Here We Go Again

Dementia victim Dianne Feinstein has filed her annual “assault weapon” ban; the Assault Weapons Ban of 2023.

It’s the usual mess, defining “assault weapons” as semi-autos that use detachable magazines and have one of the same ol’ same ol other characteristics: pistol grip, adjustable or detachable stock, grenade launcher, barrel shroud, threaded barrel.

Presumably grenade launchers on pump action shotguns are still cool.

It also includes:

A semiautomatic rifle that has a fixed ammunition feeding device with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds, except for an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition.

Weirdly, despite that “semiautomatic, detachable magazine” definition, the idiot saw fit to include page after page of exempted weapons: lever actions, side by side and over and under shotguns, bolt actions, and assorted semi-autos with fixed magazines.

She’s never been noted for her cognitive acuity, even before her brain turned to jello.

As usual, Feinstein’s “ban” doesn’t actually ban any firearm. All those millions of existing AR- and AK-pattern firearms are grandfathered. Apparently at least one of the senile senator’s keepers still recalls this warning.

“The sheer immorality of victim disarmament aside, one would hope every law enforcement officer out there would stop to consider all the possible ramifications of kicking in several million doors because the occupants are well armed.”

  1. I continue to be both amazed and angered that people continue to elect these mentally deficient, morally bankrupt people. From The very top, with FJB, to these old worn out jokes like FiSty and Maxine Waters. Even the Democrats who seem to be somewhat mentally aware, like Chuckles Shumer, Lizzy Warren, and Hillary Clinton pound the drum of gun control, yet stay relevant to the conversation of America’s 2nd amendment, even though they are on the side of cancelling it.
    I actually don’t know if I should be angry at the politicians or the ones who keep voting for them and listening to them.
    I guess that the only option is to be pissed at both.

  2. Ignore them and NULLIFY all of their unconstitutional/intolerable acts.

    Go ahead, keep passing ex post facto regulations disguised as law. Once you made me a paper felon in 1994 and then again in Kommiecticut in 2013 by nothing more than the stroke of a pen, I went retro to 1968.

    Wait until I go full ignore 1934 and start building rat-tat-tats and boomy things.
