Feinstein rumored to be pushing semi-auto ban if Obama reelected

Feinstein rumored to be pushing semi-auto ban if Obama reelected

California Senator Dianne Feinstein‘s Washington, D.C. “…staff held meetings on Friday with FTB/ATF [Firearms Technology Branch/ Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives] legal staff to discuss a new ‘Assault Weapons Ban,” Jim Shepherd of The Shooting Wire reported yesterday, characterizing the meeting as a “rumor” based on “pretty good intelligence.”

Feinstein’s rumored bill “would ban pistol grips and "high-capacity" magazines, eliminate any grandfathering and ban sales of ‘weapons in possession’" Shepherd writes.

Rumors, Acquisitions and Elections
November 5, 2012

Don't have the minutes of the meeting (yet), but sources tell me California Senator and longtime gun-hater Dianne Feinstein's legal staff held meetings on Friday with FTB/ATF legal staff to discuss a new "Assault Weapons Ban" Madame Feinstein would be looking to push through Congress if President Obama wins reelection.

This same "pretty good intelligence" says the items that would lead to a ban would ban pistol grips and "high-capacity" magazines, eliminate any grandfathering and ban sales of "weapons in possession". I don't know about you, but if these things come to pass and I'm "in possession" I'm certainly not selling. In fact, the lack of interest in the idea surprised the California liberal's legal staffers. Apparently, they believe no logical person could possible disagree with them.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't begin (or end) with a rumor, but today and tomorrow aren't exactly ordinary days. Today is the final day before the general election, and in case you haven't noticed there are plenty of significant items on ballots across the nation.

But the outcome of the presidential race will say a lot about where we're headed as a nation- and as shooters. If you are registered to vote and haven't already voted via absentee ballot, delay whatever you had planned for tomorrow short of life-saving surgery and get to the polls.

On Friday, I began receiving the first reports of increases in gun buying by people concerned about tomorrow's election. Dealers in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Indiana all tell me there hasn't been a huge number of buyers expressing those concerns, but the numbers were noticeable.

So this is how the post election panic buying begins.

Well, you had to know its coming. It's the man's second term fer christ's sake. The Dems aren't dumb enough to think they could get it passed during his first term. That would be political suicide. Once the next mass shooting happens (and it'll happen during this term), you'll see what Obama meant when he said "Change".

357ross · November 07, 2012, 13:53

Why would Feinstein need to do anything? Now the election is over, Obummer can just pick up a pen and sign another executive order to do the same thing.

If that fails, there's the UN Small Arms (ban) Treaty - which doesn't require the House at all.

Want to bet a lot of the agenda gets passed through similar means?

Not since the parasite known as communists, er democraps, came along. Hell, we used to have real elections, politicians used to respect voter opinions about such things as socialized medicine, corporate bailouts, ect. ect. The constitution, bill of rights, declaration of independence means NOTHING to this current crop we 're-elected'. Your post is sound, but these bastards don't see it as law, just some old rag to ignore.

Since Congress will pass nothing for or against firearms, it will all be by Executive Orders, and ATF changing the rules as the UN wants.

Don't hope for the next president to change anything.................once SCOTUS is gone....................no 2nd amendment or maybe the end of the 2nd, will be part of the constitutional amendment package to lift presidential term limits........
