Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s office confirmed that she will be introducing in the Senate Thursday a new version of the so-called assault weapon ban. A spokesman said the full text will be released at a press conference on Thursday.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed into law the same ban in New York last week.  Continue reading “National ‘assault weapon’ ban coming Thursday”
