On today’s episode of NBC’s Meet the Press, Senator Feinstein pledged to bring a bill outlawing “the sale, the transfer, the importation and the possession [of assault weapons] — not retroactively but perspectively” to the new Congress’s initial January session. The proposed law will also “ban the same for big clips, drums or strips of more than 10 bullets.” And, like Mayor Bloomberg, who also appeared on the show to pressure President Obama to increase gun control, she assured the audience that passing such a measure “can be done.”
