Sen. Adam Schiff just inherited Dianne Feinstein’s torch—and immediately used it to light his credibility on fire.
In a now-laughed-off social media video, Schiff reintroduced the “Assault Weapons Ban of 2025,” a recycled gun control fever dream that’s already been dunked on by the facts—and even by his own platform.
Within hours, the post got slapped with a brutal community note pointing out that his claim—that the 1994 ban “held crime and mass shootings at bay for 10 years”—is flat-out false. The Department of Justice’s own research says it had no measurable effect on gun violence.
Oops.
That didn’t stop Schiff from repeating the tired old talking point about “weapons of war,” a term cooked up by people who clearly haven’t fired anything louder than a Nerf gun.
Never mind the over 30 million modern sporting rifles (MSRs) in circulation across America—used daily by law-abiding citizens for hunting, home defense, competition shooting, and plinking pop cans in the backyard.

That’s more MSRs than there are Ford F-150s, and nobody’s trying to ban those.
Let’s be clear: this bill has no chance of passing. Even with Democrats controlling Congress in 2021-2022, the ban never made it to a vote.
Now, with Republicans holding both chambers, it’s dead on arrival. That’s the nicest way to say “laughably doomed.”
But the circus must go on. Schiff trotted out the usual suspects—Padilla, Murphy, Blumenthal, and the Brady/Giffords crew—for a press conference nobody watched, to push polling numbers nobody believes.
Murphy had the gall to call this bill “popular,” even though Gallup shows support for an AWB dropping steadily, from 61% in 2019 to just 52% in 2024. Meanwhile, opposition keeps climbing, as NSSF’s Larry Keane noted in a brilliant op-ed.
Here’s the truth: Schiff’s Assault Weapons Ban isn’t about safety. It’s about control, headlines, and cash for gun control PACs. Schiff’s political theater may excite donors and D.C. interns, but in the real world, Americans aren’t buying it—and they’re not giving up their rights.
Nice try, Senator. Maybe next time, bring facts instead of fiction.

Why is it that squirrels little wimps like Schiff want to see the rest of America disarmed? Do they think it’ll protect anyone? Great Britain has been disarmed and it’s been totally ineffective, especially with all of the third world savages they’ve imported. Seriously, when do we vote out clowns like Schiff and his cohorts?
Treason in the highest form
What do you expect. It Commifornia
The most retarded fools in America all gather under the DemoRAT banner. I hate them all.
If you can’t do anything with the truth what else is left? Lie of course what he’s done the most of in his sorry career. I was born here in CA and built my final house and workshop. To okd to start over. I never thought it would get this bad. Where do they get these people?
What else can we expect from a man with shitfer brains.
They don’t call him shifty-schiff for nothing! He just another ultra-left-wing liberal shit-bag from the Peoples Republic of Kalifornistan.
These fools have a better chance banning ice cream than the most popular rifle sold in the world. Banning the import of illegal criminals was more important for safety than anything. Remember, people are the problem, not the type of rifle.
Red Flag Law Comey, raid his house and perp walk the chump.
Adam Schiff is an idiot. Hay Adam just an fyi, it’s better for people to think your an idiot, than to speak and confirm your an idiot.
Satan is the Father of Lies… but Adam Schiff is an EXTREMELY CLOSE second.
Should we let Schiff for brains know that Lucifer hates him?
Of his Daddy the Devil, just like Bidunce.
Come now Gentlemen and Ladies, WHAT credibility???? He NEVER had any!
Schiff happens…
The only reason I can see that democrats wish to ban citizens from having weapons is they long for a Soviet style society and having the little people being armed gets in the way if that goal!
