USA –-(Ammoland.com)- New information about U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein’s promised new gun “control” legislation that seeks to ban “assault weapons” and “high-capacity” ammunition magazines has just been released.
The California Democrat shares a summary of her proposed bill, entitled “Summary of 2013 Feinstein Assault Weapons Legislation,” on her Senate website. And by the looks of things, it seeks more than just bans. From Senator Feinstein’s website:
Summary of 2013 legislation: Following is a summary of the 2013 legislation:
Bans the sale, transfer, importation, or manufacturing of:
- 120 specifically-named firearms
- Certain other semiautomatic rifles, handguns, shotguns that can accept a detachable magazine and have one military characteristic
- Semiautomatic rifles and handguns with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10 rounds
Strengthens the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban and various state bans by:
- Moving from a 2-characteristic test to a 1-characteristic test
- Eliminating the easy-to-remove bayonet mounts and flash suppressors from the characteristics test
- Banning firearms with “thumbhole stocks” and “bullet buttons” to address attempts to “work around” prior bans
- Bans large-capacity ammunition feeding devices capable of accepting more than 10 rounds.
Protects legitimate hunters and the rights of existing gun owners by:
- Grandfathering weapons legally possessed on the date of enactment
- Exempting over 900 specifically-named weapons used for hunting or sporting purposes and
- Exempting antique, manually-operated, and permanently disabled weapons
Requires that grandfathered weapons be registered under the National Firearms Act, to include:
- Background check of owner and any transferee;
- Type and serial number of the firearm;
- Positive identification, including photograph and fingerprint;
- Certification from local law enforcement of identity and that possession would not violate State or local law; and
- Dedicated funding for ATF to implement registration
Note that part about “requires that grandfathered weapons be registered under the National Firearms Act.”
(Editor’s note: Italics added for emphasis)
The discussion of the bill summary can be found on her website here. A a .pdf of the bill summary is here.

Dave S. Constitutional attorney Stewart Rhodes will explain it for you. …"The whole point of the Second Amendment is to preserve the military capacity of the American people – to preserve the ability of the people, who are the militia, to provide for their own security as individuals, as neighborhoods, towns, counties, and states, during any emergency, man-made or natural; to preserve the military capacity of the American people to resist tyranny and violations of their rights by oath breakers within government; and to preserve the military capacity of the people to defend the Constitution against all enemies, both foreign… Read more »
Its amazing how NRA membership is going up, wish all the freeloaders (gun owners who weren't members)had joined BEFORE the election. The extra cash could have swayed the election, but people don't think it will happen to them. Its ok if its someone elses guns, magazines or rights. Write, call or fax YOUR representative to give your opinion on this issue. Keep the info clean, concise and above all no profane language, that will get your response put in outgoing trash pile.
The gun genie is out of the bottle; has been for centuries. That wacko could have taken my S&W 357 revolver with a box of 50 loose rounds and done the same as he did with what he did. I am a retired master gunsmith. I've seen and handled thousands of firearms. I have yet to see, or even hear, of one jumping off a table all by itself and shooting someone. I'm also part Native American, and the aforementioned wackjob could have taken my tomahahawk and done the same thing. OMG, is an Assault Hawk Ban next? Seriously, the… Read more »
I just wrote both my senators on the assalut weapopns ban. I mentioned aboput the $200 tax she has placed in it for each firearm. I mentioned that I didn't feel it was correct in charging me a price for my freedom when we have the second amendment. This bill is too far reaching into a individuals privacy. Fingerprints, photographs. They already have this on me due to my CWP. I mentioned that if anything just have a exchange program for your high capacity magazine for a five round magazine and nothing more. These rifles in this bill are very… Read more »
I have seen so much violence on television that portray criminals achieving their violent crimes in different ways. Yes it is only fiction, Mr. Lapierre’s statement about video games and music being responsible for the influence of real life crimes of violence. In his defense I must say that he is correct. I have served in the Navy for 14 years and witnessed our destructive nature in other countries, including our own country, I have seen teenagers waiting at game stops for the latest Call of Duty games. The online play with these games allows the player to kill human… Read more »
Let the crazy s*it hit the fan! Looks like a war brewing here at home.
they can't do this it's unconstitutional.my friend in the army said that he was swarn in to protect the constitution.and the right to bear arms is the second amendment. so that if he wanted to be could do what ever he wanted to do to senator Diane be cause she is threatening the constitution.
Dave SThe true revolution would be if responsible gun owners and the NRA would come up with some reasonable regulations. No. what that would be is caving into stupidity. You left turds are always pointing out your superior intellect so why is it that the left has no idea what the Second Amendment means. Next we already do lived in an armed camp and who cares what supreme court judges interpret its what the founding said. As for a revolution lets also do away with equal rights, freedom of speech, 16 th amendment and entitlements too.
