Dianne Feinstein to Propose New Ban On So-Called "Assault Weapons" Today at 11am EDT

No, 'they' are not idiots; though there are lots of idiots willingly serving the Leftist agenda. The actual facilitators have a clear goal; disarmament and control; if 'a few' are injured or killed, it's for the Greater Good. They are also patient; if there's a setback, they just keep on working. When they score a victory, they don't congratulate themselves and go home; they keep grinding away.
That's a lesson WE need to take to heart; even after we beat this latest attack back, we need to keep educating and pressing our case! Make THEM compromise with US, then push some more!!

As anyone ever thought to check if that bitter old witch (Feinstein) is mentally 100% capable of properly doing her job? She is in her 70s and a lot of senior citizens are no longer able to do certain things. Perhaps, she needs to be put into an Obamacare nursing home?

+1 on this. I don't think she's altogether there anymore.

Neither MPD nor the Capitol Police have the authority to overrule the DC Official Code. Of course, nothing will come of it.

However, it might be nice if the Senate Select Committee on Ethics took a hard look at the transport and display of firearms, at the behest of Sen. Feinstein's office, in possible violation of DC Code. Not that would happen either, especially since that Committee is chaired by Barbara "Dumb-as-a-Box-of-Rocks" Boxer.

If the DC cops and attorney won't enforce their own laws with David Gregory, they sure as heck would give Feinstein a pass as well.

Well put.

If they were truely idiots, then their activities would be of no consequence and we could disregard them. But they obviously are not idiots and we cannot dismiss them as such.

We need to avoid such paradigms because they lead to a tendendy to underestimate them and their goals & effectiveness.

Correct...the idiots are the people who keep voting for these politicians and complaining about their actions. The Democrat Party is controlled by the left and no amount of pussy-footing is going to change that. California..my home, is controlled by these people from top to bottom and behold the result.

Well... let me tell you from my personal experiences living in former USSR.
Government afraid of people who can fight back. And millions of american having guns and rifle it is a scary thing. There for government willing do anything possible or impossible to take that away from us. It was done not ones or twice in different counties and it worked.
Problem is we are one of the most weapons holder in world, it will not be so easy.
And of course Prohibition never work and never will work. Unfortunately people do not learn anything from the history, and making same mistakes all over again.
We need to stand and fight for our Constitution right! Anther wise welcome to USSR.
I personally donated three times to NRA-ILA this month, upgraded my NRA membership, write letters to congressman's in my IL State.
What have you done?

 

[shep854]

As CZ-75BD could no doubt write a book about, the 'Left' in the US is communist to the core.

 

[Pismopal]

CZ....I don't vote for liberals...if a liberal is elected to office,writting letters to try to change their opinion about the 2nd is a waste of stamps.

That's a bold statement. The far left in the US is more socialist in the modern European democracy sense than they are "communist" in the Soviet sense.

 

[Trent]

Yeah there's a pretty big difference between old school Red communism, and what we're seeing today with "progressive socialism." (I believe that's the phrase y'all are looking for. Progressive Socialist.)

 

[shep854]

I'm referring to their motivating philosophy and ultimate goals. Agreed, we're nowhere near the USSR right now, but the Left is trying to steer us that way, IMO.

I have a lot of respect for Feinstein, but her bill disappoints me. As I wrote in the other thread, I am in favor of removing the private sales loophole and a ban on high capacity magazines. I should point out that the majority of the American public shares these views. However the public is NOT in favor of banning "assault rifles" and neither am I. The proposed bill provides an "out" for politicians who don't want to discuss the two issues I am pushing for.

I respect Feinstein as a person. I think she is a hypocrite. I have no respect for this current AWB bill. I don't favor any kind of restrictions beyond what are currently on the books.

Removing the private sales "loophole" will not accomplish a thing. Criminals do not obey laws, and they usually steal guns. How would forcing two private citizens to go through an FFL to sell a gun affect criminals who will not obey the law?
Likewise banning 30 round magazines will not work. There's millions of them out there to begin with. Moreover limting capacity will not ameliorate the ill effects of any violent crime. Cho, the Virginia Tech shooter, used two handguns, not an AR-15. He reloaded these 18 times during his shooting spree ....and managed to kill 32 people. That's more than were killed in Newtown Ct by Adam Lanza. Cho used a Walther P-22 which use ten round mags (this is a .22RF and most of these .22s that use magazines have ten round capacity mags because of the design of the round) and a center fire semiauto -- I am unsure of the caliber & make but I suspect it would carry more than just ten rounds.
There may be some polls which show that a majority of people would want a capacity limit on mags and the private sale "loophole" "fixed," but one should remember something. Not all these polls are neutral. Confucious said that "he who determines the question determines the answer." Many people don't understand what the so called "gun show" loophole (AKA "private sale loophole") is and don't really understand enough about guns to understand how Cho could kill more people without 30 round mags than Adam Lanza did with them.
It still bothers me that whenever some psycho goes on a shooting spree people want to take weapons (and their related "feeding" devices) away from everyone who didn't do it--and expect it to actually make a difference.

I note that plenty of posters here like to point out that "Brand X is on the list, but Brand XX is the same thing, and it didn't make the list at all. What a crock!"

You're not thinking this through. You aren't thinking like the enemy, either, OR using your imagination.

Fast forward to the day when the Anti's, having successfully passed the new AWB, have the power to add to the list. Imagine the press conference where Feinstein apologizes to the people for not recognizing that Brand XX is essentially identical to Brand X, and needs to be placed on the "Only The State Needs This" list. What will stop her? The firearms in question, in one form or another, would have already been proscribed. Adding a new make or model will be easy.

Welcome to your own personal Concord Bridge, folks. See to your priming!

She is quite a lady for her age.
If I remember correctly she was born in 1932
It really is a shame that she was not born in Germany.
