44. Feinstein said, and I quote...

If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them, "Mr. and Mrs. America, turn them all in," I would have done it. I could not do it. The votes weren't there.

This is not regulating firearms - this is confiscating them.

I also refer you to the original version of Illinois HB2414, which would have confiscated semi-automatics from gun owners throughout the state. This bill had heavy backing from Illinois Democrats, including Gov. Rod Blagojevich. So yes, I do know whereof I speak.
