ORIGINAL: MrRodgers A ban on assault weapons was passed in 1994 and expired without renewal, in 2004. Two days after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, Senator Dianne Feinstein said she would introduce a new assault weapons ban on the first day of Congress. In 1/2013, Sen. Feinstein introduced S. 150, the "Assault Weapons Ban of 2013." The bill was similar to the 1994 ban, but differed in that it used a one-feature test for a firearm to qualify as an assault weapon rather than the two-feature test of the 1994 ban. In 4/2013, it failed on a Senate vote of 60 to 40. A 60-40 majority mind you but could not override the auto/anonymous filibuster I guess. What of it ? I was trying to get Music to give one straight answer. He said if I wanted one start a thread so I did, as you see he still refuses to answer and is counting on others to defend him.
