Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) and a long list of her Democratic colleagues introduced the Assault Weapons Ban of 2017 on Wednesday.
The bill would ban "the sale, transfer, manufacture, and importation of military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines," according to a press release from Feinstein's office.
"We're introducing an updated Assault Weapons Ban for one reason: so that after every mass shooting with a military-style assault weapon, the American people will know that a tool to reduce these massacres is sitting in the Senate, ready for debate and a vote," Feinstein said in a statement.
Feinstein, ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, conceded that "this bill won't stop every mass shooting," but said "it will begin removing these weapons of war from our streets."
The bill states that "owners may keep existing weapons and magazines" but bans the sale of "205 military-style assault weapons by name," the press release noted.
Senate Dems, Led by Feinstein, Introduce Assault Weapons Ban
Time for the movie folks.
More phony boloney by the Democrat showmen. Uh, Senator, didn't we have an assault weapons ban in the past that produced no results? Where in the US Constitution does it say all bills originate in the Senate?
Trying to get an assault weapons ban in place with a Republican Congress and Senate is like the Republicans trying to increase abortion regulations with a Dem House and Senate. Clearly this is nothing more than a dog and pony show pandering to their constituents and getting nothing done at the same time.
