Democratic Senator Vows to Reinstate Assault Weapons Ban
The Newtown shooting in Connecticut has prompted an explosive, albeit predictable, reaction from supporters of gun control. With such anti-gun luminaries as New York mayor Michael Bloomberg loudly trumpeting the need for an assault weapons ban, it was just a matter of time before legislation was introduced to push the concept.
That is precisely what California Democrat Dianne Feinstein has just announced her intention to do, telling NBC’s “Meet The Press” that the plans to introduce a new assault weapons ban in the new year, with Democrats in the House prepared to support her with their own version of the bill at the same time. The Huffington Post reports on Feinstein’s stated intentions:
In the wake of Friday’s mass killing at an elementary school in Connecticut, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said Sunday that she plans to introduce an assault weapons ban bill on the first day of the new Congress.
“I’m going to introduce in the Senate, and the same bill will be introduced in the House — a bill to ban assault weapons,” Feinstein said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”[...]
Feinstein called for the ban to be renewed after the mass shooting in an Aurora, Colo., movie theater that killed 12 people and injured 58 others.
“Who needs these military-style assault weapons? Who needs an ammunition feeding device capable of holding 100 rounds?” Feinstein wrote on her campaign website. “These weapons are not for hunting deer — they’re for hunting people.”
On Sunday Feinstein laid out details of the bill.
“It will ban the sale, the transfer, the importation and the possession, not retroactively, but prospectively,” and ban the sale of clips of more than ten bullets, Feinstein said. “The purpose of this bill is to get… weapons of war off the streets.”
Feinstein apparently also believes that President Obama will be prepared to support her in pushing this bill through, as she has said that this will be the president’s bill “to lead on.”
Watch Feinstein’s announcement below:
This is not the first time such a bill has been part of a Democratic president’s agenda. President Bill Clinton signed an assault weapons ban into law in 1994, in a politically risky move that many blame for costing his party the House of Representatives that year. That bill, however, expired in 2004, and attempts to revive it have been stymied. Whether Feinstein’s bill will be an exception is an open question, though the Democratic Senator did claim that her version had improved on the original concept by exempting many popular weapons.

Posted on December 16, 2012 at 8:31pmThanks, Diane for caving into the Obama White House over Fast and Furious. For one brief moment, you might have been worthy of a mention in a Portraits in Patriotism redo when you asked for investigating . Unfortunately, you caved into the Chicago radicals like most of our current cowardly politicians. What do they “have” on you, Diane ?

Posted on December 16, 2012 at 9:32pmAre you serious. Feinstein and the word patriot in the same sentence? She is not a patriot in any sense. She is an unabashed hater of free people. Feinstein has been trying to ban Americans from owning guns for decades. She is a traitor and nothing close to being a patriot. You and I are mere minions.

This shooting is yet another tragic example of the failed, grotesque insistence on helpless victim zones where any crazed gunman can be assured of a large number of disarmed, undefended, helpless victims, all crammed into one place, where he can kill many children before an armed defender arrives from elsewhere. It is disturbing and sick that the federal government so hates the right of the American people to bear arms, and so hates their natural right to self defense, that the government insists on making them helpless, disarmed victims for anyone who cares to kill them. And in this case, all of the teachers and staff were willfully disarmed by the Federal Government, by force of law and threat of prison, to ensure that they would be disarmed and incapable of saving the lives of the children entrusted to their care.
That makes the Federal Government complicit in the deaths of these children, and in fact an accessory to their mass murder, by forcibly disarming (with the very real threat of prison) all the teachers, all the staff, and any parent who may have been on school property. That stupid law guaranteed the shooters would meet no immediate armed resistance, which is exactly what is needed to stop such an attack.

Posted on December 16, 2012 at 10:41pmI think the assault weapon was left in the car so how could a ban have made any difference..Oh yes this is a feel goof law, its not about the kids who were shot by a pistol…..
How about enforcing the LAWS already on the books…..
Of course if the assault weapons ban was in effect than maybe fast and furious would not have happened. It would have been lets just give the drug lords the guns and everybody shut up…Oh wait that’s what happened anyway

Posted on December 16, 2012 at 10:45pmDarrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton, Colorado, was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee:
“Since the dawn of creation there has been both good &evil in the hearts of men and women.. We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of violence. The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the deaths of that heroic teacher, and the other eleven children who died must not be in vain. Their blood cries out f or answers.
“The first recorded act of violence was when Cain slew his brother Abel out in the field. The villain was not the club he used.. Neither was it the NCA, the National Club Association. The true killer was Cain, and the reason for the murder could only be found in Cain’s heart.
“In the days that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was amazed at how quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA. I am not a member of the NRA. I am not a hunter. I do not even own a gun. I am not here to represent or defend the NRA—because I don’t believe that they are responsible for my daughter’s death. Therefore I do not believe that they need to be defended. If I believed they had anything to do with Rachel’s murder I would be their strongest opponent….

Posted on December 16, 2012 at 10:58pmI say we make the offices where these liberal politicians work Gun free zones also, and immediately disarm all their guards. Let’s see if they would like that.
The deluded left wants our school teachers and school children to be human shields against armed maniacs. The progressives are to blame. Liberal Hollywood has corrupted our culture. The music industry and the rest of the mainstream entertainment business has an almost monopolistic influence in the lives of our children. Why is it okay today for a kid to have fun by playing video games that shoot and kill dozens of people? I urge parents to keep your kids away from the filth of this world.
Explain, you leftist idiots, why a teacher’s life is worth less than a police officer? The police uses a gun to protect himself, are our children worth less? Why must teachers wait for the Government? Are they slaves? Don’t they have a personal right to defend themselves? You can’t win without ignoring the real issues, and resorting to myths about how if we all were unarmed the world would be all jolly and gay. Mexico prohibits all guns to its citizens. Their murder rate is twice as much as the US. School children are dead because RINOs and liberals passed laws to leave our kids sitting ducks for armed maniacs. Government schools have no security personnel while every politician that works in a Government building is secured to the teeth. What’s more important, our children or the likes of Feinstein?

Posted on December 16, 2012 at 11:29pmAR-15 rifles are being used more often by hunters. These rifles are lighter, weather resistant, waterproof, easier to clean, better for customization, replacement parts are cheaper, and serve more than one purpose. Hunting, target shooting, competition, home defense, and homeland security. It’s a multi-purpose, all weather, all terrain, firearm. Only a novice or ignorant liberal wouldn’t know of its useful value. Hey, and they come in many calibers. You can switch the upper for a lighter caliber like for varmint, or switch it to a higher one for deer season. It’s more affordable in the long run. Feinstein doesn’t know jack..

Posted on December 17, 2012 at 12:41amEncinom, you are hopeless coward. Number one, the 2nd Amendment is to defend one’s self against tyranny. It is not about hunting.
Second, had the disarmed jews of Europe been armed, they could have defended themselves. But no, cowardly punks like you go along with despots and allow people to be disarmed. You are a shameless coward.
You don’t like the law, get your buddies to amend the Constitution. But no, you are too cowardly for that too. So you and your buddies in the law will just “interpret” the Constitution in a new way, take away the right to bear arms, and leave more people victims.
Fact little boy. Fact. Fact is that every criminal scoffs at gun laws. So the only ones who will be subject to the laws are the law-abiding.
You are a clown Encinom. A coward. And not anything close to American.

Why do you need the ability to petition the government for the redress of grievances?
My point?
Rights are not predicated on need.
Furthermore, an assault rifle has three distinct characteristics according to the United States military.
1. The firearm must be chambered to an intermediate cartridge.
2. The firearm must have a detachable box magazine.
3. The firearm must be capable of selective fire.

Or is it more sinister and they are now going to label hand guns as assault weapons? You realze, a while back, they dropped the RIFLE, and called them assault weapons, right? I think I’ll save my money and buy a hand gun before it’s illegal. I wouldn’t know where to go to illegally get a gun.

Do you think the same drug dealer suppling people there fix while also be selling illegal weapons?
Of the 8, 567 murders committed with a Firearm in 2011, reported by FBI, only 323 of the 8, 567 murders involved a rifle. 1668 murders using a knife, should we ban Knives? 728 murders involving hand and feet, yet only 323 involving a rifle and some want to ban Rifles. Facts or Facts.
From 2000 – 2011 – over 400,000 people where killed in automobile accidents. I do not see anyone crying about banning automobiles.
United States was arming drug cartels in Mexico because they could not get there hands on guns, thank you Eric Holder. “Rebels” in Libya, and Syria did not have the weapons to overthrow the legal Government, Do not worry, the same people wanting to disarm Americans are providing weapons to help these rebels overthrow their government.

Posted on December 17, 2012 at 11:44amFeinstein is a hypocrit of the highest order. She has a concealed carry permit and has on several occasions stated that she herself carries a handgun for protection after she received death threats. Now she wants to take away everyone else’s rights to protect themselves in the same way she doe She like other dems will and are trying to use the CT shootings to justify their stance on this. One dem I never thought I’d see do it but now has is lifetime NRA member Joe Manchin from WV. I’m just glad to say I didn’t vote for him.
Let’s not forget as well that gun control laws don’t stop mass shootings. One of the worst, if not the worst, mass shootings in history took place recently in Norway, a country where guns are banned.

We ask President Obama to stand with law abiding gun owners in this time of tragedy. Guns laws could not have prevented Adam Lanza from killing 27 innocents. The real question is what made this disturbed young man into a murderer of children. Where is the outrage at the violent video games he played? A piece of plastic and steel doesn’t have a will Mr. President. Evil is not law abiding, and Adam Lanza stole those guns after failing to buy one legally. it is America’s law abiding gun owners who would have died with Victoria Soto and Dawn Hochsprung defending the children with only our bodies on December 14th, because it was already illegal to bring a gun into that school. Please don’t pander to the politics Mr. President. A feeding frenzy of new gun legislation is not the answer.

TO REPEAT: 93% of the FELONS claim to be DEMOCRATS.
The other part of this: When jerks like Matthews and Schultz et al try to denigrate the TEA PARTY…it never works with us….why? Because we KNOW that people who believe in the CONSERVATIVE POV
do not go out with guns to hurt other people; we don’t use violence and mop mentality to prove our point.

Posted on December 17, 2012 at 11:52amLiberalism is mental disorder ~ Dr. MS…Do these fools forget that Columbine took place at the height of the Clinton AW Ban. After 9/11 the US Congress passed regulations to allow pilots to volunteer to carry firearms on aircraft to protect the aircraft from a hi-jacking, now for the question.. did they do this because 19 hijackers killed 3000 Americans or was it because they realized that two aircraft were assigned to attack the pentagon and the US Capital. The fact is if the WTC was not hit first, then the US Capital and Pentagon would have been successful. AND they…the politicians would have been dead. And so the only way to protect themselves was to arm the pilots. They did not do it for the sake of the people killed in the WTC. Politicians thrive on “helping” people and making legislation, it is the reason the Drug War is never going to end and the reason they will not work to have trained teachers and administrators armed in a school. You can’t just have one security guard to protect a school. Most times it will deter, but look at NYC, Detroit, Chicago, they all have security, yet they all have massive violence in their schools. And if did work then the killer will just find another soft target, play grounds, private day cares, stores, sporting events. Cost saving option is to have teachers volunteer and trained to deal with the attack. Police are always minutes away. God Bless those children killed by this fool and those who sacrificed to try to save them.

Posted on December 16, 2012 at 9:51pmThe term “assault weapon” is a political construct designed to blur distinction. By definition, and assault weapon is a fully automatic weapon. The last time we had a major incident involving automatic weapons was the North Hollywood bank shootout – in 1997.
Since it occurred in Feinstein’s own state, one would think she would know that. But I don’t think she knows what a fully automatic weapon is. She should ask one of her bodyguards to explain it to her.

Posted on December 16, 2012 at 11:00pmRon Paul acts to remove so-called Gun-Free School Zones
by Whaleoil on December 17, 2012
Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) has introduced a bill in the House that would allow teachers to carry firearms onto public school grounds. Gun-control groups call it an “extremist” bill.
H.R. 2613, the Citizens Protection Act of 2011, would repeal the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 and remove all federally created criminal safety zones.
The Gun-Free School Zones Act makes it “unlawful for any individual knowingly to possess a firearm at a place that the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is a school zone.” …….
In a news release, the group argued that the Gun-Free School Zones Act protects criminals, asserting that such attacks as Columbine, Virginia Tech and Fort Hood “all occurred in government facilities where the private possession of firearms was prohibited.”
“It’s time to say NO to criminal safe zones,” the release said. “And a great place to start is the blatantly unconstitutional Gun-free School Zones Act.”
Time to get behind this legislation .. and get it passed through the House!

Posted on December 17, 2012 at 1:58pmWow Encinom, you really are just a socialist lemming, but you do work to make your self look as foolish as possible. i don’t understand why each day you log on this conservative blog and spout things that no conservative would ever believe if your goal is to erode conservative support. So you really are convincing no one, accomplishing nothing other than to show that conservatives are correct because people like you exist. If anything you strengthen the resolve of conservatives. So keep posting, keep your idiocy rolling to stoke our fires. you are doing a service to your country. Long live conservatives, and may this guy keep our ranks filling. Thanks Enc.

Posted on December 16, 2012 at 8:25pmApparently,bathe esteemed senator from the Left coast heard only the initial reports.
Dianne, there was no use of an assault rifle, so you are barking at the wrong moon.
I could argue that for herd nuisance animals like wild hogs bigger clips are beneficial.
I could argue that for simple hooting sports 30 rounds without pause is fun.
I could point out the jamming of the magazine in Colorado may have saved lives.
I will argue that as our debt mandates we follow Greece and embrace austerity, the 47% who have come to expect everything for free will be angry. There won’t be enough police. They won’t take it out on just the millionaires or the politicians who encouraged their dependency… Politicians like you, Dianne. After stealing my money and giving it away for years, the ‘class lash’ you have helped promulgate is why thinking, capable, self-reliant Americans DO need these weapons and magazines.
You think taking the weapons and accessories from the law abiding pubic is the answer, Dianne?

Posted on December 16, 2012 at 11:12pm@Encimon Yeah, because there are no countries today that have set up regimes and oppressed their own people. Go back to lala land where you belong.
This sentence comes from Thomas Jefferson’s first draft of the Virginia Constitution, “No freeman shall ever be debarred the use of arms.”
“And that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press, or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms.” Samuel Adams, (February 6, 1788), reported in Charles Hale, Debates and Proceedings in the Convention of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (1856), p. 86.
“[W]hen the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great Britain, the British Parliament was advised by an artful man, who was governor of Pennsylvania, to disarm the people; that it was the best and most effectual way to enslave them; but that they should not do it openly, but weaken them, and let them sink gradually,” At Virginia’s U.S. Constitution ratification convention (June 14, 1788), reported in Elliot, Debates of the Several State Conventions 3:380.
“The rights of conscience, of bearing arms, of changing the government, are declared to be inherent in the people.” Fisher Ames, Primary Author of the First Amendment, Letter to F.R. Minoe, June 12, 1789 (reporting to Minoe on the amendments proposed by Madison).

“repeal the outdated relic of a bygone era.”
Your first amendment is the same age, so is your fourth repeal all of those too since the second is baring reasonable regulation so must the first and fourth. Hey the thirteenth is getting old too so that needs to be repealed too.

Posted on December 16, 2012 at 8:21pmWe all knew this was coming back in 2008. It’s sad the way a few abused their 2nd amendment right. That’s all many Americans see. I can’t blame American citizens for wanting them band. They don’t understand that there are millions of them out there not being used in a massacring way. Seems like the few dictate what rules the majority. I hate that these recent events have transpired. I hate to also see the loss of freedoms. Americans use to own Automatic weapons too. Sadly that right was taken away because of the mob. It’s the heart of the American people that needs to change. Not the laws. Laws just give a way to condemn the accused. They do nothing to protect.

Posted on December 16, 2012 at 8:46pm“Who needs these military-style assault weapons? Who needs an ammunition feeding device capable of holding 100 rounds?” Feinstein wrote on her campaign website. “These weapons are not for hunting deer — they’re for hunting people.”
That is right FeenSteen, they are to protect us from a tyrannical agenda that you and your democrat communists are trying to work in under the table, off the radar, little by little. LOL, you people smuggle weapons to the most violent drug gangs in Mexico (guns that killed agent Terry,, arm AlQaeda rebels (that killed 4 americans in Benghazi), to overthrow other governments in the mid east so you can put the muslim brothers in power, and you want to disarm the american people? LAUGHABLE,
You can attempt to pass any law you want, but americans are not going to comply with your tyrannical dreams of total control over the american people. 70% of americans are armed to protect themselves and family, GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

Posted on December 16, 2012 at 10:05pmThis is another insane bleeding heart liberal that feigns outrage when there’s a mass shooting, all the while supporting the murder of 2,200+ babies each and every day. 800,000+ babies are killed annually because of policies this nut supports.
Her motives are far from pure. Gun control is not about guns or kids, it’s about control. The 2nd Amendment must stand strong. There’s a reason for it, and a damn good one.
Drowning, suffocation, vehicles, falls, burns, household chemicals and natural causes all kill more kids than guns do. Perspective is important.

Posted on December 16, 2012 at 10:39pmOnly the insane, paranoid fools believe they have a right to military style weapons, and they are the ones that should never have them.
No American has a right to assault rifles, semi or fully automatic. No Americans should own them and those currently owned should be taken and owners arrested if they resist. No more Newtons, no more slaughters of the innocents. Its time for the adults to spank the paranoid children and take away their toys.

Posted on December 16, 2012 at 11:44pm@NEOFAN Exactly. Stupid liberals like Encimon want innocent, defenseless children to wait in front of a madman until police come. I’m sick and tired of their ignorance and lies. Everyone in that school followed these progressive laws and stayed unarmed, and relied on the armed police to protect them. They got slaughtered. These liberals hold no facts or weight to their perverted policies, they’re sick.
Our fathers during the American Revolution owned the same arms the continental army used. Some of them even owned private cannons. Some regiments relied on the arms of citizens when in short supply. Only the insane, ignorant liberals believe they have no right to defend themselves against a tyrant. They are the Benedict Arnolds of our day.
The Constitution states “arms”, not firearms, swords, knives, matches, or clubs. It does not prohibit or limit by cosmetics or effectiveness. When the British sent their troops to our towns to disarm us and take our arms and ammunition away, local residents gathered together and kicked their arses so dan hard that the whole world heard them. No more Liberals dominating the talk from now own. No more slaughtering of innocent, helpless children will occur in schools. Its time for us adults to act with common sense and set up and demand adequate protection in the schools of our kids. It’s time parents start governing their own local schools, and kick the liberals in Washington out of our towns.

Posted on December 16, 2012 at 8:20pmTake all the guns away, and you still have not changed the human heart. Only God can do that and only when the human heart lets Him in.
We are trying to explain a theological problem w/science and psychology. This man was not mentally ill, he was no more inherently evil than any of the rest of us. He was demon possessed. I have seen the mentally ill and worked with them for years. I have seen a few souls that were possessed of “unclean spirits.” There is a qualitative difference. Human evil kills its mother. Cosmic evil flattens school house roofs on top of children. Pair up cosmic evil with human evil, this is what you get — mass carnage committed by one or more human agents. It did not take Rwandans long to kill one MILLION of their fellow countrymen. They also did not need guns to do the job. They need machetes and fire.
You cannot out-think cosmic evil. Neither can you legislate cosmic evil out of existence. The best you can hope for it to mitigate its effects. In this case, the sound of police nearing ended w/the demon pointing the gun back on its host.

Posted on December 16, 2012 at 8:27pmExcellent point. The worst school assault that killed the most students was in 1927. Copy and paste this name into your search engines, Andrew Kehoe. While you are at it, look this guy up too, Paul Harold Orgeron. Killed fewer but a similar assault. Where there is a will, there is a way. We need to watch for those who are evil, criminal, or criminally evil. Not blame everybody who owns a gun. I own guns, I am retired Army, and a former cop. Does that make me evil now?

Posted on December 17, 2012 at 4:57amShe doesn’t even know that ASSAULT weapons are FULLY automatic, which I think have been outlawed since the Tommy Gun in the 1930s (an excellent military weapon BEFORE it was used by gangsters). Anything that you pull the trigger once for each shot is semi-automatic (guess maybe a revolver qualifies, as does a 9MM). MAINLY, technology can NEVER be rolled back – so modern guns will NOT disappear.
The problem needs to be dealt with by countermeasures. See John Lott’s message that Europe (contrary to recent politician’s opinions) has nearly the same amount of such mass murders as we do despite stringent gun laws). He points out that mass murderers CHOOSE GUN-FREE ZONES. e.g. in Colorado, the killer did NOT go to the nearest movie theater to him nor to the largest movie theater (equidistant from the theater he DID go to). He went to the ONLY 1 of 7 theaters that was posted as a GUN-FREE ZONE. Concealed Carry for teachers could help.

Posted on December 16, 2012 at 8:12pmThis is so stupid…more gun bans will not help, they will only divide the country even more.
The Sandy Hook shooter could not get a gun legally because of the strict gun laws that are already in place, so he killed his mother and took her guns.
I don’t think that it will be possible…not easily at least…for the government to take away our guns. But if they do take our guns, then the only people that will get guns will be criminals like this one.
What the government needs to outlaw and regulate are the violent video games that are available to our kids. These games teach youngsters how to kill and they remove any sense of morals…no remorse for killing people. These video games ingrain a mentality of disassociation in the minds of those that play them. It is not guns that cause the crime, it is the mentality of the shooter.

It will do NONE of those items listed.
- It WILL spark a nationwide buying frenzy of said weapons and ammunition that the country has never seen, even greater than what was witnessed after Obama’s re-election.
- It will incite long overdue contempt for the tyrannical officials currently holding office.
