Washington (CNN) -- On one side were pegboard panels mounted with various assault rifles and semi-automatic weapons -- including a Bushmaster similar to the one used in last month's Newtown school massacre.
Behind the stage stood police officers supporting a renewed ban on such firepower. One by one, victims of gun violence told their brief stories and expressed support for a new federal ban being proposed by Sen. Dianne Feinstein on some assault rifles and semi-automatic weapons.

Feinstein's proposal would upgrade an assault weapons ban that expired in 2004 and also outlaw ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
She said the goal is to "dry up the supply of these weapons over time."

WASHINGTON — California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein staged a dramatic press conference Thursday on Capitol Hill with 10 weapons at her side and unveiled legislation instituting a government ban on more than 150 types of firearms, including rifles, pistols and shotguns.

Well, ain't that just wonderful?!? Don't worry Libs said, they're just EO's Libs said. No ones gun is going to be taken Libs said....Bull! These liberal pieces of trash in DC think they should be able to take your rights at will....Shotguns? I say to them, go to hell.

What do the EO's have to do with one senators proposals that will never pass Congress?

The drumbeats are getting louder.

If public opinion polls show that the public would support a ban on certain types of firearms you can bet your life that people like Dianne Feinstein will stop at nothing to grab the guns they think they can get PLUS go for a few more and in the process paint everyone that dares stand in their way as crazy rightwing extremists.

Grab the guns and drive a stake into the opposition in the process. That's the plan.

When the EO's came out of Obama's ass (Joe Biden), they put them forth, and many liberals claimed that they are just EO's and no one is going to try and take your guns...I give you Frau Feinstien....

Proposals that would never pass Congress? They are about to attempt to use public opinion... manipulated public opinion to be more correct... to get it through congress. Did you not listen to Obama's inaugural address? This is no longer a tease. They're going to go for it.

I agree that liberals are trying to stir up the ****, and make the drums sing....But, it is a disingenuous, trumped up pack of lies....That they will use any situation to grab rights should be their own demise in political office in this country....Sadily the sheeple will just all bahhhh their way to tyranny.

I sure hope a gun grab isn't even a wet dream for them; things will get bloody.

Well, just going by Obama's playbook, picked up recently by progressives, is what ever damage they cause will be blamed on those in opposition to him.
 
That's funny, "Enough is enough!" is precisely what I've been saying about Feinstein herself for years now.

When the blood is running in the streets, it won't matter who gets blamed.
 
20 children were slaughtered by a maniac and yet we cannot even talk about the slight chance that maybe we as a country have a over abundance of firearms?

You got that right....It really is sad the course that very stupid people put this great country on by voting the way they did this past November.

Damn right we can't, because that isn't the root of the problem.

If you look at international violent crime rates, especially homicides per capita, the US is actually middle of the road. Many nations with far FAR lower rates of firearm ownership have FAR higher rates of murder.

Violent crime is primarily a factor of:

1. Corrupt or inefficient law enforcement.
2. Povery and/or wealth inequity.
3. Gangs/tribes/factions
4. Drug trade.

In the case of mass shootings by lunatics, our primary problem is an inadequate mental heathcare system with too few institutions for the dangerously insane and too few mechanisms to detect them before they kill. Incidentally the worst school mass-murder in US history was committed with a bomb... 1927 if I recall correctly.
 
1. The executive orders have noting to do with a gun ban. Liberals said that because conservative tried to claim other wise and that he was issuing unconstitutional executive orders. It's not liberals fault that people like J-Mack can't comprehend that.

2. No one has issued any legislation that involves gun grabs. The legislation involves banning sales of these items, but it does not involve anyone going out and grabbing guns that are already owned by citizens. So you can all let go of that big wet dream of fighting the evil tyrannical government that you've been waiting for the last 4 years.

3. The source is the daily caller. I can't find a credible well known source saying that the ban includes shotguns and handguns, and I find that hard to believe. I don't find it hard to believe that some would buy it so quickly, hook line and sinker.
 
"An ABC News-Washington Post poll released last week found that 65 percent of those polled supported banning high capacity ammunition magazines while 58 percent favored banning the sale of so-called assault weapons."

You sound frightened, scared. A common state of gun advocates, explaining much of their irrational love of guns.

It's basically renewing the previous "assault weapons" ban and no legally-owned guns are going to be seized...

And nobody said only executive orders would be made. Nobody said Congress would do nothing.

Seems to me that is plenty to fight against.

Constitutional rights being violated is a serious matter. :shrug:
