you saw senator dianne feinstein reference them moments ago. we'll have shannon here to talk to her about what this legislation potentially means, and rhode island, the last hold-out for marriage equality among the new england states, but maybe not for much longer. an historic vote happening tonight. look, if you have copd like me, you know it can be hard to breathe, and how that feels. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva helps control my copd symptoms by keeping my airways open for 24 hours. plus, it reduces copd flare-ups. spiriva is the only once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that does both. spiriva handihaler tiotropium bromide inhalation powder does not replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells, you get hives,

thank you very much, senator feinstein. thank you to the colleagues in the senate and the members that are here today in support of this legislation. i'm speaking today on behalf of the major city chiefs cities chiefs association. we are an organization made up of the 63 largest cities in the united states and i have the honor of serving as president of the organization on my way down here, i was on the train i received a call from the executive director of the international association of chiefs of police, which is the largest of all the police organization. unfortunately they could not be here today, but they wanted me to pass on to you their support in this legislation. members and executives, my good friends and chair of the national prevention for gun violence, thank you for being here as well. i'm here to also speak for myself. i've been in law enforcement for more than 40 years and i have spent 40 years in that department. i have spent nine years as the police a police chief in washington dc and for the last five yea

i would agree with dianne feinstein. it's the high-powered guns of any variety which can fire 30 or 40 or more rous in less than a minute that can cause mass murder that would be my primary concern right now. and the ar-15 is a prime example of that. >> okay, right now, and the reason you find so many of us, and by the way, it's a substantial majority, i think the last time i saw, 63% of the american people agree that the second amendment is actually there to protect us from tyranny. the reason you find so many of us very reluctant to go down this road is we believe each step down the road leads to the next step and the next step and the next step. we actually think the second amendment is central to our liberties, not just something there for hunters, not something there for target practice, but actually there because the founding fathers remembered that when your army tried to defeat us, luckily, our peasants weren't peasants. they were citizens. as citizens, they were in fact armed. that's the only reason we were able

you think this feinstein approach has a chance? >> well, i think that harry reid gave you the signal that it's going to be very difficult because he said i'm not bringing up anything in the senate that isn't going pass in the house. because he has vulnerable democrats who are up for election in 2014 that are in states that value their guns, and i think that it's going to be very difficult. and i also think republicans are looking at other issues like violence in the movies, violence on these video games and that it's a culture thing that has to be talked about and a part of the debate as well as just always focusing on the limitation of guns. >> including mental health care and issues related to that. i want to get to the other side of the aisle here. i think this is complete disregard for the second amendment. this is like a bombshell. in fact i don't even think the white house will back this. >> i don't know whether the white house will back it. as a lawyer i don't think it violates the second amendment even under the heller deci

susan mcginnis, cbs news, washington. >>> while introducing her bill, senator feinstein got personal. she talked about the day george moscone and harvey milk were assassinated at san francisco city hall. >>> i was the one that found supervisor milk's body and put a finger in a bullet hole trying to get a pulse. once you have been been through one of these episodes, once you see what the crime scene is like, it isn't like the movies. it changes your view of weapons. >> feinstein's bill would ban more than 150 assault style firearms and high capacity magazines but she concedes that it has little chance of making it through congress. >>> we have some live pictures right now. this is tahrir square in egypt. it's a protest anniversary. as you may recall a year ago today a number of people -- hundreds of thousands of students and people in egypt -- was it two years ago, pardon me -- where they began to overthrow their government. >> that was the uprising commonly known as the arab spring that led to the ouster of hosni mubarak, the two-year anniversary of protests in cairo, egypt. a live lo

senator dianne feinstein is making good on her vow to take action. she's about to unveil her tough new bill. the provisions include bans on military-styled assault weapons to be defined in this bill as well. bans on semiautomatic rifles, handguns, and shotguns, a strengthening of the 1994 ban which, by the way, if you didn't know, senator feinstein authored the 1994 bill that expired in 2004. also, bans on magazines that hold more than ten rounds. again, those are just the highlights. there's plenty more, though. the senator's move follows president obama's push for much stronger gun control measures and, of course, new york state's new gun control law which is now the toughest in the nation and signed into law by andrew cuomo last month. we're covering all aspects of senator feinstein's new bill. dana bash has been following this. she's going to join our crime and justice correspondent. first to you, dana, on capitol hill, theatrics are often times discussed as part of the problem when discussing the military-style assault weapons in the first place

commissioner, you just heard senator feinstein. do you think-- is this the right way to approach this? is banning assault weapons where you start banning these magazines that hold more than, say, 10 rounds? or do you see it in a different way there in new york? >> well, i commend the senator. i i think it's certainly a move in the right direction. i agree with it. as the senator said, it's probably a heavy lift in congress, but for us in new york city. >> and believe in most urban centers of america, the problem really is concealable handguns. only 2% of the people that we've arrested for guns in the last two years have had assault weapons. we don't want them on the streets. make no mistake about it, but the problem is the handgun. 60% of the murders in new york city are caused by handguns. and we simply have too many of them. even though last year, we had a record low in murders in new york city, and a record low in shootings, it's still way too many. >> schieffer: if you had a wish list of what you would like the congress to do,

hope out there and that is you. >> feinstein is introducing her bill to been high capacity magazine clips and certain assault weapons like the one she displayed but it would allow more than 2,200 types of hunting rifles and shotguns. it won't be an easy sell. >> we believe in our right to defend ourselves and our families with semi automatautom firearms technology. >> there is opposition to measures and the n.r.a. said the american people know gun bans do not work and we are confident congress will reject senator feinstein's wrong-headed approach. the lobby may be too much for feinstein's legislation, something she openly acknowledged. >> if anyone asked today can you win this, the answer is we don't know. it is so uphill. >> even if the assault weapons ban goes nowhere in congress some groups hope members will pass universal brown checks. a move that may be no are politically pal -- palatable. >> as the vice president heads outs of capitol demonstrators are descending on washington. the march for life is one of the largest anti-abortion ever to hit the capitol. it comes the same we

feinstein of course was the chief author of the so-called assault weapons ban. there is david from the national rifle association. he's there as part of a big show of muscle by that powerful lobbying organization. dana, having covered these type of hearings in the past, sometimes there's a mood. you can sense whether it's tension, whether it's emotion, obviously congresswoman gabrielle giffords' presence there is worth noting. is there anything discernible that you are detecting? is there tension? angry stares between feinstein and lapierre. >> the best way to describe it is high anticipation. this is the very first hearing of this issue since the shootings at newtown and the first hearing that any congressional committee is having since democrats in particular said they were going to take on the gun issue once again after leaving it alone for more than a decade because it was bad politics for them. i think high anticipation for sure. especially since we've been reporting that gabrielle giffords herself who was a member of this congressional body is going to com
