[Nilloc]

We need to insist the the secret service be forced to disarm too.

Tasers should be enough.

Even if it did, it'd get thrown out as unconstitutional faster than you would believe. Ex Post Facto and all...

It wouldn't be unconstitutional to require the registration of firearms after the purchase.

Ex post facto, or after the fact applies to criminal liability for actions taken before the law was passed.

Like all of these petitions nothing will come from it.

Still signed.

I think its akin to a placebo. Make people think they're doing something, when in actuality, its being completely ignored...

Yeah, that said it did give me a evil bit of pleasure when I signed the, "Deport people who signed petitions to secede from the union" petition too.

Something about a few hundred thousand butthurt people waking up one day to find out they've been given their wish but not quite how they envisioned it made me smile.

What are the "120" specific gun models she's referring to?

Here's her Senate page for this bill.
Assault Weapons - Issues - United States Senator Dianne Feinstein
I guess she doesn't have her "hit list" complete yet, so you can take the update link at a later time and see if she's posted the full text of the bill.

 

[USincognito]

There is the problem, the list is not made public. That makes it extremely suspicious. I seriously doubt this will make it up to the President to sign, ever.

The list, assuming it's in the legislation, will be made public when she files the bill with the Clerk and the bill follows the usual long road before being signed.

This looks like an attempt to gauge the temperature of the American gun and anti-gun public.
It's extreme. I too hope it fails.

 

[USincognito]

I almost wonder (a bit conspiritorial I know) but since they can't let a good crisis go to waste, is it possible that this is the first step to disarming the American people? All dictatorships start that way....hmmm it does bring one to thought...

Disarm? No. There's too much case law interpreting the 2nd Amendment in favor of private ownership, that you'd need a SCOTUS with 9 Diane Fiensteins in order to make that happen.

So it ain't gonna.

Actually it would not only be Ex post facto, it would likely also be in violation of the 4th Amendment if I remember correctly.

It doesn't take an Einstein to figure out that the government is trying to get a list of people whom has these firearms in order to illegally seize them.

Paranoid much?

Visualizing a world with 9 Diane Fiensteins in it.


And just before bed too. Thanks for that. No, really!

Do you live within a few hours of Chicago? I do, and since Chicago got a 2nd term in Washington, I actually think I'm more than justified to not trust the Federal Government.

Benghazi-gate
Fast & Furious -- Which I think the actual purpose of this was to give guns to Drug Cartels and create an upsurge in gun violence.
Bullying the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court into upholding a bad piece of legislation that clearly violates the Constitution...

Would you like a longer list?

Wow, that seems to be delusional since I don't recall the city of Chicago being on the ballot...

 

[Panzerkamfwagen]

According to the Calguns Wiki, the registration requirement in California had about a 10% compliance rate.

Ah, but with the prospect of up to I believe 4, justices retiring in the next few years, it stands to reason that our current president may get something very close to that!

 

[Metal Minister]

I posted this on another thread and so far its been completely ignored. I wonder why....

I know I said I'd walked away from this thread, but this just goes to my point on gun laws being ignored.

NBC broke gun laws, to discuss a story about making more gun laws. The irony is so think you could cut it with a spoon!

Yup, it is a probing attack not meant to succeed so much as to gather information about where the tipping point would be & whose careers or lives must be ended to further "the cause". Betcha a few months after this bill fails, a few key people have scandals or fatal car crashes. The left will stop at nothing to make sure only the more equal animals have civil rights.

Chicago is a euphemism for Obama, since Obama is and always has been just a puppet for the Daley machine .. . from his early days extorting well paid preachers and calling it "community organizing" to the present.
