DiFi has introduced a bill that would re-establish the ban on guns that look like assault weapons:

Sen. Dianne Feinstein introduced legislation Monday to re-establish the federal assault weapons ban, which expired last September after Congress did not reauthorize it.

Feinstein, D-Calif., was the author of the original 1994 ban on the manufacture and importation of at least 19 types of common military-style assault weapons [Outright lie, these weapons are not military style, which would denote that they are machine guns – Ed.]. She got an amendment through the Senate last year to extend the ban, but it was killed when the piece of legislation it was attached to failed after lobbying by the National Rifle Association.

Feinstein announced bipartisan co-sponsors Monday: Republican Sens. John Warner of Virginia and Mike DeWine of Ohio, and Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer of New York. But getting the bill through the Republican-controlled Congress will be an uphill battle.

Good ol’ Rinos. More:

“We know the ban worked. We voted for its renewal in the Senate last year. Yet, it was allowed to expire,” Feinstein said in a statement. “This failure will have deadly consequences on the streets of America. It is time to re-establish the ban and help make our communities safer.”

It worked? At what? Restricting the right of people to own guns? It had no effect on crime, as attested to by the Centers for Disease Control and the Justice Department. And these deadly consequences would have likely come to fruition by now but have not.

It’s never to early to get on the horn and start calling your senators and reps to tell them to oppose this nonsense.
