The entire point of any kind of restrictions or bans is to disarm law-abiding citizens. That’s it. Nothing else.
Sen. Diane Feinstein is back at it again. The notoriously anti-Second Amendment senator has introduced the Assault Weapons Ban of 2019, which would outlaw 205 “military-style assault weapons by name” along with any magazine that holds more than 10 rounds plus a bunch of other common firearms and accessories.
As is typical of this kind of legislation, the bill does nothing to address gun crime in any way, but only seeks to ban firearms that politicians say people shouldn’t be allowed to own—because they’re scary—along with a bunch of nonsense about “military characteristics,” which apparently include any forward grip and barrel shrouds.
It would also make a large number of suppressed firearms illegal, as it outlaws any firearm with a detachable mag and a threaded barrel.
From the bill text, which you can read in full here:
“Bans any assault weapon that accepts a detachable ammunition magazine and has one ore more military characteristics including a pistol grip, a forward grip, a barrel shroud, a threaded barrel, or a folding or telescoping stock.”
