Feinstein's Gun Ban Introduced in Congress (Shutterstock photo) March 12, 2021 By Mark Chesnut U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein might lie about nearly everything related to firearms and gun control, but when she says she is going to introduce another gun ban she is generally telling the truth. Such was the case on Thursday when Feinstein, along with fellow gun-ban advocate U.S. Rep. David Cicilline, D-Rhode Island, introduced what they call the “Assault Weapons Ban.” It is, of course, not that at all—rather, a ban on most popular semi-automatic rifles used legally and safely by millions of Americans for sport shooting, competition, self-defense and hunting.
