(25,242 posts)I know nothing about guns and if what you say is true - what we all need to do before any bills on this are introduced in Congress is to contact our Senators and Representatives and make sure that the law is written in a way that doesn't just comment on the looks of the weapon - but on it's firing capabilities.
We need to do that right now and up front so that when the bill is introduced it has this language in it. We shouldn't wait to see the write-up. We should have input in what the write-up is going to look like when it is ultimately introduced. So if we aren't now happy with DiFi's attempt at this - we need to help her out now - so that we'll be happy with it when it finally makes it to the floor.
Here is DiFi's telephone number in D.C.: 1-202-224-3841
I'm sure there is a mechanism as to how to contact her on her website as well: www.feinstein.senate.gov
Now is the time to act.
