Senator Dianne Feinstein released a memo<\/a> yesterday in which she announced the intention of a score of Democrat Senators to reintroduce an “assault weapon ban” to Congress. In the memo, she says that the group, including the usual suspects like valor thief, The Dick Blumenthal and Chuck Schumer, will specifically name 205 firearms which will be the targets of the ban and specifically exempt “more than 2,200 guns for hunting, household defense or recreational purposes” you know, as if they know which firearm is best for you and suits your purposes.<\/p>\n

Oh, by the way, there will be a “grandfather clause” so if you hurry out and buy one of the targeted modern sporting rifles now, you can own it after the ban takes effect. So, obviously, the Senators’ intent is to pump up rifle and ammo sales before Christmas. <\/p>\n

You know if these rifles are so dangerous, they should just ban them outright, but then they’d be assured of a political loss when they can’t get the votes to forbid possession of the rifles. The Senators think that they can incrementally encroach on our rights this way.<\/p>\n

Feinstein additionally warns about other measures they put on their Christmas list;<\/p>\n

\n Requires a background check on any future sale, trade or gifting of an assault weapon covered by the bill.<\/p>\n

Requires that grandfathered assault weapons are stored using a secure gun storage or safety device like a trigger lock.<\/p>\n

Prohibits the transfer of high-capacity ammunition magazines.<\/p>\n

Bans bump-fire stocks and other devices that allow semi-automatic weapons to fire at fully automatic rates.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t know how they figure that they’re going to get folks who sell guns out of their trucks in darkened parking lots and back alleys to conduct background checks, but there it is, another measure that only affects law-abiding citizens more than it affects crime or actual gun safety. <\/p>\n

I also don’t know how they’re going to ensure that I have trigger locks on my guns inside my home – unless they also plan on violating another of my Constitutional rights which prohibits unjustified searches.<\/p>\n

The Democrats are ensuring that Republicans triumph in the mid-term elections next year with the “assault weapon” ban, as well as helping with gun sales with their ill-considered grandfather clause. If they’re going to commit political suicide, they should go for an outright ban on sporting rifles and magazines. If they were truly committed to their intentions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
