This Just In: Feinstein includes handguns in to-be-proposed Assault Weapons Legislation

Her and McCarthy...barf...

Already fired off my letters about this

As with the budget watch the GOP cave in. If you are a CONSERVATIVE you need to leave the GOP if this Bill gets through the House.

Handguns were included in the original AW ban, too - if they were semiautomatic and accepted detachable magazines that held more than ten rounds.

Yep. Sadly the GOP has lost their spine (and balls)... they're nothing but a bunch of wet noodles that cave under the least amount of pressure. If we go over the fiscal cliff, it's going to be blamed on the Republicans. If we have some last-minute deal, all the bad stuff in it will fall to the GOP's blame. Same with guns, they'll probably compromise- we'll lose more liberty, more rights, and be criminalized. Seriously, I've written enough letters these last couple weeks that if they do cave, I'm going to see to it that their names go through mud and shit and stop supporting them altogether forever. Right now is the time to stand FIRM... very firm!

So, am I understanding this right? ANY handgun that has a detachable mag (most) that can hold 10 rounds or more, regardless if you have 10+ round mags or not, would be illegal?

The really scary part is this:

Existing ones would be grandfathered/registered. Can't sell it, can't leave it to your heirs.

So effectively within 50 years or so, they have eliminated all semiauto firearms from legal private ownership. Do they think that will stop the criminals? Buncha morons.
