Dianne Feinstein
87-year-old Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein (CA) and Congressman David Cicilline (D-RI) on Thursday introduced a bill to ban “assault weapons” and high-capacity magazines just hours after the Democrat-controlled House passed a gun control bill.
The Democrats introduced the Assault Weapons Ban, an updated bill to ban the sale, transfer, manufacture and importation of military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, like were used in the massacre in Dayton, Ohio where the shooter had a hundred-round magazine attached to an assault rifle. – Feinstein said in her announcement on Thursday.
“It’s been 17 years since the original Assault Weapons Ban expired, and the plague of gun violence continues to grow in this country,” said Senator Feinstein.
