California Senator Diane Feinstein (D) wants to federally ban more than 150 different privately-owned guns, including:
- A long list of semi-automatic rifles, including the commonly-owned home protection rifle AR-15.
- Dozens of handguns manufactured by mainstream gun companies.
- At least nine different shotguns variants.
- All belt-fed semiautomatic weapons.
As a reminder to the non-gun-familiar crowd, “semi-automatic” simply means “one trigger pull, one shot fired”. Most commonly-owned home protection weapons in existence today are semi-automatic.
