From Breitbart: Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) paid homage to the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and introduced “the ‘assault weapons’ ban of 2025” Wednesday morning.
In an X post, Schiff explained that his legislation would “ban the sale, manufacture, import, and transfer of military-style ‘assault weapons.’”
He claimed there have been “486 mass shootings involving ‘assault weapons’” since 2006, but did not provide any sources to substantiate the figures. He did reference Feinstein’s introduction of the first “assault weapons” ban over three decades ago, then claimed her ban “had a dramatic impact on mass shootings” during the ten years in which it was in place.
Schiff’s claim runs counter to the Department of Justice’s National Institute of Justice report which indicated the ban could not be credited with any reduction in crime.

Conservatives are blasting Schiff over his proposal. Below is just a sampling of the outrage that’s pouring in:
Military-style assault weapons are already banned in the US and have been for decades.
You’re trying to slip in a ban of almost every semi-automatic weapon imaginable because you think everyone is stupid.

Also if I recall correctly Schiff never received one of Biden’s bogus pardons, so… yeah you could go after him with full force.”

109 “mass shootings” so far in 2025.
576 in 2024.
the overwhelming majority are handguns used by black gang members, in blue cities where gun laws are already the most strict…places y’all want to reduce cops.
it’s like being afraid of drunk drivers so you ban airplanes.
