Post-Sandy Hook, the great debate over guns has sunken to new levels of deceit and misrepresentation, all in the name of unconstitutional gun-grabbing. Consider legislation being proposed by Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
The California Democrat seeks to dishonestly redefine “assault weapons” — heretofore machine-gun-type weaponry banned nearly 30 years ago — to be just about any weapon that liberals think looks especially menacing or they simply don‘t like. She proposes measures clearly in violation of the Second Amendment.

Outlawed, too, generally, would be magazines, fixed or detachable, capable of holding 10 or more rounds. (As if a six-round magazine makes a difference, given the mere seconds it takes to change one.)
