Image: Sen. Dianne Feinstein's official list of guns she wants to ban

[Hoplyte]

Did I miss seeing the Springfield Armory M1-A on this current incarnation of Dr. Feinstein's monster? Not that I believe it will stay off the list for long.

We should ban idiots from holding elected positions.

We should stop dismissing those who through their own hook and crook have risen to the highest positions of political power in this country, and their underlings who actually hold the offices.

I love the TNW M2HB, let's see, weight without tripod is roughly 84 pounds, another 44 with the tripod for a grand total of 138 pounds, yea, that's a REAL assault weapon right there!

On a serious note, can anyone recall when a semi automatic version of the Ma Deuce was ever used in a nefarious way? Beuller? Beuller? Beuller?

I thought not.
I can see that quite a bit of analysis and thought went into this listing of proscribed firearms.

So whats next....all the guns are gone? Should I start carrying my bow and arrows for protection then. I'm gonna need a bigger jacket.

The purpose is to dry up the supply of these weapons over time ~ Dianne Feinstein 1/24/13

My first thought was who cares? I have none of those. Then I read your post.
What's the point of it all if they aren't used in crimes with any significant frequency?
Of course if frequency of use in crimes were a viable criteria, the j frame would be done in.

I didn't say it should be a criteria. It appears, to me, to be a perfect example of how fear and emotion are being used in place of logic to propel a proposal that aims to disarm US citizens of the firearms that would be of most use to them had they the need to defend their liberty.

Also, this would be something you didn't care about simply because you don't own any of those firearms? Did I draw the correct conclusion from that?

Are they trying to ban the Glock 17?

All semiautomatic pistols that can accept a detachable magazine and have at least one military feature: threaded barrel; second pistol grip; barrel shroud; capacity to accept a detachable magazine at some location outside of the pistol grip; or semiautomatic version of an automatic firearm.

I believe the Glock 18 is a fully automatic version of the Glock 17.

Hmmmm, how often are those weapons used in a crime?

Does anyone know when a belt fed weapon was used in a crime?

Hate to show my ignorance, but I am not aware of any belt fed weapons that are not machine guns. Seems to me a belt fed weapon would be a little hard to carry around. ????

There are belt-feed conversions for semi-auto rifles out there. I've seen AR15 and HK91, but I'm sure there are others.

Thanks. Sounds like a good way to waste ammo.

Sent out a whole new batch of emails and mailed letters today. Can't let 'em think I wasn't paying attention today!

Did y'all read what she has listed as "AR type" rifles? The CX-4 Storm, the FAL, the PS90, all the HK 90 series, the AUG, and the friggin' Hi-Point carbine, to name a few. Did someone say that the author of this list of brand names knew what they were talking about?
