From My Cold Dead Hands

The enemies of liberty are on the move.

Democrat Senator Diane Feinstein will introduce major gun control legislation on January 22nd. Here are some of the lowlights:

Expands the definition of “assault weapon” by including:

  •     Three very popular rifles: The M1 Carbine (introduced in 1944 and for many years sold by the federal government to individuals involved in marksmanship competition), a model of the Ruger Mini-14, and most or all models of the SKS.
    
  •     Any “semiautomatic, centerfire, or rimfire rifle that has a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds,” except for tubular-magazine .22s.
    
  •     Any “semiautomatic, centerfire, or rimfire rifle that has an overall length of less than 30 inches,” any “semiautomatic handgun with a fixed magazine that has the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds,” and any semi-automatic handgun that has a threaded barrel.
    
Requires owners of existing “assault weapons” to register them with the federal government under the National Firearms Act (NFA).
The NFA imposes a $200 tax per firearm, and requires an owner to submit photographs and fingerprints to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE), to inform the BATFE of the address where the firearm will be kept, and to obtain the BATFE’s permission to transport the firearm across state lines.
 
Prohibits the transfer of “assault weapons.
Owners of other firearms, including those covered by the NFA, are permitted to sell them or pass them to heirs. However, under Feinstein’s new bill, “assault weapons” would remain with their current owners until their deaths, at which point they would be forfeited to the government

Requires that grandfathered weapons be registered under the National Firearms Act, to include:
    • Background check of owner and any transferee;
    • Type and serial number of the firearm;
    • Positive identification, including photograph and fingerprint;
    • Certification from local law enforcement of identity and that possession would not violate State or local law; and
    • Dedicated funding for ATF to implement registration.
If this crap becomes law, I will not abide by it. I will not register any grandfathered weapon with the ATF. This is insane. These damn gun-grabbing anti-constitutionalists will stop at nothing to disarm the American people. They are an absolute threat to our freedom.

Contact your member of Congress today and demand that they reject Feinstein's legislation.
