Senator Feinstein's Proposed 2013 Legislation

I don't believe I saw a post on this yet so here it is. As if you guys don't have more stuff to grind your gears.

I think it's all a bunch of hoopla![bulls]

But I thought Ol Joe was heading up this project......

I see the cost of implementing this plan being an obstacle.

Here is the gist of it:
Summary of 2013 legislation


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

Hey Dianne[fyou]

we've got to keep making calls an writing letters, i'll be sending out another round of letters today.

Agreed. There are portions of this that are going to be too expensive to implement. They can't even address the current budget issues, I can't see them piling on more "social" plans that increase cost.

I don't see this going very far...

And I didn't think Barry would get a 2nd term either

She may not get everything, but she may get something.

I hope she gets nothing.

It takes them 6 months to process anything now, this isn't even feasible, but it is a pretty interesting way to turn 1/3 of the country into felons. [fail]


Also pretty sure she doesn't comprehend what the registered part of the firearm is...especially in the case of the AR platform.
