And why do they keep calling magazines "clips"? Its like calling any 4 wheeled vehicle a "truck". It identifies the writer as someone who knows very little about guns.

Lawyer Leahy will say he voted against it here in Vermont, and dummies will believe him.

And Feinstein should be censured by the Senate for wasting the nation´s time on something so blatantly in violation of the Constitution.

"The President thanked the committee for approving the bill, saying in a statement that the weapons ´are designed for the battlefield and have no place on our streets, in our schools or threatening our law enforcement officers.´ "

They keep saying this. It is as though none of them have bothered to read the case law on the subject. U.S. v. Miller specifically says the Second Amendment protects the ownership of military-type weapons appropriate for use in an organized militia.

Feinstein pulled a Clinton and Boxer stance.
She touted her long experience in government and that she was insulted by what she called a lecture. Well, she´s old, decrepid, self centered, old, moss covered, individual who needs to be replaced.

She never answered the question because the answer would be the simple direct truth and that would not do.

She should retire or be thrown out of office.

hey commie stine up yours

No. 3, I´m glad the Senate is spending time on this. If it spent more time on taxes and spending, those things would just be more screwed up. I know, I know--how could those things be screwed up even more than they are now? Well, they could since big-government Republicans and Democrats (saying "big-government" for the Democratss would just be redundant) appear to control both the Senate and the House.

Oh, for some more politicians in the mold of Ted Cruz.

Dems don´t care about "assault weapons." Their real objective is the universal background check, which will be framed as "common sense," which it is not, as it is a precurser to confiscation. The deadly serious trouble with gun control starts in 2015 if the democrats take the House. Anything can happen with creepy obama, holder, feinstein et al unconstrained. Grab a tight rein.

DiFi is supposed to be smarter than Boxer, but based on what she said, she´s no smarter than my cousin´s boxer.

More people killed by knives, clubs, fists, and strangulation than by AR-15 type rifles. The Dems intentions are clear...step by step eliminate the second amendment. They are frightened of an armed society as well they should be. Even though poor at history they remember the American and French revolutions. The Declaration of Independence spell its out...tyrannical governments should be overthrown by force if necessary.

´Assault weapons´ reminds me of that ´fast and furious´ program. How is that investigation going, MAIN STREAM MEDIA? Not enough irony for you? No one coming forward? Imagine if Bush had forced an AZ gun dealer to sell hundreds of weapons to obvious drug gang members. No, paid progressives, Operation Buckboard or Rawhide, whatever the small effort at tracking illegal gun sales during Bush´s term, was NOT the same as Fast and Furious, but you win, no one cares.

This potential law is a bother only for law abiding gun owners, and surely not for criminals, and the criminally insane who are intent on setting out on their own personal suicide by cop mission, as criminals and the criminally insane do not obey such laws.

Our streets are very likely the battlefields of the future. Prepare accordingly.
