Reduces, from two to one, the number of permitted external features
on various firearms. The 1994 ban permitted various firearms to be
manufactured only if they were assembled with no more than one feature
listed in the law. Feinstein’s new bill would prohibit the manufacture
of the same firearms with even one of the features.
Adopts new lists of prohibited external features. For example,
whereas the 1994 ban applied to a rifle or shotgun the “pistol grip” of
which “protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon,” the
new bill would drastically expand the definition to include any “grip . .
. or any other characteristic that can function as a grip.” Also, the
new bill adds “forward grip” to the list of prohibiting features for
rifles, defining it as “a grip located forward of the trigger that
functions as a pistol grip.” Read literally and in conjunction with the
reduction from two features to one, the new language would apply to
every detachable-magazine semi-automatic rifle. At a minimum, it would,
for example, ban all models of the AR-15, even those developed for
compliance with California’s highly restrictive ban.
Carries hyperbole further than the 1994 ban. Feinstein’s 1994 ban
listed “grenade launcher” as one of the prohibiting features for rifles.
Her 2013 bill goes even further into the ridiculous, by also listing
“rocket launcher.” Such devices are restricted under the National
Firearms Act and, obviously, are not standard components of the firearms
Feinstein wants to ban. Perhaps a subsequent Feinstein bill will add
“nuclear bomb,” “particle beam weapon,” or something else equally
far-fetched to the features list.

Expands the definition of “assault weapon” by including:–Three very
popular rifles: The M1 Carbine (introduced in 1941 and for many years
sold by the federal government to individuals involved in marksmanship
competition), a model of the Ruger Mini-14, and most or all models of
the SKS.–Any “semiautomatic, centerfire, or rimfire rifle that has a
fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds,” except
for tubular-magazine .22s.–Any “semiautomatic, centerfire, or rimfire
rifle that has an overall length of less than 30 inches,” any
“semiautomatic handgun with a fixed magazine that has the capacity to
accept more than 10 rounds,” and any semi-automatic handgun that has a
threaded barrel.
Requires owners of existing “assault weapons” to register them with
the federal government under the National Firearms Act (NFA). The NFA
imposes a $200 transfer tax per firearm, and requires an owner to submit
photographs and fingerprints to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives (BATFE), to inform the BATFE of the address
where the firearm will be kept, and to obtain the BATFE’s permission to
transport the firearm across state lines.
Prohibits the transfer of “assault weapons.” Owners of other
firearms, including those covered by the NFA, are permitted to sell them
or pass them to heirs. However, under Feinstein’s new bill, “assault
weapons” would remain with their current owners until their deaths, at
which point they would be forfeited to the government.
Prohibits the domestic manufacture and the importation of magazines
that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. The 1994 ban allowed the
importation of such magazines that were manufactured before the ban took
effect. Whereas the 1994 ban protected gun owners from errant
prosecution by making the government prove when a magazine was made, the
new ban includes no such protection. The new ban also requires firearm
dealers to certify the date of manufacture of any >10-round magazine
sold, a virtually impossible task, given that virtually no magazines
are stamped with their date of manufacture.
Targets handguns in defiance of the Supreme Court. The Court ruled in District of Columbia v. Heller that
the Second Amendment protects the right to have handguns for
self-defense, in large part on the basis of the fact handguns are the
type of firearm “overwhelmingly chosen by American society for that
lawful purpose.” Semi-automatic pistols, which are the most popular
handguns today, are designed to use detachable magazines, and the
magazines “overwhelmingly chosen” by Americans for self-defense are
those that hold more than 10 rounds. Additionally, Feinstein’s list of
nearly 1,000 firearms exempted by name (see next paragraph) contains not
a single handgun. Sen. Feinstein advocated banning handguns before
being elected to the Senate, though she carried a handgun for her own
personal protection.
