Frequently Asked Questions

What is Senator Dianne Feinstein's proposed bill S736?

Senator Dianne Feinstein and Congressman David Cicilline introduced S736, a bill aimed at banning over 205 specific firearm models, commonly referred to as 'assault weapons', and magazines with a capacity exceeding 10 rounds. This follows other recent legislative actions concerning gun control.

What is the main argument against S736 and similar gun control measures?

The primary argument is that such legislation constitutes a 'backdoor' erosion of the Second Amendment. Critics contend that these bills leverage tragedies to advance long-standing gun control agendas and are ineffective in preventing gun violence, which is often linked to socioeconomic factors.

How does the filibuster relate to the passage of gun control bills like S736?

The filibuster rule in the Senate currently acts as a significant barrier to the passage of bills like S736. Concerns are raised about potential efforts to eliminate the filibuster, which would remove this procedural safeguard and leave the Supreme Court as the ultimate check on such legislation.

What are the concerns regarding universal background checks and gun registries?

Critics argue that universal background checks for private firearm sales are difficult to enforce without a national gun registry. This registry is feared to be a precursor to eventual gun confiscation, providing the government with the necessary data for such actions.
