Choose Your Weapons! Ted Cruz gets it absolutely right! He corrected Dianne Feinstein, the Constitution does not allow her to Choose Her Weapons!

The 2nd Amendment is just too inconvenient for Feinstein and her anti-constitutionalists. Cruz asked, but was never answered, why certain weapons are, in her proposed legislation, allowed to be banned? Then why aren't certain newspapers allowed to be banned under the 1st Amendment? Or Religions? Or what items may be prohibited by her in other parts of the Bill of Rights? She gave no direct answer except condescension. m/r

Dianne Feinstein, Ted Cruz trade barbs over gun ban - John Bresnahan - POLITICO.com

The Senate Judiciary Committee has approved a hugely controversial ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips, but the measure faces nearly certain defeat on the Senate floor.

The proposal, authored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), bans 157 different models of assault weapons, as well as magazines containing more than 10 bullets.

The vote was 10 to 8, with all Democrats supporting it and all Republicans opposed.

The Senate now faces a floor fight in coming weeks over Democrats’ push to dramatically alter U.S. gun laws for the first time in two decades. While the Feinstein assault weapons ban is unlikely to overcome GOP opposition and get a vote — as well as concerns from red state Democrats up for reelection in 2014 — Democrats and the White House will continue their drive to enact universal background checks on all gun sales.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), a member of the Judiciary Committee, acknowledged that the assault weapons ban will have a hard time overcoming opposition.
