Washington DC – -(Ammoland.com)- When Adam Lanza committed his horrific crime at Sandy Hook Elementary, he misused a Bushmaster brand AR-15 to do it.
That gun would be banned by Dianne Feinstein’s newly unveiled “Assault Weapons Ban of 2013,” but it would hardly be the only weapon outlawed.
The ban covers “all AR types,” including but not limited to:
AR-10, AR-15, Bushmaster ACR, Bushmaster Carbon 15, Bushmaster MOE Series, Bushmaster XM15, Colt Match Target Rifles, Doublestar AR rifles, DPMS Tactical Rifles, Heckler & Koch MR556, Olympic Arms, Remington R-15 rifles, Rock River Arms LAR-15, Sig Sauer SIG516 rifles, Smith & Wesson M&P 15 rifles
In addition to the AR, these are some of the other rifles banned as well:
AK, AK-47, AK-47S, AK-74, AKM, AKS, ARM, MAK90, MISR, NHM90, NHM91, Rock River Arms LAR-47, SA85, SA93, Vector Arms AK-47, VEPR, WASR-10, and WUM, IZHMASH Saiga AK, MAADI AK-47, and ARM, Norinco 56S, 56S2, and 86S, Poly technologies AK-47 and AKS
The list also includes, but is not limited to, the following pistols:
American Spirit AR-15 pistol, Bushmaster Carbon 15 pistol, Doublestar Corporation AR pistol, DPMS AR pistol, Olympic Arms AR-15 pistol, Rock River Arms LAR 15 pistol, Calico Liberty pistols, DSA SA58 PKP FAL pistol, Encom MP-9 and MP-45, Heckler & Koch model SP-89 pistol, Intratec AB-10, TEC 22 Scorpion, TEC 9, and TEC DC9
The ban would also include, but is not limited to, the following shotguns:
Franchi LAW 12 and SPAS 12, all IZMASH Saiga 12 types including IZMASH Saiga 12, IZMASH Saiga 12S, IZMASH Saiga 12S EXP-01, IZMASH Saiga 12K, IZMASH Saiga 12K-040 Taktika, Streetsweeper, and Striker 12
These guns represent only 40% of what Feinstein ultimately wants to ban. We’re supposed to believe that this extensive list of guns is all driven by the fact that a criminal misused an AR-15 on Dec. 14th?
The number of weapons listed here proves that the real goal is to end importation and sale of these weapons so that registration can be implemented and the exact location of every gun and every gun owner can be ascertained.
And as the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre pointed out on Tuesday night, once such registration begins, we’ll quickly learn there are only two possible reasons for it: 1) to tax all gun owners or 2) to seize all guns.

She stated in an interview that she'd been working on this bill for a year. This has nothing to do with Sandy Hook and has more to do with what Ethan said.
This list is a joke. These aren't assault weapons there sporting, hunting and self deense tools. Feinstein don't know shit about the second amendment and these tools. The House should defeat this ban.
One of the most bizzare items on her list are AR's that use .22LR rounds… apparently, just because they LOOK scary. Although not specifically named, the S&W M&P AR15/22 will undoubtedly be lumped in with the S&W M&P AR-15, which IS on the list. While I know it is capable of killing, it certainly doesn't meet the description of "HIGH-POWERED ASSAULT WEAPON." There are a number of other modern sporting rifles in that category that will undoubtedly be included in the ban…. Mossberg's comes to mind. Whatever happened to the thinking that they are primarily for target and varmint usage… Read more »
It's all about disarming the American people so they can destroy our country,murder us and our children and steal our stuff.
Sen. Fiendstein had better take a closer look at her own state before she tries to fix the nation. The Peoples Republic of Californication, especially LA, has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country, but has the most violent crime rates there are. The same can be said for Chicago, Detroit, Trenton, New York City, and Washington, D.C. What we need are less old hags serving decades as representatives of the people and being completely out-of-touch with reality. We also need to get rid of "NO GUN ZONES" and established better carry laws or even open carry… Read more »

Adam Lanza DID NOT USE AN AR-15! It was in the trunk of his mother's car.
