Never mind.

WASHINGTON — Two days after the shooting deaths of 26 people at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school, Sen. Dianne Feinstein pledged Sunday that she would introduce new gun-control legislation at the beginning of next year’s congressional session.
“It [the bill] will ban the sale, the transfer, the transportation and the possession,” the California senator said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “Not retroactively, but prospectively. And it will ban the same for big clips, drums or strips of more than 10 bullets.”

The emotions of this case are going to go a long way in persuading too many into going along with it.
Gird your loins and don't count on any support from those who should interject common sense into this incident.
JMHO.
“It would require turning these in or having them confiscated and/or likely a felony to be caught in possession.”
“CWII Likely”: Magic 8 ball
Dingy Harry won’t ever let it come to a vote in the Senate. After all, he was endorsed by the NRA.
I warned all in Missouri they needed to get out and vote for Akin. Failure to do so would result in the re-election of Mother McCaskill. She will most assuredly sign on to this crap as she has all the rest of Obi's agenda.
Never mind.
Did Fineswine call for a ban on air travel after 9/11?
“And it will ban the same for big clips, drums or strips of more than 10 bullets.”
Well hey, as long as it doesn’t ban *magazines*, I’m cool with it. ;-)
It sounds as though the Red Chinese and the Iranians have started putting pressure on Feinstein to do something about “gun control”.
Democrats want a Civil war, they keep pushing they might get one.
I have had a bellyful of Democrat crap.
If she is accurate in that the proposed bill will be written prospectively and not retroactively then it will be a de-facto grandfathering of previously possessed weapons and magazines.

A retroactively effective law is an Ex Post Facto Law and violates Article I, Section 9, Clause 3, and Section 10, Clause 1, of the U.S. Constitution.

If she introduced a bill to that effect, she knows that it would fail, so it would just be done for show.
What is worrisome is if she gets the bill attacked to some “must pass” legislation. The two most horrific examples of this come to mind with the last two NDAA bills, that had awful, terrible, and unconstitutional provisions added to them.
And the Republicans were so utterly spineless that they passed the bills anyway.
One of these provisions was for the detention of American citizens by the military. Is that enough of a violation of your constitutional rights? So do you think for an instant the spineless ones would hesitate to vote in favor of a gun control bill inserted in there?
“But...but...but...we *have* to fund the military!”, they squeal, like the co-dependent pleasure piggies they are.
We need a government control bill.
Not retroactively, but prospectively.
What the heck does that mean?
Yes. It could very well pass.
Demographics have changed quite a bit since 1994. NRA/2A supporters are overwhelmingly white males and we just don't have the numbers we used to. Sad truth is, outside of the ever-shrinking white male demographic, there's no great love in this country for assault rifles and high-cap magazines.
And come Christmas morning when we turn on our TVs to scenes of grieving parents, unopened presents and little coffins getting lowered into the ground, every minivan-driving soccer mom across the land will be screaming for Obama and congress to do something.
Buy 'em now!
“Sen. Dianne Feinstein pledged Sunday that she would introduce new gun-control legislation at the beginning of next year’s congressional session.”
Where it will get buried in committee and forgotten. Even the Dems know this dog won’t hunt. They are hoping to get the House back in 2014 and with Boehner’s help it may happen so they will not rock the gun boat.
Her bill was already written - has been written for years. She said a few weeks ago, she was introducing this bill again. Now that these shootings happened, I think it will pass.

How many times has Feinstein introduce her “new” gun grab bill in the last 4 years?
I suspect more than once.
What the heck does that mean?
It means you can't buy any new ones but you can keep the ones you already own (she'll come for those later).
DiFi isn't stupid. She wants an AWB that actually has a chance of passing.
this too old to legislate liberal needs to lead the way by giving up her guns...
I am afraid this legislation if passed wil be more horrendeously unenforced and create more crime and criminals than prohibition and may spark a real civil war...
these people are either really stupid or just trying to use a crisis to their advantage...
