The 1994 AWB only passed by 1 vote, in today's world we have a lot of ways of communicating with our congressmen, senators, and each other. Back in 1994 the internet wasn't as big, we all can stick together a lot better now a days.

Feinstein has been yammering away about "spray-firing from the hip" for years. Certainly she's been yammering about it for much longer than you could actually find videos of it on YouTube.

Bump-firing is a technique that is completely useless for anything other than turning money into noise.

Furthermore, there's not a single solitary instance that I'm aware of where anyone has bump-fired a rifle during the commission of a crime.

Just because a handful of yokels like to blaze away at a close-range berm once in awhile is not a valid reason to infringe on everyone else's civil rights.

Never said it was a reason to infringe the 2A at all. Just sayin, they will use bump fire against us.
 
She's from California. Her last AWB was her test lab, and she's going for broke this time. The scary part is she learned from the last bill what works and what doesn't. Like a fricking velociraptor! She is ensuring she doesn't make the same mistakes as last time: no sunset, no bullet buttons, etc. Scary stuff....

Well, if they do manage to pass a bunch of ridiculous laws and make half the country instant criminals, at least everyone can wake up the next morning and smile about one thing...$200 NFA taxes won't apply anymore, cuz everybody knows that criminal don't follow the rules. It's a money saver really. :D

Couldn't resist.
 
time to up the ante: communicate to the elected and donate to gun rights' groups. Diane Feinstein is the icon of hypocrisy and the dangerous naiveté.

hail to our Republic, for our liberties, from Berkeley, CA.
 
What exactly "worked" from the last one? It didn't make any noticeable difference on crime.

Nothing worked.

Maybe I chose the wrong word. I think she realized where she screwed up. She's been waiting for this moment to spring a proper bill on us.
 
funny, I posted a link to her proposed ban and the thread was closed with a moderator stating something about how we already know about her whacko ideals.

Either way, she's just begging for civil unrest and I hate to say it, but IF any of her whack-nut proposals are passed, I HOPE there is wide-spread civil disobedience and I HOPE things gets really nasty for these civil rights infringing crooks.

I think we( no or very modest criminal histories that don't forbid owning) should start openly carrying everywhere. Show hostility to anyone trying to take it away? Bit much?

I'm tired of being told that I don't need to be armed. And it's always arrogant, self-righteous, ignorant-to-facts butt-heads saying it.:scrutiny:
 
I continue to think that the Feinstein bill is merely a negotiating ploy. We need to treat this event like when you are watching a magic show. The magician wants you to watch his flamboyant right hand while his left hand is doing the real work. It's a distraction and a "way out there" place to negotiate from. So that they can appear to be giving in to "reasonable compromise" somewhere down the road.

Granted, it never appears that Feinstein is very smart... but even she would be able to realize her bill would have some chance to pass if she removed some portions. All that no transfer, no sales stuff is death. And I can't believe it would hold up in the Courts in the long run. Making everybody register their guns and magazines with the Feds. Including handguns and shotguns. It's all designed to make us dread the worst case scenario. Get us running around and yelling.

First they will try to make the bill more reasonable. Cut out a bit here and there. That won't work either. So then they will drop down to basically the 94 AWB again. The serious gun control people will put real effort into that one. But that will probably fail as well. Then they will actually pass something like the background check. And then the final reasonable compromise will be to try to ban full capacity magazines.

"How can you stand in the way of this reasonable bill? The people are demanding it and we have moved away from those other bills that you opposed to rigorously. If you compromise with us on this, everything in the future will be a wonderful place where the animals talk and sing to each other!"

We definitely need to explain to people why we stand against the Feinstein bill. But don't let it distract you from the far more likely to be passed bills.

Any civil disobedience should be of an unarmed variety. Forming human shields around houses where previously legal weapons are being confiscated, for example. That's why the Civil Rights movement of the '60s was so effective, it made the government look like storm troopers and those practicing civil disobedience look like saints.
 
Fienstein

Come on Fienstein, you admitted to packing in "95". Now you got the hypocrite fever, if truth was know, you probably still are. Why don't you people tell what REALLY happen in Conn. Tell us all bout the AR in the trunk of the car.... I use a Rem 870 Express for Turkey Hunting, what's next a slingshot????
 
"The 1994 AWB only passed by 1 vote..."--Boostedtwo

I saw video (from CSPAN) of the vote, and it would make your blood boil. The Speaker, Jim Wright, D-TX held the gavel after time expired, while several Democratic representatives bullied one rep into changing his vote. It also showed Newt Gengrich and other Republican reps shouting at Wright to follow the rules and gavel the vote over.:banghead:
Made MY blood boil...:fire:
 
I wonder if there is a Recall Process for Senators as ALL of them have failed in their Constitutionally mandated task of submitting a budget for over 1,000 days and counting.
 
Is there any way we can go after Feinstein's job and get her removed from office?
Click to expand...

The real answer is "no" unless there's a way to bring her up on charges of violating her "Oath of Office" or have her pattern of actions show intent to undermine the Constitution. But, that won't happen.

She embodies the mentality of the Bay Area and Los Angeles county. Thinking in those two areas run counter to most of the rest of California and to rest of the country. But, their numbers overwhelm that state. So, California will always send a senator like her to the Hill.

After she's gone, a Feinstein clone will be found to replace her.

My God, I can't wait to leave this state.

I just hope nobody decides to end her senate term with an "assault rifle of mass destruction." If they must, use a bow and arrow.

You may not have read the rest of my post. The population of California is distributed in a way where the Bay Area and LA county dictate who represents the state. There is no "voting her out". The numbers needed to do that are not there.

Plus, those inclined to vote against her type are leaving. Those liking the Left's agenda are coming into those two areas of the state. I'm not expecting a shift in the state's majority stand.

Sorry, Jerry Rubin looked like a saint? I don't hold the view of the 1960's demonstrations in the same manner, and yes, I was alive and cognizant during the 1960's. Saints? Sorry, not my understanding of the period of time at all my friend.

As anyone ever thought to check if that bitter old witch (Feinstein) is mentally 100% capable of properly doing her job? She is in her 70s and a lot of senior citizens are no longer able to do certain things. Perhaps, she needs to be put into an Obamacare nursing home?

full approval of MPD and US Capitol Police

Neither MPD nor the Capitol Police have the authority to overrule the DC Official Code. Of course, nothing will come of it.

However, it might be nice if the Senate Select Committee on Ethics took a hard look at the transport and display of firearms, at the behest of Sen. Feinstein's office, in possible violation of DC Code. Not that would happen either, especially since that Committee is chaired by Barbara "Dumb-as-a-Box-of-Rocks" Boxer.
 
The more I think about all this stuff the more annoyed it makes me. The utter morons are beckoning a real monster. Prohibition does NOT work. It only makes people want rhings even more than before when they were legal. Can you say.....black market firearms? Not a problem that needs to be started up in the US, especially in these uncertain times.
