National Rifle Association (NRA) when Feinstein attempted to introduce the bill in 2019. “Needless to say, however, the modern criminal element will not be playing by the antiquated rules that Feinstein hopes to apply to the rest of us,” the group asserted.

On Thursday, the House passed two Democratic-backed gun control measures, including one would that would expand background checks to those purchasing weapons over the internet, at gun shows, and through certain private transactions. Only eight Republicans joined the Democrats in backing the bill.

The second bill, passed 219-210 with only two Republicans supporting it, would give authorities 10 business days for federal background checks to be completed before a gun sale can be licensed.

The lies of these traitors sicken me. Gun violence was at its peak during the 1990’s and after the assault weapons ban, went down dramatically. It is far past time to drive every fucking democrat out of this country by force. From the president all the way down to the beatnik in college. Drive them all out of the country to a nation where guns are banned. Like Mexico for instance.

Like Mexico

Biden's first act on day one killed 11,000 good paying Union jobs by stopping the Keystone XL pipeline and the border wall construction. The Biden Crime Cult has become a job killing cult.

And Pete Butthead says those people can find work in the solar industry. Where are they making solar panels in this country? They are being made in Red China. :-/

If you have no firearms, you cannot defend yourself against forced immunizations. If you don’t have firearms, you can’t fight a war against the Chinese, or your own traitorous government. If you have no firearms, you can’t stop the state from taking everything they want from you in the great reset, and if you have no firearms, you cannot fight against treason.

I am apoplectic right now over this. I mean, first i lost all my stuff in a boating accident while ice fishing here, and now this... It’s like God is punishing me twice.

They have ways. It will be like under outright communism --anybody who overhears you discussing those guns is capable of turning you in. Many wives will automatically -- they're the ultimate govt-worshiping statists.

confiscate arms

The whole problem is FFL holders only keep those 4473s for 10 years. So in reality, how many millions of firearms are out there? ;)

I honestly hope you don't believe that. What happens to those forms if the shop goes out of business or changes hands? Are those forms not copied every time there's an "investigation"? Does the FBI destroy all records of background checks? Who has access to the state carry permit info?

I haven't purchased a firearm since before 2008. Why did the FWPD feel the need to dispatch four police cars to my address to make out a simple report when someone damaged 40' of my fence?

That being said, the folks the most screwed will be the recent purchasers. The addresses will be current, the firearms not likely sold yet, etc. They'll work top-down, one person at a time.

Why do you you suppose they feel the need to have more troops deployed in DC than they do in Iraq and Afghanistan combined?

Only idiots do not see the agenda at hand and I think that 4 years of Trump and his endgame only gave the leftists everything they needed to make those who wish to be free, a target of the state.

I do not and will never believe that we won world War 2 for the simple fact that those very same nazis are at work today in our government.
