The widely anticipated Senate bill soon to be introduced by gun-banner extraordinaire Dianne Feinstein will do far more than eliminate “assault weapons” (AW’s) and “high capacity” magazines.
According to a summary on the senator’s website, concealed carry license holder Feinstein–who proposed an outright ban on all handguns while packing her own for self-defense—will demand that owners of guns affected by her legislation: pay a $200 fee for each banned weapon owned; submit pictures, fingerprints and register AW’s with the ATF; have local law enforcement attest to the owner’s identity and specify the address at which each weapon will be kept.
But the NRA reports that the senator intends to go much further than bans or registration. For assessment of an acquired draft of Feinstein’s bill reveals a provision demanding that guns defined as assault weapons be immediately turned over to the federal government upon the current owner’s death.
Under existing Federal Firearm Legislation, owners of AW’s are permitted to sell their weapons outright, modify them or pass them along to heirs. But not anymore. For should Feinstein’s bill become law, AW’s will be grandfathered into the possession of their current owners and “…[will] remain with [that] …owner until [his] death, at which point they [will] be forfeited to the government.”
In short, our political ruling class would literally appropriate millions of “assault weapons,” rent the freshly acquired firearms back to their original owners and then seize them after those flagrantly cheated individuals have died.
It is a very clever scheme of mortality-based confiscation!
Registration of the appropriated weapons will be conducted according to the National Firearms Act of 1934, the law which, among other things, regulates ownership of machine guns and silencers. Fortunately the $200 per weapon fee has historically been charged only on the transfer of a weapon rather than on a yearly basis. But of course those banned, “high capacity” magazines must also be taken into account—and taxed.
Feinstein’s bill has yet to be completed, though she has vowed to read it on the Senate floor by January 3rd. Given the massive, nationwide dissent and bitter animosity which would surely result should the contents of the bill be published in an open and honest form, it’s possible that, like ObamaCare, Congress will have to pass the legislation before the American public finds out what’s in it.
One thing is certain–gun owners will undoubtedly acquire many new responsibilities while preserving very few rights.
For example, Feinstein and Co. might demand holders of “assault weapons” purchase some form of renter’s insurance in order to protect themselves from legal responsibility should a gun be stolen and used in a crime. Naturally, the legal responsibility would be levied either by Congress itself or one of its partners in crime—the ATF comes to mind. After all, it would be a swell way to pick up a few bucks while encouraging a “pre-demise” weapon turn-in by owners who wish to avoid legal exposure or the expense of congressionally-mandated insurance coverage. Imagine the required purchase of an “ATF-approved” policy at $500 per year per weapon. A protection racket to make even Capone blush!
Will the Feinstein bill succeed? Almost certainly not. But consider how much closer it will likely come to passage now than a year ago. And what will happen after the next brutal murder spree deliberately facilitated by the left and its “gun-free zone” legislation? And the next and the next?
Feinstein’s legislation reveals what the left is determined to achieve, sooner or later and by any means necessary. Those who wish to remain free must be prepared to do anything necessary to defeat them.

In my 62 years I have learned to understand the NWO of socialistic law passage. They introduce outrageous bills to inflame the public. Then size it or write a new bill that is still not constitutional but seemingly more benign and palatable especially to the Dimocraps and that is rammed down the throats of America. This process continues until the whole of the original bill is passed in pieces. It is uncomfortable or down right horrifying to learn and understand government today. The head in the sand theory of many is more comfortable. Ignorance leaves no place for emotions or passion…but it does leave valuable and tender ass-ets vulnerable and exposed.
“….concealed carry license holder Feinstein….”
cONCEALED CARRY?……..yOU DONT SUPPOSE THIS mARXIST (w)ITCH IS WORRIED SHE MIGHT GET SHOT FOR HER aNTI-aMERIKAN, aNTI-HUMAN, tREASONOUS, BEHAVIOURS DO YOU?????
i AM SUGGESTING SHE IS A “CARRIER” OF ALLOT MORE THAN JUST METAL.
the senator owns and carries her personal piece
Senator Frankenstein’s gun control/confiscation is being done to disarm the honest, law-abiding citizens of America and give the weapons to the criminals in our government and on our streets. That’s their real mortive. Their motives to ban guns are not sincere. They don’t give a darn about our children’s lives or our lives. After all, they slaughter millions upon millions of unborn Americans, America’s future, in their child-killing(abortion) mills every year. Do you think they respect innocent human life outside the womb?
I love the smell of gun oil in the morning.
Do you think Bill Ayers will turn in his assault weapons and stash of dynamite?
So as lone as the Government makes its $200.00 to $500.00 its OK to have an ( A.W.) that is what they are saying right ? They can KISS MY ASS come and git my guns and i will Blow a Hole as big as my Fist in your face…
Janet Reno caused David Koresh to turn in his second amendment approved weapons by deadly force.
You are next after Commie Feinstein gets her way.
Are you angry? Angry enough to do something about it? We are organizing for Rally’s to stop this madness-come join us! Your voice is desperately needed!!

Just WHO is keeping this woman in office? Surely her constituents can see the long term damage she has and is doing?
they want my guns when I die? Hell,I’ll give them my bullets right now!
Well, we’ll all see soon just what happens, eh ???? Yeah, place all these absurd “sur-charges” on our weapons and soon gun ownership will be another rich mans commodity…. WITH, of course, the exception going to the criminal once again……. On the other hand, when an area is going to be canvassed for weapons… lol…. would they enumerate and locate the owners with the callout…. “armed and dangerous”……… good luck to THEM !!! When they come to town, they ought to have Feinstein on their bumper….. just for fun ……
Wonder if they will invite the New Black Panthers to turn in all their weapons? This will be directed at white males and NRA members. Gang bangers and black people, not so much, (unless they are conservatives).
Prepare for war folks…against this illegal regime and against the stinkin’ muzzies…
“A well regulated (means outfitted in modern language) Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State”…= the reason for the law…”the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”…= the law. Any State or Federal restriction added in later years is unconstitutional. What part of “Shall not be infringed do they not understand????!!!! Under the reason for the law it states “being necessary to the security of a free State”; this says it is not only for self defense, or hunting but specifically for the defense of the “free State”. This would mean foreign or “domestic” enemies who would remove our freedoms from the us.
We don’t have to wait to see what happens. If everyone would mail a letter to the Senator, and tell her in no uncertain terms that we will not accept, nor will we support, any further infringement of our right to keep and bear arms. There is no list included in the second amendment and there will be no list created by Congress. We need to point out that this very act of creating a “ban” of named firearms is a direct violation of her oath of office. She has taken the oath many times to protect and defend the Constitution, if you come out to limit or out right ban (and confiscate) then you are not supporting or defending the Second Amendment as you swore that you would. It would be nice if Senator Feinstein started to take her “job” (throne?) more seriously and start trusting the citizens that she claims to represent. People, it’s now or never.
Serious Firearm owners such as collectors, competitive shooters, Hunters and Sportsman, and Private Investigators/Body Guards that have many thousands of dollars invested and have 5 or more firearms that will be banned will fight such plans to disarm themselves- lawful owners of their weapons. Such a ban directly violates our rights as defined in the Constitution, and we will not submit willingly, as the Jews did to their Nazi Executioners. This scheme to ban certain classes of weapons based on certain features that some moron decided adds to the lethality of the weapon is a the tip of the grand plan of total disarmament. History has taught the dead and enslaved, and the living that to give up ones rights to a master authority is suicide. Obama and his Marxists will never succeed at his master plan to strip Second Amendment rights from lawful citizens. Ruby Ridge and the Branch Davidians were two events where a former regime under Clinton murdered dozens of innocent people on the suspicion some had illegal firearms. Firefights broke out when Government agents attempted to search the homesteads of the suspects. Overwhelming fire by the Government Agents ultimately resulted in many dead. If half the US citizens that owned future banned weapons refused to submit to confiscation raids on their homesteads, there could be at least 25 million firefights between the Obama Gestapo and Mr & Mrs America defending themselves. I am sure a Revolution against the Obama regime would begin, as Americans fought an oppressive tyrant-Barak Hussein Obama.
