Feinstein's office has also revealed that while the bill would not mandate the confiscation of pre-ban weapons, it would require registration of any grandfathered weapons.

And we all know what that inevitably leads to.  Her previous draft of the bill had no such grandfathering clause.  Make no mistake, they are trying to set us up for confiscation.  She just made the political calculation to stealth it through NFA registration/taxation. "Assault weapons" could not be legally transferred under her bill and are therefore confiscated at the death of the owner.  It also transfers the burden of proof of when a "high capacity" magazine was made to the owner, instead of the government.  Guilty until proven innocent.

"Whereas the 1994 ban allowed the importation of magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition that were manufactured before the ban took effect and protected gun owners from errant prosecution by making government prove when a magazine was made, the new ban would require firearms dealers to certify when any such a magazine was manufactured. This is virtually impossible, since magazines aren’t stamped with dates of manufacture."

Original Message Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, is set to introduce her bill to reinstate a federal assault weapons ban on Thursday.

Feinstein announced her plans to introduce the ban after December's mass shooting in Newtown, Conn. President Barack Obama has also called for a ban on weapons that resemble military firearms.

The bill will call for the prohibition of 120 specific weapons, magazines that can carry more than 10 cartridges and firearms that can accept a detachable magazine in addition to at least one other military-style feature. Feinstein's office has also revealed that while the bill would not mandate the confiscation of pre-ban weapons, it would require registration of any grandfathered weapons.
