Senators to introduce scary-looking rifle ban
Senator Dianne Feinstein released a memo yesterday in which she announced the intention of a score of Democrat Senators to reintroduce an “assault weapon ban” to Congress. In the memo, she says that the group, including the usual suspects like valor thief, The Dick Blumenthal and Chuck Schumer, will specifically name 205 firearms which will be the targets of the ban and specifically exempt “more than 2,200 guns for hunting, household defense or recreational purposes” you know, as if they know which firearm is best for you and suits your purposes.
Oh, by the way, there will be a “grandfather clause” so if you hurry out and buy one of the targeted modern sporting rifles now, you can own it after the ban takes effect. So, obviously, the Senators’ intent is to pump up rifle and ammo sales before Christmas.
You know if these rifles are so dangerous, they should just ban them outright, but then they’d be assured of a political loss when they can’t get the votes to forbid possession of the rifles. The Senators think that they can incrementally encroach on our rights this way.
Feinstein additionally warns about other measures they put on their Christmas list;
Requires a background check on any future sale, trade or gifting of an assault weapon covered by the bill.
Requires that grandfathered assault weapons are stored using a secure gun storage or safety device like a trigger lock.
Prohibits the transfer of high-capacity ammunition magazines.
Bans bump-fire stocks and other devices that allow semi-automatic weapons to fire at fully automatic rates.
I don’t know how they figure that they’re going to get folks who sell guns out of their trucks in darkened parking lots and back alleys to conduct background checks, but there it is, another measure that only affects law-abiding citizens more than it affects crime or actual gun safety.
I also don’t know how they’re going to ensure that I have trigger locks on my guns inside my home – unless they also plan on violating another of my Constitutional rights which prohibits unjustified searches.
The Democrats are ensuring that Republicans triumph in the mid-term elections next year with the “assault weapon” ban, as well as helping with gun sales with their ill-considered grandfather clause. If they’re going to commit political suicide, they should go for an outright ban on sporting rifles and magazines. If they were truly committed to their intentions.

It is starting to look as if all these years all those elections the Democraps won was for one reason only: The loyal opposition in the Republitard Party.
There is one thing more dangerous that a “scary black rifle”…..its a lying, immoral, dishonorable, P.O.S. politician!! Especially mentally retarded, insane, anti American dumocraps! imho
Its kind of what happened in France, in which the economic policies of Marine Le Penn where almost identical to the economic policies of the Left.
Why would people vote for “conservative party” who has the same economic policies of the left?
You really should learn who is who… all of the sponsors mentioned are prominent anti-gun Democrats. The Republicans have nothing to do with this.
Amen! There are STILL some patriots in the republican party, ANYONE that votes dumocrap is NOT a patriot and should leave the country imho
Not really sure what Yef is talking about, and not sure Yef is either. The socialist democrat party is the only leftists in our government now, and the only party espousing communist and socialist policies. Also the only ones who keep trying to disarm people in this country with the obvious goal of RULING rather than governing this country after all the real nay votes (guns) are gone.
Let’s see, those who have been involuntarily committed to a Mental Institution are forbidden from possessing Firearms and ammo, DITTO with those convicted of a felony but yet the Texas Church Shooter did so. So THEIR solution is still more laws?
Further proof that LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER.
The definition of insanity…
They look at laws as if they were magic spells that alter reality.
If the first spell didn’t work, maybe the next one will.
They’ll define anyone they don’t like as “mentally ill”…
Strange isn’t it, that those mentally deficients that are elected to dumocrap congress are not forbidden to possess a firearm?
“I also don’t know how they’re going to ensure that I have trigger locks on my guns inside my home – unless they also plan on violating another of my Constitutional rights which prohibits unjustified searches.”
I would how they will know where to look. It is almost like they plan to have a list somewhere.

Well, we:
Rode our bicycles without a helmet, in the street, after dark.

…
I’m sure there is more.
AND WE ARE STILL HERE!!!!
(As Ex-PH2 states, “Giggle, Snort)…😉
So we weren’t the only ones who had Christmas tree forts? Did you have Christmas tree wars with the kids down the street and their fort? You’re not my friend Ricky from down the street, are you? If you are, I’m really sorry about that time I beat you black and blue with a broomstick because your Christmas tree trunk club was too unwieldy.
Yes, a sock filled with street chalk to wack other kids, a pea shooter, lighting news paper with dog shit inside on a neighbors door stoop, playing punch ball in the street, chinese hand ball (asses up) Throwing water balloons out of the 2nd story window, calling taxis to your neighbors house along with pizzas they didn’t order, making english muffin pizzas using tomato paste and cheese, stick ball, hit the penny, stoop ball etc.
Forgot Dodge Ball; putting pennies on railroad tracks;drinking nector from honeysuckles;watching the Three Stooges or Bugs Bunny cartoons with their “violent” acts; enjoying “Amos and Andy” on B & W TV (Kingfish and Sapphire..what was racist about that show?)…funny we did all of that stuff…and WE ARE STILL HERE…😎
Forgot this: Playing “Dixie” at our Football/Basketball Games and flying the Confederate Flag (our High School was mostly Military Brats and we all did it, Blacks, Whites, Hispanics, American Indian, Oriental-it was School Pride. Years later, all of it was banned. That school is now shut down. You reap what you sow. Less money for that State for education. Sad.
Sweet gum ball fights…. if you found a green one so much the better. Hell, if we had known what a durian was we woulda hurled it. Explored unstable caves, crawled through drainage pipes, made homemade push carts and go-carts and went down steep hills with no brakes… I can say this: throwing crackerballs at delivery vans is NOT recommended.
Jeff LPH 3, 63-66: So YOU’RE the one that left that nasty dog poop on our front door step…🤣
It’s a wonder none of us served time in Juvie…😉
AnotherPat;
Amen on that Brother. I rang someones door bell one night night and while running across the lawn, my foot got caught in one of those one foot high miniature metal fences that was for decoration and I fell flat on my face. Lady came out and yelled at me that she was going to tell my Mother. Am 72 now and I ain’t going to pull that shit again.
The adults handled those problems, Pat. They didn’t call the police, they called our parents. They handled it.
Yeh…sang “Zippity Do Dah” lol
Rhinos and the left hate the constitution period. The sooner they can do away with the whole thing and selectively enforce laws they want the better. If you think I’m over exaggerating please read the dissenting opinions in Heller.
If, (<the biggest word in the dictionary), if they get the law passed, my scary weapons will quadruple in value. My $12.00 Magpul magazines will be worth $50, and my $.32 cent .223 rounds will be worth a buck apiece. Will the 13 round capacity of my .22 Henry Carbine exceed their limits? Will they ban my .22 speedloader?
They exempt tubular mag .22s. What’s funny is that they list only one model of a Mini-14 (modeled after a battle rifle), the scary black one, but not the wood stock ones. They throw the SU-16 on the list because it is black plasti; otherwise the only feature it has in common is detachable AR-type magazines. Usual Dem contradictory bullshit, as always.
What about chainsaw bayonets? Can we still buy those?
Chainsaw Bayonets? JUST THINK, you could take that and not only clear out brush on your firing line in between shooting sessions, you could replenish your firewood stock as well, I WANT ONE!!!
@David; Thank God the tube 22 mags are exempt from the list. I was all set to jump out of my basement window and take the pipe.Sarc. I have a Rossie .22 takedown gallery and a Taurus .22 takedown gallery. Taurus was one of the first companies way back when, to insert one of those locks built into the receiver that you had to use a key to lock and unlock. Brought it down to Fl. in 2007 when I retired and the two are still inside a fabric case with the rust inhibitor built into the fabric. Hopefully they are rust free, hopefully.
and if they ban .22 autoloaders with tubular mags, they would want my 1916 Remington. No way.
That would violate a lawn and garden show loophole.
Feinstein (winestain) and shumer among others are so freaking STUPID, they don’t know they just blew their next election, no one wants communist, anti american, NWO, dishonorable pricks in our congress…..DRAIN THE SWAMP!
Are they including S&W M&P 15-22? While at the same time ignoring the Marlin 60? That would be pretty funny.
Feinswine admitted they aren’t serious about passing this weapons ban, she said, “We’re introducing an updated Assault Weapons Ban for one reason: so that after every mass shooting with a military-style assault weapon, the American people will know that a tool to reduce these massacres is sitting in the Senate, ready for debate and a vote,”. Seems they aren’t serious about actually doing something, they just want to make political points(they think).
So they’re crying ‘WOLF!!!’ and stirring an empty pot.
Well, isn’t that just too, too clever of them????
If they make gun ownership illegal I will gladly become a criminal.
There’s a lot of land out there…
Sic semper tyrannis.
Of note: the former Smith and Wesson holdings, AOBC, and Sturm, Ruger & Company, RGR, are at or near 52 week lows. Full Disclosure, I own both stocks and YMMV.
Good time to buy, then.
Also Vista Oudoor Inc, parent company for Blackhawk!, CCI, Federal, etc, missed their earnings. As of this morning they were down 30%!
I love this pull back of gun and ammo manufacturing stock price as it’s about the only part of the market that’s not super inflated. Great insurance.
Full disclosure: I own VSTO (at a loss but f*** it, chaos pays)
Most brokers regard them as ‘sin’ stocks on a par with tobacco or liquor companies. Had a running fight over S&W for years.
Sin is in the eye of the Great Creator and his Free Market says blood makes the green grass grow.
Some of this is political theater. For Feinstein, it’s also a likely pre-emptive strike against Kevin “Ghost Gun” De Leon, California State Senate President Pro Tem, who is running against her re-election to U.S. Senate.
De Leon is even worse than Feinstein. He’s even more of a piece of shit than Pelosi!
He is the absolute worst. Only retarded proglodyte know-nothings have voted for him into office.
Christmas is coming!
You know, the M16A1 I used to carry in the Marines weighed 7.6 pounds with a full magazine in it. The current M4 series weapons weigh on average 12 pounds and have 5.5 less inches of barrel. What the fuck went wrong?
Tacticool
heavier adjustable buttstock, metal freefloating handguards, electronic sight packages, flashlights, laser lights… none of ’em are light
The M-16 I carried in the Corps. was a single shot.
I want! I want!
“You’ll shoot your eye out, kid”.
“Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors’…”
Desiring to purchase thine own, however, is allowable.
It’s like Combat Legos!
When is Feinstein gonna retire! and take Pelosi with her? Somewhere there’s a bubbling cauldron with two openings for cacklers.
The guy who wants to replace Feinswine, as pointed out by Perry upthread, is worse. If you can imagine that.
You know, it’s strange that everyone, a least most people know what P’s.O.S. these dumocraps are, yet they stay in office, anyone else suspect phony, corrupted elections besides me?
A Proud Infidel Junior®™ once asked me if zombies DO exist and I told him YES, every two years the dead rise from their graves and vote D-rat in every major city and blue district!
“I don’t always vote Dem0crat, but when I do, I’m dead.”
They’re just afraid some of you loons are gonna shoot them.
They aren’t aware of their value: well below the $.32/per item cost of bullets.
Those two are so evil that only bayonetting would be satisfying.
In Pelosi’s case, you would need a wooden bayonet doused with holy water, preferably utilized in daylight.
It also helps to have surface-to-air missiles to defend against all those flying monkeys…
Meanwhile, Trump walks by hundreds of Chinese troops with bayonets and swords.
http://www.thehindu.com/news/international/article20008415.ece/alternates/FREE_660/TRUMP
And with his classic scowl.
Meanwhile they’ll continue to walk around with hired security and Secret Service personnel with all kinds of “scary” looking guns.
If it wasn’t for double-standards, Democrats would have no standards at all.
the rich liberal pols want US to disarm and render ourselves defenseless while they go about living in gated communities protected by armed guards and make their living in a place with armed security all over the place.
Hypocrisy, thy name is liberalism.
“If they’re going to commit political suicide, they should go for an outright ban on sporting rifles and magazines. If they were truly committed to their intentions.”
Nah, you have to remember that the chuckleheads pushing for this are safe. They get re-elected every time, so they don’t really look at this as suicide. Now the ones that are a little less stable are the ones that won’t vote for this BS.
Schumer is such a moron, I can’t believe anyone is stoopid enough to think he knows what he’s talking about.
If the portion of this bill relating to trigger locks became law, here are a couple of ways you get easily busted without an illegal search:
You’re SWATted – someone reports shots fired at your house to 911. Police respond – check house, find unsecured weapons – welcome to your fine/arrest.
or
A visitor to your house (neighbor or maintenance person) reports seeing an unsecured weapon accessible to children. Police respond – more of the same, regardless of initial report being accurate or not.
or
Negligent discharge of weapon at your house. During the investigation, unsecured weapons found. Same result.
You put too much faith in the dems not being willing to fall on their sword to toe the party line. They’ve been promised what they really want. A fat paycheck for life and a couple of homes in Florida.
And if you think the repukes aren’t gonna support this you’re sadly mistaken, and republicans are worse IMHO because RINOs like McConnell, Ryan, Cornyn, McCain, Graham, and Grassley will gladly toe the democrat party line for free.
And the RINO’s are so resentful over Americans electing Trump, they’d be happy to ram this through in order to lose both houses to the democrats in order to deny Trump the ability to get his agenda passed.
Mark my words… We’re in the midst of traitors and there’s nothing we’re allowed to do about it.
Don’t forget Collins and McClucksey-two more RINO’s that vote with the Dhimms.
Or “Flake” who is at least smart enough to resign….McCain isn’t that bright!
The Democratic Party. Boosting gun sales since the ’80’s.
Gee whiz, if this twaddle keeps up, I’m going to go get my FOID and the rest of it and get one just to piss ’em off.
“FOID”? An ex in-law from Brooklyn once told me that he drives a FOID, and not a Chevy.
F-Off, Illinois Dems.
(Snorrrttt!) It’s the permit that permits me to go touch, smell, feel, weigh, rent, and/or shoot GUNNNZZZ!
Ex-PH2 – really? You’re not shiiting us?
You have to have a permit to even touch a gun? How Socialist.
I thank God for letting me live in Texas.
Not really, Graybeard, but when local politicians get all sweaty-palmed, pale, and shaky, the easier they make it to exaggerate what it takes to even be in the same room with a gun.
Almost forgot: Evanston and Chicago ALL told us in the 1970s and 1980s to:
1 – Lock your car doors when you drive, even in daylight
2 – Don’t set a pattern
3 – Don’t assume that if it hasn’t happened HERE yet, it can’t happen HERE (wherever HERE is). The reason for this was the drive-by random shooting of Ricky Birdsong, a popular sports coach, out walking his dog in his own neighborhood early one evening.
OK. With the track record of that AO, I’m never certain.
I’m glad I bought my AR-10 in the festive green shade rather than black. Much less scary looking. Doesn’t have the scary M-16 comparison as the AR-15 does nor fire the fearsome .223 (heh, heh, heh).
Or the gentle tan shade that proclaims “Not Scary! Not Scary!”…
I have seen a picture of a young girl with her AR-15 and its bubblegum-pink furniture.
Send copies to key dems, and watch their heads explode.
ROFL
How about a video of Filo Beddoe’s Mama?
I always wanted to be like Ruth Gordon when I grew up. That means I have to grow up first, but — well, I guess it ain’t too hard… is it?
Meh. Feinstein and fellow dingleberries.
Or, wait … are they talking about the NEW .5 Gigaton antimatter .22LR rounds that Sky’s The Limit Armaments just announced last week?
No FREAKIN’ way, man! We got beaucoup mutant cyborg coyotes to deal with, this close to Area 51!!! We need those, because nothing else works … a JDAM just chips the powdercoat and ticks off the organic part of the cyborg.
Time to place and order for magazines for my ARs.
I picked up a couple 17 round mags in 7.62×39 for one of them last month. Time to get a couple more plus some 20 round in .223 for the other.
I might have to pick up some “repair kits” as well. That way I can be sure the older ones work forever.
If I could only get my purchase approved by the Budgetary Review Board (aka Mrs. GB)…
If outlawing scary looking things is the concern of the Senators, I could make a few suggestions…
Spew Alert!!!
Send them hand mirrors?
YEH, namely CONGRESS PEOPLE…they are the scariest!
So….when is Duckworth, Durbin and Cardin going to fix their own problems of Blacks killing Blacks in their own States (Illinois and Maryland)?
BTW, I am NOT prejudiced nor racist considering I have Black, Hispanic, Oriental, White and Indian friends as well as friends from other countries.
Also, am I missing something? Where are the other State Reps for this Bill?
No matter how much you make something illegal, folks are still going to find a way to get it, AKA the Black Market. Guess we never learned from the Prohibition Period from 1920-1933.
What is next..our Freedom ( laugh if you wish, but look what is going on in North Korea).
Oh! You’ve to that wrong. Those states are Chicago and Baltimore.
Let’s not forget that it was DiFi that said years ago that if she had the power to do so, she would send the jackbooted thugs to confiscate every one of these rifles from “Mr. and Mrs. America.” She is also just following Rhambo Emanuel’s advice never to “let a crisis go to waste.”
If this gets into law I can see how it will be a terrific deterrent to meth, heroine, and crack dealers across the country, as they will not want to violate these new gun laws. Especially if they know they won’t be able to pass the background check conducted by the guy about to sell them an AR-15 out of the truck of his car.
Where do I find one of them heroine dealers? Been wanting to buy one for years.
That is what I get for checking spelling with the spousal unit–thought it looked wrong. But in answer to your question, the Army issued me mine, as my Army Nurse has definitely been a heroine for putting up with me for over 45 years.
So the Army does issue you a wife if you need one!
It was a special issue item. Only for a certain lonely O-3 in the 10th SFG(A) and recently returned from the Viet of the Nam. She cured me of the dreaded PTS of the D–even made a house call at Bragg when I was TDY.
If you add wickedness, we can bring up the violins and pre-roll for The Unforgiven, dai huy…
Well, sounds like the Army did something right for you, then.
Well, some of the higher ranking douches in my chain of command gave me some unwarranted grief, but overall the Army was a good experience. It was great prep for having to daily deal with lawers–you know, the joy of victory, the agony of defeat stuff.
Because we need to disarm law-abiding people so we can impose social justice utopia– don’t you stupid deplorables get it!! (Yeah, thanks, Democrats… )
WOW, I can’t wait for this Sat.and Sun. 11/11-11/12 and head up to the Palm Beach County Fl. Fairgrounds and check out the Nov. gun show. Should be a major buying spree. I was at the one right after Der Herr obama got into office, and the lines waiting to get in ran out into the outer parking lots. Took around 15 minutes to get in and the dealers raked in mucho dinero on that one show along with every time a mass shooting took place, every one and their Uncle was there making purchases.
You should set up a parking lot concession. There are some fake ex-SF/SEAL airplane parking attendants available to help out.
rgr769, Thanks for the tip. Before I found this site, I never realized the enormous amount of these Mil phonies. Going to the gun shows since I moved down here ten years ago, I used to see the bikes lined up and guys with vests but I never really paid attention and if I did, I would have thought that they were legit. I will post a sitrep on the show after I get home from the show.
Great, I look forward to reading it. I used to give these vest wearing posers the benefit of the doubt, back before I read this site everyday. Now, I suspect just about everyone sporting or talking ex-mil shit. I almost doubt myself now; if I wear my vest tomorrow, I may have to turn myself into Jonn for a FOIA request.
If pelosi hangs out with feinswine, she shouldn’t have a worry if feinswine still carries that concealed .38 wheel gun. Do as I say but not as I do.
she be a real nutter!
