I reread the phuchstein thingie. What the hell is an assault pistol? By what characteristics is it defined? I bet before this bill they had NO description. And since they do not exist how can they be banned?
Anti-gunners are of the idea that they have to "do something", no matter how useless it is. It is just some more 'feel good' law making.
Black, magazine fed, predominantly seen in Hollywood blockbuster action films. The old James Bond would not have carried an assault weapon. Jim carried a sexy weapon, barnaby Jones did not carry an assault weapon, Andy nor Barney carried assault weapons, Andy was so badazz he carried nothing but Barney,
and Barney carried but one bullet,
in his pocket.
But, alas, men were men in those days, James Bond fought world domination with a single stack .380, a Walther PPK. The puzzification of men has led to the proliferation of bad guns. We need to go back to the day and age when a man could and would fight evil with a SAA Colts revolver. When you could subdue a bad man with a .32ACP Colts hammerless, and a sneer. Sadly the sneer has been bred out of men, replaced with Alan Alda tenderness. I would submit Humphree Bogart could hospitalize Alec Baldwin with a sidelong glance, and send him into ICU with a contemptious laugh.
Feinstien and her ilk are happy that they can now whip a mans ass. No longer happy with whining and harping they are hell bent on physical domination. The only recourse men have is to turn to Assault Weapons (pistols?) to fend off these harpy's, and it must be stopped.
Imasculation and now disarmament where will it stop? I'm only sorta joking.
