Feinstein, Cicilline Introduce Gun Ban Bill In Senate

The bill has not yet been assigned a legislative title, but you can read the text of the bill here. Interestingly, the language of the new legislation doesn’t match what Joe Biden had called for on the campaign trail. Remember, Biden’s gun ban plan involves several steps:

• banning the manufacture, sale, and possession of all modern sporting rifles and ammunition magazines capable of holding more than ten rounds
• setting up a compensated confiscation program where gun owners can turn in their now-banned items in exchange for an undetermined cash stipend
• requiring gun owners who do not hand over their guns and magazines to the federal government to register those items under the National Firearms Act (potentially paying $200 per item for the privilege of keeping the guns and magazines you already own)
