Democratic lawmakers, lead by notorious gun control advocate Senator Dianne Feinstein, unveiled a planned piece of gun control legislation today with, what many believe to be, the goal of curtailing the 2nd Amendment rights of millions of Americans.
The bill would ban what is being labeled as, “military style assault weapons and high capacity magazines.” The legislation goes alongside President Obama’s series of executive actions and proposals to supposedly limit gun violence in the wake of multiple mass shootings, most recently one that left over 20 children dead in Newtown, Connecticut.
A report by the liberal leaning Washington Post (which itself has heavily favored strict gun control for years) further explained what would be banned under the legislation that if passed would become permanent.
The “Assault Weapons Ban of 2013″ is a much more far-reaching proposal than the federal ban that expired in 2004,” reported the Washington Post.
“The proposal would ban the sale, transfer, manufacturing or importation of more than 150 specific firearms, including semiautomatic rifles or pistols that can be used with a detachable or fixed ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds and have specific military-style features, including pistol grips, grenade launchers or rocket launchers.”
