Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) laid out the conditions of her proposed assault weapons ban Thursday, saying it would prohibit 158 specifically named military-style firearms.
“The purpose is to dry up the supply of these weapons over time,” Feinstein said. “Therefore, there is no sunset on this bill.”
Feinstein said the bill prohibits the sale, transfer, manufacture and importation of assault weapons and large capacity ammunition feeding devices that can accept more than ten rounds, but said it would not affect hunting or sporting firearms.
“Instead, the bill protects hunters and sportsmen by protecting 2,200 specifically-named weapons used for hunting or sporting purposes,” she said. “They are by make and model exempted from the legislation … Finally, the bill subjects existing or grandfathered weapons to a background check in the event the weapon is sold or transferred … We have tried to recognize legal hunting rights. We have tried to recognize legal defense rights. We have tried to recognize the right of a citizen to legally possess a weapon. No weapon is taken from anyone.”

Sadly there seems to be no “Sunset” for DiFi and her ilk here in Taxifornia. The uninformed continue to vote these takers into office for the promise of freebies to the non producers. The Dimocrat leadership has no clue or care that they are driving business and anyone with money out of California. In a short time all that will be left are the poor and illegals, good luck in getting the illegals and criminals to comply with their FASCIST laws! California is lost, the only way to avoid these Anti American Democrats who have become wealthy in office by turning on the people of the State is to leave California as fast as possible!
Some news organizations are mentioning that the press conference was opened with a prayer. Canon Gary Hall delivered the prayer. It looks like he’s an Episcopal, aka a heretic. Here’s a link to his “welcoming” church:

I also like how the church has carefully scrubbed their web page on marriage. They are careful to describe marriage as two people coming together in a lifelong commitment. They’re also big on social justice. Yep. Those buzz words generally tell me all I need to know.
Pagans have already co-opted our schools, government bureaucracy, and media. I guess they’re working on the military and churches now.
Time to buy 3D printing company stock before it becomes like Gold stocks.
A LAR-47 is not an “AK”. It’s a Rock River Arms AR chambered in 7.62x39mm. I understand how numbers can confuse the simple-minded.
Thanks for posting the infernal list, Okie.
Note to self: Invest NOW in weapons manufacturers of the above mentioned items.
As for DF, she and politicians/animals like her are the WORST FILTHY SCUM anyone could imagine. These are the people who would intentionally and without reservation, leave YOU and your family, children and all, vulnerable, open to attack, and possibly, well, DEAD. (either from criminals, or from a tyranically government) All so they can retain power.
That is how LITTLE they care for Americans.
She deserves NO LESS to hang. If we had a more rational and intelligent citizenry, this would be her fate.
Dear Ms. Diane The Tyrant,
The Second Amendment was NEVER about hunting or for the most part defensive weapons. It was SPECIFICLY drafted to deal with those that would abuse their Power in our form of government. In other words it specificly addressed the Citizens God Given Right to overthrow not our form of Government but those that would Subvert the Constitution.
Shoe-Meet Foot.
Kiss my Ass you NAZI wannabe.
Feinstein and husband Richard Blum have many Communist Party VIP friends and have accumulated untold wealth from Red China.. no wonder they were the first to spring into action . . . .
I invested in a 3d printer company on Dec 14. As of today, I have gained 51%.
There was in fact a 'sunset' for the Ceausescu fun couple. Goes by the name of "Romanian term limits." We need to get us some here.
Our Liberty, Freedoms and national identity are being systematically stripped from us.
If we let this this get through, there's nothing to give them pause to go for more.
It is time that we are heard and time that 'they' listen.
It’s Feinstein who should dry up and blow away.
I’m sick of these Dem Senators For Life. She should drop dead and leave my civil rights alone.
How about... No.
And there's this from 2001,
Chinese pilot Wang Wei twice "buzzed" the U.S. EP-3 Aries II plane over international waters, flying directly for the EP-3 Aries II, the F-8 hit the propeller of the U.S. plane's No. 1 engine causing the crash of the Chinese F-8.
I was angered that Ms Feinstein expressed her feelings "on behalf of the American people." I informed her in an angry letter that she did not speak for me. Her staff's reply was a copy of their publicity release claiming that she "did not apologize for the incident" and blamed confusion about her statements she made on "Crossfire;" she was expressing "sorrow that the Chinese pilot lost his life."
Best if the Americans apologise now - soon the Chinese could rule the US (2001)
"Dianne Feinstein, the senior senator from California, was unusual in rushing to apologise for the EP-3 incident."
(This article was not the source I was reacting to back then. My emphasis.)
I admit to being a bit confused on this registration issue. I bought a 9mm at a gun show. I filled out a couple forms, then waited two weeks before the weapon was sent by the manufacturer to a local gun store, where I picked up. A few years later I bought a .38 in a gun shop. I showed the clerk my CCW, and walked out in about five minutes with it. Are these weapons registered a la “Red Dawn?”
Richard Blum also was given wavers to flood the market with Chinese made SKS’s when Clinton signed the first AWB.
Something Diane the Nazi doesn’t want to talk about with the little people.
Thank you for the information.
Our Founders understood that it requires a simple, tireless minority to set brushfires across America in order to affect changes at a national level.
They understood that a position of absolute power corrupts even the most morally straight man and cows him into a lustful desire for money and more power.
But ultimately, they understood that the number of people who are neither the minority nor the power-hungry will always outnumber those who are and that fact alone should scare the minority and the power-hungry. That fear cannot be adequately effective without the force of arms, and for over a century now, the progressives have understood that keeping a standing army and gradually eroding the liberties of free men are both necessary to change the tides in their favor.
At this point, the progressives are on autopilot, navigating the seas, no matter how rough, in a massive ship that cannot be tipped by even the most formidable of waves. No ship, however, is sturdy enough or hardy enough to survive a tsunami across its bow provided every force of Nature comes together to push that wave in the purposeful direction of that boat.
The progressives have shown their hand. The takers in this country have pushed a tidal wave in our direction with the hope that we will be individually overwhelmed and left afloat in the sea with nothing more than the clothes on our backs. Without arms, we stand individually against a leviathan that can fire upon us with impunity and little cause for concern as those in the path of that fire will dive to avoid it; having to eventually come up again for air, they still hold that trump card.
If we give up our arms. If we voluntarily give up our means of self-defense and individual liberty, we, as a nation, will be lost to decades and probably centuries of abuses. It is contingent upon every free man and woman to muster up their souls to God's call to action. It is contingent that we, as Liberty-loving Americans, rise up against totalitarians who wish to do us harm and strike them down with a force more powerful than even that of a tsunami wave.
We must succeed and we must do it together, for we will all be subject to the whims of a totalitarian gunner on the deck of the SS Obama.

Something Diane the Nazi doesn’t want to talk about with the little people.
He most likely has a cargo Ship sitting out in the Pacific full of them as we speak, waiting for his NAZI wife to propose the legislation so his investment could triple before it hit American Soil.
Diane, your Treason will not soon be forgotten.
This Commie Crap Sammich needs to visit Auschwitz, where her unarmed brothers were ushered to their last showers; or to the killing fields in Cambodia or to Siberia, where thousands were murdered, defenseless.
They want us unarmed, they want us poor, they want us dependent, they want our health to be in their omnipotent and benevolent hands.
Liberals see themselves as God-like, smart, enlightened and all-knowing stewards of humanity. They can ease the pain of suffering and make everyone live in the tightly-banded lifestyle they will Centrally Plan for the rest of the stinky, unwashed tourists (the People whose tax dollars fund their largess) - to quote Harry Reid.
DiFi and the Communist Left want you dead. Your future to have light, but not too much light, unless you choose a Government path. Expensive energy. Expensive food. Cheap abortion and sub-standard, clinical healthcare.
Hard choices, some potentially life-threatening, are coming via the Obama Regime. The Progressive (Frankfurt School, Fabian Socialist, Marxist, Soviet-infiltrated) Left is giddy with the thought of moving the only roadblock (the USA) to their Global tyranny.
We are all that’s left. Europe is overrun. The Chinese are people-heavy and resources-light. The NWO is moving a light speed to make us vulnerable. If people like Rand Paul and the Right don’t stand up, the nation is gone.
