Feinstein, Obama to Continue Push for Gun, Magazine Ban; Magpul Stands Firm with

[IN50]

On Monday, the Senate announced that Sen. Dianne Feinstein's(D-Calif.) gun and magazine ban legislation (S. 150) will not be a part of theSenate’s base gun control bill, but that Feinstein will be allowed to offer itas an amendment to the gun control bill, the primary element of which is aproposal by Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) that would criminalize the privatetransfer of firearms between law-abiding Americans. The legislation is expectedto be considered the week of April 8.

Feinstein’s legislation, which proposes to ban nearly every semi-automaticshotgun and detachable-magazine semi-automatic rifle, several other categoriesof firearms, and any ammunition magazine holding 11 or more rounds, will not beincluded in the Senate’s gun control bill at the outset, out of concern that itwould decrease the chance of Schumer’s legislation being approved.

Also aimed at boosting Schumer’s effort, New York City Nanny-in-Chief MichaelBloomberg’s anti-gun group, MAIG, is running an ad showing a few lawenforcement agency employees, who are supposed to impartially enforce lawsadopted by legislatures, instead saying they “demand” that Congress pass thelaw that Schumer is proposing. As Bloomberg said today--not while ranting aboutguns, large soda pops, greasy hamburgers, or the retail display of cigarettepacks, but commenting on the inevitability of drones in America’sskies--“everybody everybody demagogues on all these things.”

Bloomberg is truly an enemy of liberty in so many ways.

Unfortunately for Feinstein, Andrew Cuomo jumped the gun with his draconian act that gave us all a view where this is headed.

Actually non-NYers should give kudos to Cuomo for triggering the trip-wire.

Just because it was taken out for consideration, at least part will be added back in throughout the process. I'm guessing the mag limit is the most feasible to add back in once the Senate confirms universal background checks.

You know what we should all do if any of this is passed? Ignore it totally! What would they do if 80 million people just ignore the new laws? 80 million angry, coordinated, and well armed people.
