When rumors emerged about coming assault ban legislation just one day after the re-election of Barack Obama, many scoffed at the notion that the reports were real. As we now know, they were very real, and today the Assault Weapons Ban of 2013, aimed at disarming Americans, has been introduced in Congress.

The list is a veritable who’s who of premier semi-automatic assault rifles that are owned by millions of Americans and include 2nd Amendment staples like the popular AR-15 and AK-47.

In addition to the some 150 semi-automatic rifles, handguns and shotguns on the list, the bill aims to reduce magazine capacities nationwide to 10 rounds or less.

While the new legislation would not force Americans to turn in guns they own that are on the ban list, it would require registration in a national database, which includes a background check even if you already own the gun.

Owners of banned firearms would also need to submit photo identification and a fingerprint for the national registry.

NRA: Feinstein Gun Bill ‘Wrong-Headed Approach’

Excerpt:

The National Rifle Association attacked California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s gun-control proposal on Thursday — blasting it as a “wrong-headed approach” to addressing the nation’s gun violence in light of the Connecticut school shootings last month.

“Senator Feinstein has been trying to ban guns from law-abiding citizens for decades,” the association, founded in 1871 and based in Fairfax, Va., said in a statement. “It's disappointing but not surprising that she is once again focused on curtailing the Constitution instead of prosecuting criminals or fixing our broken mental-health system.

“The American people know gun bans do not work and we are confident Congress will reject Senator Feinstein's wrong-headed approach.”

Flanked by displays of 10 assault weapons at a Capitol Hill news conference, Feinstein introduced legislation that prohibits the sale, transfer, manufacture and importation of assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines.

The bill, she said, protects 2,200 "specifically-named weapons used for hunting or sporting purposes.”

“They are by make and model exempted from the legislation,” Feinstein said, according to Reuters. “Finally, the bill subjects existing or grandfathered weapons to a background check in the event the weapon is sold or transferred.”

The Feinstein bill, however, does ban more than 150 other types of weapons, including handguns and shotguns.

The legislation is expected to face a tough battle in Congress, with Republicans — most of whom are closely allied with the NRA — strongly opposed to any gun legislation that infringes upon Second Amendment rights.

House GOP leaders also said they won’t consider any gun legislation until the Senate takes action.
