California Senator and hopolophobe, Diane Feinstein, has a new bill out and is looking for help in getting it passed.
To dismantle increasingly violent street gangs operating nationwide, U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said Wednesday that she’ll reintroduce a sweeping package of federal laws modeled after those used to combat organized crime.
The proposal would establish a separate class of federal crimes targeting participation in criminal street gangs, just as the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations, or RICO, Act targeted organized crime.
I’m with Mike @ Sworn Enemy on the subject “I wonder what’s buried in this one?”
Keep an eye out on your favorite firearms message boards and pro-gun websites (hopefully, including this one) for more info when it becomes available on what this bill includes.
I can easily see her trying to slip parts of the so called “Assault Weaopns Ban” in through the side door via this bill.
Remember, in 1994 the “AWB” was put through as an ‘anti-gang’ and ‘tough on crime’ bill.
That was why we had such an impossible time stopping it.
We cannot let it happen again. Now is the time for the repealing of gun legislation, not for more.
