California Senator Dianne Feinstein is expected to introduce new gun control legislation today in an effort to reinstate the "assault" weapons ban of the Clinton era, but Feinstein's legislation goes far beyond simply banning scary look guns. The bill being introduced today covers a wide range of handsguns, rifles, and shotguns. Firearms lawfully purchased and included in the legislation as "banned" must be registered.
