Washington—Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) released the following statement today on the issue of gun safety:

“Weapons of war do not belong on our streets, plain and simple. I am considering how I might strengthen the Assault Weapons Ban that expired in 2004 and how best to move forward with that bill. In the meantime, I support other efforts including Senator Lautenberg’s bill to ban high-capacity magazines. That provision was included in the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban and I hope it gains some traction in the Senate.”
