At least those who wish to appeal or amend the 2nd amendment have my respect.
I don't agree with them, just respect them. Note, I'm not a Constitution Law expert, so corrections are welcome.
They are at least following the Constitution and it's rules and are not trying to legislate around the Bill of Rights with a ban.
Of course, a right is a right; recognized (not granted) by the Constitution, and cannot be amended, appealed, or legislated away.
If only there were penalties to forswearing their oath of office... Sen. Feinstein & all who vote for the weapons ban should be immediately fired for perjuring their oath.
We all need to contact our Congressmen and Representatives, remind them that:
1) there is only one way to legally change the Constitution and Bill of Rights, ie Article 5.
2) that a weapons ban at any level is unconstitutional and will tie everyone up in the courts.
3) and remind them of their oath to support and defend the Constitution.
We should not have to argue stats, charts, and numbers to show a ban is worthless, although they do show that it is.
All it should take is one member of the House and/or Congress to stand up and make the motion that the Feinstein ban is unconstitutional on its face, and motion that it must be handled as a constitutional amendment under Article 5.

Article V The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.

5 USC § 3331 - Oath of office An individual, except the President, elected or appointed to an office of honor or profit in the civil service or uniformed services, shall take the following oath: “I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” This section does not affect other oaths required by law.
