ants Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I just heard a news report that Sen. Dianne Feinstein's assault weapons ban will not be included in the Democratic gun control bill. It can be offered as an amendment, to the bill, later, but it doesn't have a real good chance of going anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Yep. Looks like the worst part of the bill that may go through is background checks on all private sales. The rest seems to be tougher penalties for gun crimes. Does anyone have the exact details on the bill thats being proposed now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ants Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 I can't find anything yet, probably too early. The only stuff i can find is mostly Feinstein whining about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo711 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I got an email today at 3:52 from Sen. Rand paul saying that the big things are universal background checks and mental health issues. Want complete background checks on all firearm sales so they can track exactly who has what kind of guns and how many. He also says 46.6% of Americans are diagnosed with some sort of mental issue. If that happens fed gov't wants it so you get firearms taken away for life. I don't know how I get these emails, they always go to my spam but I get a few from him every day. Probably from some poll or gun repeal form I filled out. I haven't seen anything concrete of what happened today but wanted to pass this along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ants Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 One of the biggest things was her (Feinkenstein) banning guns, specifically, by name. At least that is deep sixed, for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Ive also read that the oncoming gun legislation doesnt have much of a chance anyway, but we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
