Senator Dianne Feinstein has stated she will attempt to reintroduce the assault weapons ban of 1994 at the beginning of the 113th Congress. This petition takes no stance on that SPECIFIC issue. This petition seeks an immediate statement from the Obama administration addressing the issue of confiscating legally owned assault weapons.
Some proponents of the new assault weapons ban favor the confiscation of assault weapons already legally owned.
For example:
Governor Cuomo has stated that confiscation is an option
Regardless of if a new assault weapon ban happens publicly assure the nation already legally owned assault weapons will be grand father in and protected from any ban or seizure.
