Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. speaks during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday, Jan. 24, 2013, to introduce legislation on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition feeding devices. Congressional Democrats are reintroducing legislation to ban assault weapons but the measure faces long odds even after last month's mass school shooting in Newtown, Conn. The measure being unveiled Thursday is authored by Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, who wrote the original assault weapons ban.

During her press conference this morning, Sen. Dianne Feinstein explained that her gun bill would not allow federal authorities to come to their homes and take their assault weapons.
“No weapon is taken from anyone,” Feinstein insisted “The purpose of this bill is to dry up the supply of these weapons overtime, therefore there is no sunset on this bill.”
