This is a straw man. You're arguing from a position that doesn't exist. Banning doesn't explicitly mean illegal, and it doesn't mean someone's coming door to door taking what you have.

imagine for 5 minutes that Feinstein is making an effort to get the other side to come to the center of the discussion. Does it make more sense now?
You have no idea what you are talking about. We currently receive arms from other countries. Do you think that all of our guns are made in the US currently?

Study history - its not straw man, and it is happening now in other countries. Learn from other's mistakes.
banning - the act of prohibiting by law
prohibit - to forbid (an action, activity, etc.) by authority or law
forbid - to prohibit (something); make a rule or law against
Seems pretty clear to the Justice Dept and myself - you just seem confused.

No one is coming door to door as they don't know where all of them are. They just want to register them first, then take them when you die - or when they decide that you aren't fit to own one anymore. Are you aware that the police decided that MLK Jr wasn't fit to own a firearm? Trust the authorities?

Feinstein is not trying to meet in the middle. She is looking to immediately reinstate her previous assault-style weapons ban, and continue to push for a complete firearms ban - as she has clearly stated since before you were born. I remember the previous ban - you need to learn about it. That bill was written and prompted by her as well.
