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

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

Ugggggggggggh.

So effectively within 50 years or so, they have eliminated all semiauto firearms from legal private ownership.

Exactly. And that is their purpose. Eliminate them without an outright confiscation. A confiscation would cause a riot...but if they let us keep them, then we'll just go along with it...

The blue collar, middle-ground, hunter, Dem, gun owners will say "see, they aren't banning anything. You all get to keep the guns you have and I can keep MY bolt action. It is only reasonable that we have a registration so we can track the guns in case a criminal uses them." And they will still vote for their Representative that passed it next time around.

I agree the NFA semi-auto crap is a throw away so they can say they "compromised." However, I truly believe they will do everything in their power to at least make it illegal to transfer pre-ban weapons. They do that, and you can say goodbye to guns within one generation.

These anti-gun politicians are smarter than we give them credit for. They know exactly what they are doing. They know that the AWB laws are based on cosmetic features. They do that on purpose so they can target more guns for a ban. Although they made a mistake last time by making it 2 features. This time it will be one feature and will cover A LOT more guns and we'll have fewer loop-holes.

And don't expect any help from the courts. The High court will sway away from 2nd friendly later in 2013. That was the biggest lose of the election. We lost the Supreme Court.

Can someone elaborate on the "military feature" part? Do they have a list of exactly what they look for? What parts of the glock would make it illegal besides the 10+ capacity mags? I appreciate any info/links. Thanks.

Glock Magazine fed semi auto capable of holding +10 rounds of ammo. Military features are flash hider, pistol grip bayonet lug, threaded barrel magazines that are detachable ect

Beyond the magazine, they don't have a bayonet lug, threaded barrel, right? Excuse my potential ignorance on this part of it.

Semi Auto more than 10 rds. The last ban made the 1911 come back a little quicker

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.

And if the bill is killed by the GOP-controlled house will you STFU?

Unfortunately, with lickenpooper in the gov's mansion, and a blue house and senate, CO AW ban is essentially a foregone conclusion. If we're safe at the federal level (at least until the 2014 midterms), but fucked in Colorful Colorado, does that mean we all STFU and take one for the team, as it were?

[Tinelement]

So as I read it.....

We are basically back to 6 shooters and lever actions??

All good with me! I admire the outlaws of the Wild West.

That's what scares me the most.
