Assault Weapons Ban Bill, 2019 US Senate

[brotherbill3]

UNDERSTAND FOLKS -
THEY ARE FEEDING YOU A LINE ...

From 1994 when the now expired AWB was passed the Washington Post Editorial Board wrote:
“”it's ridiculous that the banning should even be an issue, no one should have any illusions about what was accomplished. Assault weapons play a part in only a small percentage of crime. The provision is mainly symbolic; its virtue will be if it turns out to be, as hoped, a stepping stone to broader gun control."”

This along with Sen. Diane Feinstein's well known quotes:
“If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them... 'Mr. and Mrs. America, turn 'em all in,' I would have done it.” and: “Citizens no longer need to protect the states or themselves.”

These quotes show just what the anti-rights folks intend.

AND THEY HAVE BEEN MORE BLATANT ABOUT IT in the last year 3 yrs and getting more brazen.

Thing of the children this would save...

If, at some future time, we have foolishly put enough liberals in power, and these liberals pass a bill to disarm us, there will no doubt be severe pushback. The Dems should be careful of what they wish for. Americans are not Europeans.

I in no way advocate for violence, just looking into ,my crystal ball.

What concerns me is what kind of anti-gun stuff they might try to attach to the wall funding, if it ever happens.

 

[Vigilant]

It's about control and the concentration of power.

Me thinks this guy knows of what he talks!

Seems like we'd be used to these shenanigans by now. We know they're going to do it. They know the bills will never pass and likely won't even get a vote. The sole purpose is to allow these dim bulbs to say "we tried to save the children but they wouldn't let us". It's about time to change political labels from Right and Left to Right and Wrong. Of course, there would also be Indifferent as opposed to Independent.

Sure. If they pull this **** again then.....
"I officially place Dianne Feinstein under citizens arrest for treason against my country."

Do you know any lawyers that can help me with that?

I know plenty of attorneys that will take cases that will make them a dollar or two.

I don’t trust Trump either.

The only "Gun" related thing attached to that wall better be machine gun ports.

 

[Bennettjh]

Surprised it took them this long into 2019.

ETA: I wish Braun's contact page was up.

I support this
Tlex is trying to fake his shocked face right now lol

What if the leftists try to claim that an armed citizenry is a "national emergency"?

What if the leftists try to claim that an armed citizenry is a "national emergency"?

In that case it is time to prove to them that they are right--and treason is now out of fashion.

I wonder what Trump and the NRA will say about it.

The NRA is strongly opposed to it, of course.

[digitalphoenix]

Shocking. They sure were quick to the punch with this one. Not so much with the bump stock fiasco..

 

[actaeon277]

Of course they're "quick to the punch".
It's the same thing they push, time after time.

 

[Beowulf]

I bet the NRA is secretly thanking the Dem anti-gun brigade.

They are taking a ton of heat for backing the bumpstock ban and generally acting like a bunch of compromising Fudds.

Luckily for them, the gun grabbers are singing their same old song, so now the NRA can go back to pretending to defend our gun rights.

FWIW, PSA is selling rifle kits for 259 and free shipping. Tax on product per the King's decree.

HR 7115 bans parts kits.

Will any of these further encroachments take place? I fully expect so in time. State knows no limits.

Seeing as how the '94 ban survived every court challenge...I don't see this being a path forward.

There is a Majority Conservative SCOTUS now. Ginsberg is null and void! Might be different results today than 1994!

There is a Majority Conservative SCOTUS now. Ginsberg is null and void! Might be different results today than 1994!

The only reliable Conservatives on the court are Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch. I believe Kavanaugh believes in the Second Amendment and its purpose and will become part of the firewall.

I believe Roberts wants his legacy to be defined by being an independent devil's advocate.

Hopefully Ginsberg is replaced sometime in 2019. Once that happens with another conservative then I believe a conservative majority can be discussed.

Graham, as new judiciary chairman, and McConnell are both on record, from the Kavanaugh hearing as stating they would be the against confirmation process in 2020. Of course they are both targets of the media so their decision to move forward with confirmation in 2020 to be a thumb in the eye of Democrats, if needed, would be welcomed.
