Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., each introduced an "assault weapons" ban in their chamber on Thursday amid a "rise in domestic terrorism," in Feinstein's words.

"It’s been 17 years since the original Assault Weapons Ban expired," Feinstein said in a statement. "When it was in place from 1994-2004, gun massacres declined by 37% compared with the decade before. After the ban expired, the number of massacres rose by 183%. We’re now seeing a rise in domestic terrorism, and military-style assault weapons are increasingly becoming the guns of choice for these dangerous groups."

HOW BIDEN COULD TIGHTEN GUN CONTROL WITHOUT CONGRESS

The bill would ban the sale, manufacture, transfer, and importation of more than 200 "military-style assault weapons" identified by name, although owners would be allowed to keep existing weapons. The bill would also require background checks on any future purchases, trades or gifting of an assault weapon included in the bill.

Feinstein and Cicilline referenced the Dayton, Ohio, shooting that left nine people dead in 2019. The shooter had a 100-round magazine.

"Assault weapons are designed for a single purpose – to kill as many people as possible in as short an amount of time as possible. That’s why they are the weapon of choice for mass shooters and domestic terrorists. They are weapons of war and do not belong in our communities," Cicilline said in a statement.

The proposed ban would ban magazines and other ammunition feeding devices able to hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition, but owners would be allowed to keep existing magazines.

The ban has the support of numerous Democratic lawmakers, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, as well as Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.

What a surprise.

May a pack of wild dogs eat her alive, and the crows pick at her rotting carcass.

Why would you wish such niceties on someone unworthy.

Just wait until James’s checks get where they are going.

i don.t see james telling this poor dumb hillbilly how great it is that the orangeman,s gone?

Bahahaha.

if assault weapons are for a single purpose of killing as many people as possible then the FBI, ATF, DEA, ICE, and all police departments do not need them. Yet all have made well documented explanations for why they need these tools and how they are the most effective personal defense tools available.

Thats a bit harsh on the dogs and crows don't ya think ??

I'd think so

Weapons of war? Bolt actions, lever as actions rolling blocks, muskets, bows, x bows, knifes, swords, axes, hammer, pitch forks are all weapons of war are they not?

I've always had a real hard time to understand why people are bitchin' about Politicians making new gun laws. Why aren't they bitchin' about the same politicians ENFORCING the LAWS already on the books? . . . criminals and especially REPEAT criminals should be dealt with so severely that they would not have a chance to be repeat offenders. THAT'S where the bitchin' should be voiced!!!!

Its a dog and pony show backed by an illegal administration.

The shame of it is that the very large majority of people will not resist these draconian gun laws being implemented if they pass and are signed into law.....Some states already enforce very similar laws and the cops will arrest you for breaking them, even if you only posses a 30 round mag and no firearm at all......

I ain't going along with this circus..

My magazines identify as a fireant colony.
My guns identify as an immigrant.

Has James come forward and said he sent the payments? I know he publicly castigated the guys who bet on the presidential election results against him on Trapperman.

Another part of the circus:

Do you think this cop will take away your guns?

All she had to do is leave the bank! The bank called the police to have her removed or the police would not have been there. JMO

Agreed.

Should have went out, got her mask, came back in and closed out her account with the bank.
