With Republicans Reeling, Senate Democrats Introduce Assault Weapons Ban
This bill is not expected to pass this year, but it is designed to remind voters that they have a choice in 2018, and if they want to do something about mass shootings, the first step is to vote for Democrats.
Text of legislation (no mention of bump stocks though)...

This will never pass. I think the AR-15 (and AK, and other modern rifles) have much more support than they did in 1994. Gun ownership is on the rise.
The Texas heros dealt a blow to gun control in the minds of the average american.

Everyone across this great land needs to take notice of what happened here in MA on 7/20/16.
We should NEVER accept another AWB in this land again. Knowing now what their game plan is and how those in the Exec branch can simply "re-interpret" and "re-define" what an "Assault Weapon" is on a whim!
"Assault Weapon" is a made up, fabricated term that clearly can be re-defined at moment by any tyrant.
1 ‘‘(v) A semiautomatic version of an automatic firearm.
so.. basically all semi-auto rifles. They've reduced the acceptable evil feature count to 1, and included things like Beretta Storm.
Interesting that the SKS still doesn't seem to listed. (or I missed it)

Feinstein's bill defines the receiver of any assault weapon as an assault weapon.
That's kind of interesting, actually. An AR receiver is defined as an assault weapon in her 2017 bill, but wasn't in the 1994 one. Why is that? Oh, right, because the 1994 version doesn't cover receivers, and this proves it. If the '94 one covered receivers, they wouldn't need the change, right?

feinstein said:“It’s important to understand how we got where we are today. In 1966, the unthinkable happened: a madman climbed the University of Texas clock tower and opened fire, killing more than a dozen people."
