Of course this won't turn into going after guns...

Bans the sale, transfer, importation, or manufacturing of:
120 specifically-named firearms.
Certain other semiautomatic rifles, handguns, shotguns that can accept a detachable magazine and have one military characteristic.
Semiautomatic rifles and handguns with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10 rounds.
Strengthens the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban and various state bans by:
Moving from a 2-characteristic test to a 1-characteristic test.
Eliminating the easy-to-remove bayonet mounts and flash suppressors from the characteristics test.
Banning firearms with “thumbhole stocks” and “bullet buttons” to address attempts to “work around” prior bans.
Bans large-capacity ammunition feeding devices capable of accepting more than 10 rounds.
Protects legitimate hunters and the rights of existing gun owners by:
Grandfathering weapons legally possessed on the date of enactment.
Exempting over 900 specifically-named weapons used for hunting or sporting purposes.
Exempting antique, manually-operated, and permanently disabled weapons.
Requires that grandfathered weapons be registered under the National Firearms Act, to include:
Background check of owner and any transferee;
Type and serial number of the firearm;
Positive identification, including photograph and fingerprint;
Certification from local law enforcement of identity and that possession would not violate State or local law; and
Dedicated funding for ATF to implement registration
Much of Feinstein's proposed bill goes well beyond the previous AWB from '94, and is clear infringement of personal liberty. And if this doesn't strike you as a serious infringement on your liberty - whether you served in the military or are just a plain old citizen - you might want to re-read it and think about it some more.
