Democrats had some election victories in Virginia, New Jersey and elsewhere yesterday, so perhaps that’s emboldened them on the national level, as evidenced by a bill introduced by Senate Dem:
JUST IN: Sen. Feinstein and Senate Democrats introduce bill to ban assault weapons pic.twitter.com/d94tkH6ASo

“This bill won’t stop every mass shooting, but it will begin removing these weapons of war from our streets," Sen. Feinstein says https://t.co/hrmPGTeNnh

But remember…
"Nobody's trying to ban any guns, that's just a paranoid lie. Oh, and we're proposing legislation to ban over 200 different guns." https://t.co/248JG9wWMD

*Eye roll*
A ban on anything with a detachable magazine and threaded barrel?
Isn't that everything except revolvers & shotguns? https://t.co/HxbTJFl9zf— PoltergeistMath (@politicalmath) November 8, 2017
Based on the mag ban and storage provisions, this bill is poisoned from the outset, and is merely a way to raise funds from silly people. https://t.co/cFGubUo0um

So basically they have no intention of actually trying to pass this monstrosity it’s just theater the Dems can trot out. https://t.co/oF8VmYsFuk

Every one of my magazines would be considered illegal. Every one. https://t.co/C51YoagKUy

Not sure if Feinstein has noticed lately, but vehicles are also "assault weapons." https://t.co/6w4LlT7wZi

The Dems are again trying to take the Law of Unintended Consequences to new heights:
Gun manufacturers thank you for putting up something like this that will never pass. Did you want to spur more AR sales? Because you just did. https://t.co/AGsVJEqr1h
— Storm Paglia (@storm_paglia) November 8, 2017
That will unquestionably backfire on Dems.
Gun sales have been way down in 2017 b/c Hillary lost. Awfully kind of Feinstein to give people a reason to buy in bulk again! https://t.co/MVx4weOpEX

Welp, guess I should get around to buying my first AR soon. Forbidden fruit and all. https://t.co/ThzY5p1bzS

Would be interesting to learn if sponsoring legislators do have stock in gun manufacturing companies.

How come Democrats didn't do this in 2009 and 2010 when they had 60 in the Senate? Ans: to many of their constituents disagree. https://t.co/pg3QDZXNCj

We’re looking at you, Harry Reid!
