CSPAN interview with Feinstein

[Glockman1000]

Sen. Feinstein video interview to reclassify all "military style" weapons in the same class as fully automatic, NFA type weapons. As stated still a work in progress, but hints at what they intend to accomplish.

Of note: Requires that no grandfathering will be allowed, rough transcript from CSPAN below. I suggest watching the clip to get the full commentary.

00:00:03 THE GENERAL BELIEF IS THAT THIS BILL WILL BE ON THE FLOOR NEXT WEEK WE COME BACK.

00:00:10 >> WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE STATE OF THE ART AND WEAPONRY.

00:00:13 I DO NOT BELIEVE A CAUSE FOR ANY COMPENSATION OF WEAPONS ALREADY OUT THERE.

00:00:19 OTHER THAN STOPPING PEOPLE FROM BUYING NEW ONES, IF THERE IS ALREADY TOO MUCH ACCESS, WHAT WOULD THE FACT BE?

00:00:27 GOOD QUESTION AND I THANK YOU FOR IT.

00:00:30 WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IS PLACING THESE WEAPONS UNDER THE FEDERAL FIREARMS ACT, THE SAME ACT THAT EXISTS FOR AUTOMATIC WEAPONS.

00:00:40 SINCE THERE ARE NOW DEVICES TO LEGALLY MAKE THEM AUTOMATIC, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT IS PRUDENT TO PLACE THEM UNDER THE FEDERAL FIREARMS ACT.

00:00:52 THIS WOULD REQUIRE THEY BE REGISTERED HAVE A BACKGROUND CHECK.

00:00:58 IT IS INCONCEIVABLE AFTER WHAT THE NRA SAID TODAY THEY DO NOT THINK PEOPLE WHO HAVE GUNS SHOULD HAVE BACKGROUND CHECKS OR THAT THEY SHOULD BE -- THEY SHOULD BE REGISTERED.

00:01:09 WE ARE LOOKING AT A BUYBACK PROGRAM.

00:01:12 AGAIN, THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.

00:01:16 THESE ARE IDEAS IN THE DEVELOPMENT.

00:01:19 DO YOU THINK PEOPLE WHO ALREADY OWN THEM WOULD HAVE TO REGISTER?

00:01:24 THEY WOULD HAVE TO REGISTER THEIR MILITARY ASSAULT STYLE WEAPONS.

00:01:29 IT WOULD BE PUT UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE FEDERAL FIREARMS ACT.

00:01:33 I AM SURE YOU CAN READ THE ACT AND SEE WHAT THAT
