Sen. Frank Lautenberg introduced the following three gun control bills yesterday. While the text of the bills is not available yet, I am presuming that S. 32 is a clone of Rep. Carolyn McCarthy's HR 308 and that S. 34 is a reiteration of Lautenberg's proposal to ban anyone on the Do Not Fly list from buying a firearm (or explosives).
S.32 : A bill to prohibit the transfer or possession of large capacity ammunition feeding devices, and for other purposes.

The co-sponsors of the bills above read like a who's who of gun banners in the Senate. Senators Boxer, Feinstein, Durbin, and Schumer are all co-sponsors of the bills along with an assortment of other lesser gun banners.
Nice to see the Dems hurting themselves again. . .
