Sent an email to Senators Blunt (good guy) and McCaskill (Obama's puppet).
I asked McCaskill for a yes or no answer - or not one at all. We'll see...

120 specifically-named firearms
What I'm most surprised about are all the speculations before anything was released that are actually true, like the move to NFA. Seems like a lot of people knew about this for some time which only tells me that a bunch of folks were working on this for a long time, at least before the tragedy in CT.
I'm quite surprised she isn't trying to ban .50 BMG rifles. I guess that's for the next tragedy.
I want a gold toilet seat. Doesn't mean I will get it. Feinstein knows this is probably her last hurrah. She's old, and she doesn't have enough time left to keep riding out the public sentiment cycle. Right now she has a lame-duck congress that wants ANYTHING besides the budget to talk about, and the fervor will not get more intense than it is RIGHT NOW. This is the peak of her power and control. She will not keep this position for long. There are a lot of roadblocks she has to get around. Getting it heard and voted on in both houses, (which is far from likely in itself,) Reid is not her ally in this, and she doesn't have the votes in congress at all. She is not in a position where she can force anyone to accept any degree of new gun control. It's not like she can force them to give her a counter-offer, they don't have to. The only difference between now and a month ago, is that she has the half-hearted support of five or so legislators who previously said they were against new gun laws, who are probably only saying so because they know that the law has absolutely no chance of going anywhere.
Yes, it's a lot to swallow, seeing it there all together like that. But remember she has ALWAYS wanted total confiscation of all guns. This should not be a surprise.
Half this battle is psychological. When we freak out every time they speak, they are winning. Don't freak out.
This looks like pretty much our worst nightmare.
Really, a Government office getting bigger and demanding more money?!?I'd imagine the ATF would need to double it's manpower just to manage the enormous expansion of the NFA registry.
