Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said Sunday she would introduce a
bill re-instating the federal ban on assault weapons on the first day of
the new Congress in January.
Feinstein, a leading gun control
advocate in Congress, said the measure had been in the works for a year
and would be unveiled simultaneously in both the House and Senate.
The assault weapons ban enacted in 1994 lapsed a decade later. But
calls to renew it have grown louder following the Friday shooting of 27
people, including 20 children, at Sandy Hook Elementary School in
Newtown, Conn., as well as in response to other mass shootings in recent
years.President Obama “is going to have a bill to lead on,”
Feinstein said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” The measure, she said, would
aim to take “weapons of war off the streets of our cities.” “It can be
done,” she added.
“It will ban the sale, the transfer, the
importation and the possession, not retroactively, prospectively. And it
will ban the same for big clips, drums or strips of more than 10
bullets,” Feinstein said of her proposal.
Feinstein, first elected in 1992, was a leading sponsor of the
original ban, and she said she and other lawmakers had sought to perfect
it in this most recent iteration.
A MUST WATCH VIDEO: she is a wack job, the case at hand is a MENTAL Illness Case!
