Senator Feinstein has published her assault weapons bill her website.

http://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/assault-weapons.

This is similar to most of past legislation with a new twist.

The grandfather clause will require all guns with the capability of holding more than 10 rounds must be registered under the NFA.
Requires that grandfathered weapons be registered under the National Firearms Act, to include:
Background check of owner and any transferee;
Type and serial number of the firearm;
Positive identification, including photograph and fingerprint;
Certification from local law enforcement of identity and that possession would not violate State or local law; and
Dedicated funding for ATF to implement registration.

I have already written my Senator expressing my opposition.

I included a practical defense of 30 round mag for my AR-15 clone.

Specifically, I discussed driving off a pack of wild dogs which were attacking a cow and calf. The dog consisted of 25 dogs who had been dumped by their owners and were killing live stock to survive. I expended a full mag, killed a number and finally drove the dogs off.

When addressing this issue we need to speak factually and not emotionally. I think quotes from the recent Illinois decision would be appropriate.

Lets go on the offense with a rational argument and not an emotional one.
 
LTC, I read this news today with equal trepidation, and like you, the registration part most significantly jumped out at me. I'm sure a whole lot of us are considering whether we would keep items that would require registration under the NFA, or sell them off before the law's effective date in order to avoid such scrutiny.

Of course, our community here is as diverse as just about any other, but my particular segment holds the position that while I have nothing to hide that a background check would uncover (or at least I hope I don't, otherwise my security clearance would be in jeopardy and threaten my livelihood!).... I for one would have to consider whether I wanted the federal government that deep into my business.

I too will be writing to my senators, although it will be mostly for show, as both of them are strong 2A supporters and would vote against such measures anyway.
 
To assist the continuity of the topic... we are running one thread on this and it happens to be the one Webleymkv links to so this'n is bein' closed...
