U.S. House Representatives introduced over the weekend their take on the new-and-improved “assault weapons” ban, and while the text of the legislation has yet to be released, preening gun-ban proponents like Colorado congresswoman Diana DeGette have outlined the new restrictions on their official government websites.
The Assault Weapons Ban of 2019 (H.R.1296) echoes similar legislation introduced by Sen. Dianne Feinstein and others in the Senate, but unlike in the upper chamber, the House bill has a good chance of passing.
“With Democrats once again in control of the House, now is the time to enact commonsense gun safety legislation,” DeGette said. “We can’t allow what happened in Aurora, or Columbine, or Parkland, or Newtown, or Las Vegas, to ever happen again. We need to get these assault weapons off of our streets and we need to do it now.”
“I do believe, because in this Congress…there is bipartisan legislation to have common sense background checks to prevent guns going into the wrong hands. It doesn’t cover everything, but it will save many lives,” Pelosi said on CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time.”
“This will be a priority for us going into the next Congress,” she added.

Tellingly subtitled “to ensure that the right to keep and bear arms is not unlimited,” HR 1296 names 205 specific makes and models of firearms that could no longer be legally sold, transferred, produced, or imported. Along with this list, the legislation also bans
- Semi-automatic rifles and pistols with a military-style feature that can accept a detachable magazine;
- Semi-automatic rifles with a fixed magazine that can hold more than 10 rounds;
- Semi-automatic shotguns with a military-style feature;
- Any ammunition feeding device that can hold more than 10 rounds.
A revival of the 1994 Clinton “assault weapons” ban has been a holy grail of the gun control lobby since the original ban expired in 2004. Despite the fact that the 1994 ban resulted in no discernable drop in crime or mass murders, proponents believe a more restrictive set of regulations can decrease the frequency of incidents like Parkland and Las Vegas.
DeGette, for example, claims in her press release that in the 10 years after the 1994 ban expired, mass murders increased by 183 percent. Unfortunately for DeGette and others, Politifact rates this claim “Mostly False” and points out that it’s based on “flawed analysis.”
But wait, there’s more!
House Democrats won’t be satisfied with an “assault weapons” ban, however.
Another bill, H.R. 1112, takes a page from the New York gun control playbook by removing the “default to proceed” practice for delayed federal background checks.
Under current law, a gun dealer can transfer a firearm to a buyer if the FBI has not made a background check determination after three business days. H.R. 1112 increases that waiting period to 10 days, but then would require the purchaser to file a “petition” with the FBI. A gun dealer could only transfer the firearm after waiting an additional 10 days after the petition has been filed, which would increase the waiting period from three business days to 20.

As we’ve reported, background checks are often delayed unnecessarily due to bureaucratic errors. In addition, the FBI has instituted no appeals process for delayed checks and all NICS checks expire after 30 days. In short, H.R. 1112 could unjustly suspend the Second Amendment rights of American citizens for an indefinite period of time.
Other bills would place rifle-caliber pistols and semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines under the National Firearms Act. Both policies would require prospective buyers to undergo an extensive background check and pay a $200 tax stamp before taking ownership.
In all, anti-gun politicians in Congress have proposed 20 pieces of gun control legislation. Stay tuned as we continue to track these bills as they wend their way through the legislative process.
We can’t allow what happened in Russia in the 1930s, either.
History repeats itself. This is the harbinger to registration folowed by confiscation. EXACTLY the same tactics per Nazi, communist and socialistic regimes. Take a good look at knfe crime and the U.K. I don’t think we wanna go down that rabbit hole. And yes we are reaching critical mass for a civil war.
Can we just stop pussyfooting around and get this civil war started already? Nobody is giving up their AR-15s
So who’s gonna enforce this with the people who use the guns for crimes lol? Retarded no offense to the handicapped.
IMO, some gun owners and the idiots who want these bans, cant see the forest because of the trees. This is nothing more than another step in moving toward complete socialism. I never thought I would see this kind movement in my lifetime. My grand kids lifetime, but never mine. Its a shame. A complete shame
So, If I get this correct those who have mental health issues rule over all the sane and responsible people, according to the democratic left. So , in short the patients are running the Asylum I guess.
A quick look at congress [a baboon colony] confirms your statement!
This people must feel good when they do dumb things. Go after the real problems and let us law abiding citizens alone.
Sou ds like another grab at the law abiding citizen guns. When will the idiots in washington realize that no matter what the criminals will get guns other ways if they want. And guns wont stop murders cause there are more ways than guns to kill people
WHEN YOUR GOVERNMENT COMES FOR YOUR GUNS REMEMBER TO GIVE THEM YOUR AMMO FIRST 1776%
These are incremental steps ultimately ending in confiscation. Democrats are following their historic ties to socialistic ideology. Don’t trust anything they propose when it comes to your right to bear arms. In fact, don’t trust them with much of anything.
Under these rules even the good old SKS would be illegal as I’m sure they would consider the folding bayonet to be a “military style feature”!
Anybody know who we contact to file a complaint for Treason? Whoever sponsors or votes for this will be committing HIGH TREASON! They should all be swiftly be removed from office, arrested, tried,convicted and punished according to the constitution! We need to get a definitive ruling on THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED! I’m just an auto mechanic, and I know that it means government is supposed to not impair my right to have whatever weapons I choose to have. If they don’t like it, they need to fucking get out of AMERICA, and go to some place that fits their control freak idiot minds.
It’s very clear that the Democrat’s want to hand over America to either N. Korea or the Russians or even Iran. America is an open country to anyone with the intent to invade , if Democrat’s take or right under the constitution 2 Amendment .
Pelosi is only trying to make a name for herself , and all her democrat cronies as well .
They all pitch a good round of words . But there intent is re-election and making a name in history.
History will only write down how they gave America to the enemies .
A good old fashion tax revolt. Stop paying for more of your rights to be stripped away day after day. The governments biggest fear isn’t an armed revolution it’s a non-violent tax revolt.
I know this is just conspiracy talk on my part, but sometimes I wonder if gun manufacturers actually encourage this kind of behavior from the Dems?
I’m guessing that there nothing like good ‘ol proposed gun control legislation to spur sales through the roof.
I’ve had more than a few gun dealers tell me that Trump has been terrible for business, while with Obama they couldn’t keep stuff on the shelves (anyone remember the .22 ammo fiasco?)
They’re not “assault weapons”, they’re “Freedom Seed Dispensers”
Food for thought, why not let states that vote Democrat, become gun free. Any Republican, that wants to band guns, can move to one of those states!
Other states will follow the constitution, and have weapons of choice!
All of my military brothers and sisters need to remember the Oath we took to our country! It, seems that Democratis are trying hard to fall under the Domestic part of that Oath!
And what effect is this ludicrous legislation going to have on STREET SALES????? Legislation should be aimed at the criminal arena. Definately can see which element of society the Dems support.
As always the carpenter looks for a nail to swat. The bald truth is that no one can control anyone else and laws, especially stupid ones, cannot either.
The futility of attempting to control people is most evident in penitentiaries where the “control” is constant and ineffective.
To those who would control others activity always seems like action.
I want everyone who votes for this nonsense tell me how they are going to take criminals guns away and how are they going to stop there back alley sales to each other.
Note to self: Order more 80% lowers.
Ammo,good guns last but ammo goes away with each enemy dealt with,,,,,
It will pass the house. But not the Senate.
And anyone that votes for this needs removed from office instantly, taken to the gallows that will be places on the Capitol steps, and publicly hanged for treason. Make an example out of, oh say 6 or so, and the rest will either honor their oaths, or resign and go home. OF the people, BY the people and FOR the people, not in spite of the people. THEY work for us and they need reminded of that.
How exactly is this going to stop a criminal from getting a firearm exactly? Also for a group that keeps saying “common sense” over and over again they sure are lacking a lot of that.
Let’s start a petition and remove her from office
When the jerkoff libs finally get their way about guns I want Nancy herself to come to my front door and take mine!!! Good luck Nancy, oh, and bring Maxine with you!!!!!!!!!
They’re not going to get “their way” about guns EVER!
Since the Constitution obviously doesn’t clarify the self-evident right of self-preservation clear enough for ignoramus demotards, I can assure you the guns eventually will.
That subtitle pisses me off. It’s blatant treason. We need to start a petition to remove armed security details for Democrats.
Shows how stupid Democrats are. Tell me who is going to go get the criminals guns, go on, please tell me. Your idiots.
There is no power or authority whatsoever for the government to modify, restrict, or repeal any of the people’s rights in absence of of any commission or conviction of a crime.
No part of the “Bill of Rights” is subject to repeal.
There is nothing in the Constitution that authorizes the government or any particular agency to armed or have exclusive use of arms.
The only provision in the Constitution for anyone to be armed is for “the people”, and the term “Arms” refers specifically to fully functional military grade weaponry. Only the people have the right to own, possess, and use military arms unless they authorize Congress to constitute an army to fight an enemy of the United States or any one of them.
WELL, WHEN WE ELECT DORKS INTO OUR GOVERNMENT, THE RESULTS ARE ALWAYS THE SAME. THEY GO ANTI GUN AND ANTI AMERICAN ASAP. MUST BE A COMMON DISEASE IN ALL THE VOTING BOOTHS AND WASHINGTON DC. IN GENERAL.
we are seeing canada and us lookalikes. using the same stale beer,guns dont kill people people mentaly unstable or terrorist are the culperts.they do a crime and they come and take the law abiding hunter,farmer shooter or collectorif guns . if you took all the vehicles because someday someone will kill someone or themselves driving it.sounds stupid eh. but compare it to there reasoning and puff away you go
This kind of talk only sells firearms and ammunition. Every ole’ “redneck” will rush out and buy a gun and/or ammunition “ just in case”, you know ? i’ll buy some more ammo this weekend. Of course, l don’t have a gun !
Looks like those idiots would have learned from the Obama administration that every time they start trying to indorse some new kind of gun control all it does is drives up prices and more new gun production. I hope they waste there time and efforts for all it will do is weaken there run in the 2020 election.
Can’t fix stupid.
Sounds like their ban would include a Remington Mod 522 that my father gave me (at least 50 years old) since it can hold 15 .22 cal rounds of ammo.
Here’s my response;
Kiss my ass mad damn speaker!!
The politicians are going to piss around and find out what the 2nd Amendment is all about.
Dem dummies want open borders, no firearms, allow drug cartels into US and basically turn the United States into Mexico. I read they had 33,000 murders last year(2018).
I don’t think you could take all victims of mass shootings and get close to the number of murders in Mexico alone.
I would love to ask Pelosi how many Americans is she willing to sacrifice so she can say she banned weapons in the USA.
The one reason all those migrants give as the reason for coming to America is fleeing violence. The only difference between the United States and Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico is Americans have the capability to fight crime and they do not.
We better fight libs or lose that Right!!!
In the event all this bull crap stuff passes the entire Government and city police all city council shall be totally responsible for each citizen for being injured, stabbed, shot, beaten by any individual the city and state government will be responsible to pay all or any hospital bills Dr bills, any follow up Dr appointments, any loss of wage all insurance bills until citizens have fully recovered
Not with my tax dollars. You are just as bad as the politicians if you are proposing how to spend my tax dollars. We can’t even get our roads fixed out here so why would you want to use that money to support victims. We already do that for those un-insured victims.
I know you are smart enough to understand why he is saying the city, gov., or whoever would be responsible for bills incurred. They take our arms, they are therefore responsible because we couldn’t defend ourselves. What are you doing about your tax dollars going to other countries, paying for programs that support illegals, and the list goes on and on. Short of revolution, all is lost.
Revolution may become necessary…..at we will have a list of primary targets, self identified by their own signatures upon documents calling for the infringement of inalienable rights, usurpation of popular sovereignty, and willfully and knowingly engaging in organized treason and actual rebellion against the United States of America.
A common misconception is that the wage taxes we pay goes to fixing roads but the only money spent on roads is from the tax on gas which is roughly 50%
Agreed
Courts have decided, numerous times, most recently, in the Parkland event, that police have no specific duty to protect individuals. They may have an “duty” to protect society at large, but that is not enforceable.
We cannot allow these treasonous criminal Democrats to continue to lie about AR-15s and other weapons whose ownership is guaranteed by the 2nd amendment.. Any attempts to enforce unconstitutional laws should be considered an act of sedition and treason, and dealt with appropriately.
It is time for the Supreme Court to place these liberal states and federal courts on notice to stop attempting to take gun rights away from law abiding citizens, many who already have concealed weapons permits that require background checks every 5 years. How many background checks does one have to go through with this constant harassment?
don’t expect any slam dunks from the supreme court. just as i predicted, now that kavanaugh is on the court, roberts has decided that he must be the “voice of reason” and replace kennedy as the swing vote. only the end of ruth buzzi ginsberg’s seat will make things all better
America’s first revolution was triggered when the tyrants came for our guns and ammunition. By violating their oaths of office with tyrannical legislation that infringes upon our unalienable right to keep and bear arms, their laws against our Constitution and Bill of Rights are null and void. “Shall not be infringed” means just what it says. Any laws, court rulings, executive orders or bureaucratic regulations that infringe upon our hard-won Second Amendment are pure tyranny. By their actions, the Democrat party has become the anti-American party and the enemy within our gates. And by their inaction, the Republican party has placed the onus of defending the Constitution of the United States on the shoulders of we the people. The tree of American liberty is in dire need of refreshing.
Folks, it is 1938, Goebbels is in charge of propaganda and all the media, they tell the masses how to think and what to do. If you clicked on the DeGette link about what is in the bill, and read the whole article, you will see exactly how misinformation and fear are now delivered. What is most troubling in the comparison of 1936 Germany and 2019 US media, in Germany the media was forced to do Goebbels bidding, now in the US, the media gleefully misinforms, presents false facts, and out right lies to the public of their own free will and bottom line. If and when the inevitable happens to this country, and the Second Amendment is history, next will be the First, and media heads will be on the chopping block, please join in with me, if you are still here, with a ‘We told you so!” Heck, I’ll swing the ax.
Make sure you contact your Representative and demand that he or she vote NO on it’s passage.
Just what does one do when you live in an area hopelessly lost forever to democrats? Their giveaway programs and illegal votes will leave S. Texas without any adult representation, as it has been my entire life. Any call we make falls on deal ears. Also, some suggest we get up a petition. Have any of you ever seen results from a petiton?
I’m not the least bit concerned. This bill stands zero chance of being passed by the Senate and less chance being signed by President Trump and should it get to the U.S. Supreme Court, it will not pass there either. Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the House Democrats can go f*ck themselves.
You have much faith in this hijacked system, don’t forget it was finestine and trump that got rolling with the bumstocks. None of these political prostitutes are for us, it’s us against them.
Beachhawk, I am concerned. When it comes to sport shooting weapons, Didn’t Trump say he was in favor of banning them also? I am “kind of” a Trump fan. But When it comes to new sport shooting weapons laws, I think Trump is siding with the stupid Dems. Hopefully I am wrong. But we shall see. The government cant do anything to help the mentally disabled in the USA when it comes to guns. So the only option according to the crooked politicians is to ban all guns.
Everyone said the same about obamaCare, and look what happened; the USSC called it a tax.
Time for ANOTHER revolution, this time against the Communist Progressive Liberals of the world!
Let’s not leave out the neocons
Can’t wait.
The Dems are playing by their own tried and true playbook. First they get the idea out there and get everybody thinking and talking about it. Then they just keep hammering on it until it becomes law. They are in this for the long game. I find it interesting that now they’re going after rifles. Is this some sort of new revelation? I believe that the fact of the matter is that those in the Democrat leadership are scared to death that they are the next targets of opportunity. NFA requirements for the purchase of a rifle? KMA!
Each year in America, firearms are used for defensive purposes between 500,000 and 3 million times. Those aren’t numbers concocted by Second Amendment advocates. That’s according to the federal government’s own Centers for Disease Control (CDC), which in 2012 commenced a review on gun violence at the direction of Barack Obama. He probably didn’t like what they found:
“Studies that directly assessed the effect of actual defensive uses of guns (i.e., incidents in which a gun was ‘used’ by the crime victim in the sense of attacking or threatening an offender) have found consistently lower injury rates among gun-using crime victims compared with victims who used other self-protective strategies… Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million per year.”
@deanbob. I think you’re addressing the wrong audience. You don’t have to convince us….go discuss this with the anti-gunners.
Ocean, roger that; except we do get a stray, now and then! And it is for them (and any who may have doubts).
They don’t like something and take the streets and protest, and do whatever they want just to let is know what they want, the way they want.
What do we do when we see their nonsense and they want to violate our rights? nothing, just to wait to see what happens, isn’t time to show them who we are and let them know that we are pissed and fed up with all they are doing.
We don’t have to do the same things they do, but we need to take the streets and show them that we are not going to let it go, no more stepping on our rights that costed so much to those before us, the made this nation the best place to live on Earth and we are so passive that we are going to let them to destroy it.
Stop that, get out and let’s fight for our rights.
Pass all the legislation that trips your trigger, or makes you happy, but if it goes against the 2nd amendment or the Constitution it’s not law, and must be ignored, it is our duty and right to do so. And while you socialist nit wit’s don’t believe in God, as you are atheist, God gives a man the right to defend himself as man sees fit, to do so. The amazing thing is not one of these legislators would have the balls to knock on one’s door to do the taking away of any weapons, they depend on goons to do the work of their evil and treason.
It’s time to put a band on nasty ugly shit for brains people like Nancy
Who’s that nasty bitch behind the wooden speakers platform she looks like Lord voldemort’s mom
I will not obey a law from a group that has no problem killing babies!
Every one of these proposals violates my 2nd Amendment rights as a law-abiding American citizen.
I believe I have read a saying about doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. There was some correlation to it being insanity however if you throw enough crap against a wall maybe something will stick? Actually if you go a step further the Demoncrats like full auto weapons because they just machine gun you with anti gun legislation constantly. So again you have spray and pray. Maybe there needs to be a rule that new bills with the same language directed with the same intent can not be constantly reintroduced within a defined period of time?
US Constitution RIP.
I believe House Republicans voted to repeal ACA (Obamacare) over 70 times so apparently there’s enough insanity to go around.
They will bring forward to most unrealistic legislation. The senate won’t pass it and come election time all you will hear is “Republican’s against COMMON SENSE gun control.”
Same shit, different day!
Looks like it’s time to start buying in bulk again… Democraps are the best gun sellers on the planet.
It just blows my mind how the Democrats want to control your life.
These dems are just making noise and trying to rile folks up. They know they have no chance of passing this into law. Sure it might pass the house, but will not make it to through the senate. If by some freak chance it does im pretty sure trump will veto it. If not i guess its off to war again as if my last 24 years in the military were not enough. Keep your heads high.
DEMOCRATS,SMART FROM THE NECK DOWN.
Yet, the greatest number of deaths in our country…the greatest holocaust of our time…occurs thousands of times a day in our country, killing defenseless babies who are safe & not hurting anyone, in their mommy’s tummies…not adults who have a chance of defending themselves. The gravity of the irony is unmistakable, when the “left” decries “morality”, yet raging against thing things of God every other second. They need to be forced to state, clearly, from where do they import their moral code. Because if God doesn’t exist, as they purport, nothing matters & they should have no problem w/ Christ & Christ-followers. Alternately, the silence of “conservatives” & the “second amendment” crowd, not pointing to God for their “pro-life” or “pro-gun” or “pro-family” stances, & leaving Him out of all their positions in the marketplace of ideas…therefore, not being consistent…is deafening. At least the anti-God crowd in New York & elsewhere is consistent in clearly stating their desire to kill babies & continue in their worship in the religion of Darwinian evolutionary theory…& perpetuate their culture of death.
Leftists are death-worshipping, will to power driven sociopaths. As I have head it elsewhere, the main reason that these monsters want normal Americans disarmed is that they plan to do things that would surely otherwise get them shot.
Curious, how so many people cry about government intrusion in their lives when it’s something they disagree with; but are perfectly happy to have that same intrusion into other people’s lives for something they do believe in. You can’t have it both ways. I’d also ask you to actually read your bible regarding what God wants. I don’t believe he ever said anything about abortion being evil, and in fact, there are quite a few old testament passages where he calls for the death of/kills pregnant women, children, fetuses, etc.
Logic and facts, they are annoying aren’t they?
To show the Book chapter and verse would help make your point.
Scripture also tells us that We choose leaders after our own hearts.
And we haven’t had a Godly leader in many many years and for that reason we deserve everything that’s happening to us. It’s the way the Almighty Creator uses “his enemies” to punishes us.
Most gun owners coward to government and would never use their guns when needed it’s just a egotistical conformist slave type mentality, to feel masculine and would never turn their firearms on their true enemy, so why have them?
Thou shalt not kill?
I believe The commandment not to kill (murder) would include abortion. Death to all in the old covenant was to rid the earth of particular evil bloodlines. Some apparently lived and are today’s muslims.
I’m just glad my rifles identify as Bolt action and handguns as flintlock so I don’t have to worry about this B S.
Stupid treasonous Democrats will never get the bill past the Senate or Trump.Instead of wasting time and money on useless legislation they should direct their efforts to real time problems here at home such as voter fraud,illegal aliens,medicare theft,homeless veterans,on and on
Granted but we may be two short years from this awful trash becoming reality.
I continuously read about someone somewhere trying to enact some new gun legislation. From what I can see, this onslaught will never stop. As gun owners, that means we can never stop standing up to oppose it. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing” – so what can we do? I am always confused as to the most effective method for opposing legislation of this sort. “Writing your representative” never feels effective, as you almost never get any feedback, and my representative is outnumbered in the house anyway. There needs to be a simple, effective way for the silent majority to outweigh the incessant cries of the obnoxious minority. Does anyone have ideas on what to do? We need to organize and get it done as opposed to complaining about it in blogs and comments.
Our votes dont count, our “representatives” dont give 2 shits about anything but themselves.
The time has come and gone for negotiations. Ive come to realize if Im always on the losing side then am I even being given a choice? Im being imposed upon. More rules, more taxes, more, more, more… its never enough, and thats why Americans cant make any headway anymore.
We need a coup, or a civil war. And here in Wa State… Im surrounded now by liberal weirdo, and illegals, by the 10s of thousands… as far as Im concerned drop an A bomb.
You always have a choice. You can opt out – go live somewhere else.. Crying about being outnumbered by liberals in Washington state is like crying about in San Francisco.
Then the next best thing is go directly to your legislator but this still does no good. People have went day after day to confront legislators and was told to set up a meeting in writing. You then sign a book right there in the office just to comeback and asked to do the same thing the next day.
Then after over a week of doing this day after day then wait over a month to still not get a meeting.
Then you get a group of people together to go confront them just to be told all over again by there secretaries to resign the same book again to try and get a new meeting and still after 3 months and never get a meeting period.
Just like what happened when over 30 people tried to meet with Nancy Pelosi about how she is all for illegal immigrants and not for American Citizens.
All these people went there with a picture of a Loved one that had came here to America illegally and had killed the loved one.
And in 29 of the 30 people that were killed one did actual illegal did jail time 45 days in jail then sent back to there country just to sneak back into the USA and get sent back over 5 different times.
So in reality it does no good to try to write or go directly to these non law abiding idiots.
And who can a individual or group of people go to to have these law breaking non believers of there oath breaking and constitution breaking arrested.
No one has the balls to listen to a law abiding citizen to arrest any of the hypocrites
NFA is Unconstitutional. Everyone knows it and it has never been properly challenged. A challenge to it is now before the Supreme Court, mostly challenging Supressors. The challenge is being brought by the Gun Owners of America. All the bills mentioned above are also Unconstitutional. The Socialists will pass whatever they can get away with to erode our rights, all the while claiming the moral high ground, while in reality only seeking power and plunder of the American People. Please contribute to any group that challenges them in the courts. This is where they are most successful, and the only true way to defeat them. Forget donating to any Political party.
I started a weekly podcast that talks about all things political. In a few weeks I will be talking about our second amendment and why I believe it is really under attack. https://www.bitchute.com/video/DqhUoHDm0YEl/
Every single one of these would-be potentate (dictators) communists should immediately be indicted, arrested, tried, convicted and HUNG for their treason. They raise their right hands, swear an oath to UPHOLD AND DEFEND the CONSTITUTION for these united States and IMMEDIATELY do their best to subvert and undermine the Constitution at every turn. You can call them Progressives, Democrats, Socialists, Democratic Socialists, or whatever. What it boils down to is they are USEFUL IDIOT SHILL C-O-M-M-U-N-I-S-T-S. Remember, we the founding fathers expounded upon your GOD-GIVEN, UNALIENABLE, INHERENT and NATURAL Rights so that it would be crystal clear, to even the most dense-minded moron, that these rights are PRECEDENT of any government, and that they are HANDS-OFF to any government and it’s minions. The 2nd Amendment is the LIBERTY TEETH for all other amendments. “From time to time the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots.” I feel the tree of liberty is getting very close to needing a good watering.
HERE, HERE !!!
Ugh, get your facts right Thomas Jefferson. You and your buddies wrote the procedure for repealing an amendment into the constitution. It can be done if proposed by 2/3 of the house and senate or a constitutional convention where it’s ratified by 3/4 of the states.
That’s how we got the 18th amendment (prohibition) and also how it was repealed.
The 2nd amendment will probably never be repealed but your bs is preaching to the choir. We can’t rely on saying it’s inalienable and hoping for the best. We must be ever vigilant and continue to engage in politics. You can’t opt out of politics. You either play or you get played.
In 2014 in Ukraine, dictator Yanukovych, a puppet of a communist and terrorist Putin captured most of the seats in Parliament and adopted dictatorial laws, including prohibiting weapons and any parts of it. After that, the communists captured three states and killed thousands of unarmed people. The police gave their weapons to the terrorists of Putin. American accomplices of terrorists want to seize America, take it from the Americans. Never vote for Democrats, they are enemies of Americans!
So the dem platform is to release convicted felons from prison early, allow illegal immigration, legalize drugs and, oh ya, restrict gun ownership to law abiding citizens denying them the right to defend themselves against the scourge they create? Wow…
Scary, isn\’t it? That Coast Guard officer who had a hit-list of Progressive-Socialists identified the entrenched subversives. While his plan was extreme and I don\’t endorse it, it does bring attention to the problem.
So, a Rem 750 with a 4-rnd detachable box magazine would require NFA registration under this proposal?
These imbeciles do not know Anything about firearms.
\”(any gun)…with a military-style feature..\”
That means virtually Every rifle that has a sling, or sights of any type!
Their ideas are not only un-Constitutional, they are plainly stupid and will do Nothing to stop criminal behavior. It\’s just political grandstanding for the masses with a much deeper, darker goal.
This law would possibly ban all rifles in Cali since they do not let u buy NFA items…
Aren’t these elected officials sworn to PROTECT the constitution of the United States? This kind of gun control was tried before and the Supreme Court struck it down because it was unconstitutional…..these Democrats should be hung for treason!
What don’t the Democrats get with the words God given RIGHTS!
Dems don’t believe in God, so don’t respect God-given, natural rights. They also lack wisdom, a prerequisite to being a good public servant.
Because they don’t believe in God outside of thinking They Are Gods.
No such words exist in the Constitution, which they point out correctly.
The Constitution makes clear these are ‘Natural’ rights, of ALL humankind.
Which the Democrats ignore, when appropriate to their ends and means.
As an agnostic, I respect the religion of others, but I don’t want it in our laws (other than the protection of it’s free worship) nor in our Governmental systems.
Well said
Where are you getting your information about rifle caliber pistols?? I dont see it anywhere on the internet. You can get rifles in all handgun calibers so I guess that all handguns therefore shoot rifle calibers…including .22lr
There are AR 15 pistols that are in many rifle calibers. Also Tomson Center has lots of single shot pistols in rifle calibers.
With the advent of “pistol braces”, lots of rifle platforms can be converted to pistols and effectively employed with the pistol brace. A 7.62×39 with a 12 inch barrel makes a crappy pistol. Throw on a pistol brace, though, and it’s now an effective firearm.
They’re very popular now and gaining in popularity . . . and rightfully so.
It’s too bad they don’t put half the amount of energy into going after felons, enforcing the current laws and doing the job they were hired to do rather than protecting the criminals so called rights. Slap on the wrist for crimes, if any punishment at all. Plea bargaining down, early release for felons, only to re-enter the crime market. One doesn’t have to look far, examples are in this news letter, on how the law abiding citizens use firearms responsibly. To the democraps, it doesn’t matter. They won’t stop their agenda until the second amendment is totally gone and just exists in history books. Then what will they go after?
Guys, remember these are democraps…what is good for them doesn’t apply to us. You can dam well be sure their body guards will be armed to the max, whereas you and I, well, it doesn’t matter to them. Being attacked, well sit down and pray uniti help arrives…..
Just flat out disgusting ………
This baloney is why you as a gun owner should never vote for Democrats!!!! NEVER!!! So glad we have a republican senate and a pro gun POTUS
A Pro-Gun POTUS?? One who endorsed RedFlag laws??, one who BANNED BumpStocks by Executive Order?? One who stated he wants to take the guns first, worry about Due Process second??, One who appoints William Barr, an avid anti-gun RINO to Attorney General?? THAT POSPOTUS????
Is that you hillary?😊
F’n hysterical…
BS! The Republicans are as much political whores as are the Progressive-Socialists!
Gov. Rick Scott(R-FL) signed knee-jerk laws in the wake of the Parkland shooting just 3 weeks
after the event! He was campaigning for U.S. Senator at the time.The ONLY politicians in DC that have a shred of decency are members of the Freedom Caucus. Period.
Yep
This has nothing to do with safety and all to do with American Communists trying to repeal the Second Amendment and seize our firearms. America will not be safe until it’s rid of commies like Schumer, Feinstein, Sanders, at al. Notice any common threads?
The Democrats in Congress know full well that their proposed laws have no application to criminals, but disarm only the law-abiding. That is their intent, not crime control. We (so far) law-abiding gun owners are the only deterrent to the Democrat Socialists’ plans to create a socialist dictatorship.
The dim’s main goal is to do away with the 2nd Amendment this way when they control of our weapons they can freely take over this country. BUT THEY ARE DEAD WRONG
I will not abide by any law that inhibits my right to keep and bear arms. I WILL fight any power that tries to take that right from me. The Democrats do not speak for the entirety of the nation. My magazine WILL NOT be limited. My rifle will remain a semi automatic assault style weapon.
“My rifle will remain a semi automatic assault style weapon”…you’ve already been brainwashed and you don’t even know it. Better to remain silent and suspected a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt.
“We need to get these communist activists off of our streets and we need to do it now.”
Excellent! I always laugh at that \”off our streets\” BS. That implies they want to eliminate street crime, but the truth is that their anti-gun proposals go after the guns in peoples\’ Homes.
When they ban all of our weapons this should also pertain to all of their personal protectors and bodyguards as well. What’s fair for one should be fair for all.
The second amendment was put in place for a purpose. No-one can keep a crazy person from killing someone whatever tool they use.
How hard is it for the Democratic Party to understand that these laws only hurt the law abiding citizens not the criminals. We will abide by them and the criminals won’t !
They understand it, they are the criminals… Most of the criminal element leans Democrat. They aren’t trying to disarm their side, they are trying to disarm our side!
They don’t care about “understanding” or logic….progressivism is all about control
The time for talk is over. These wealthy elites want to keep their boot on your neck. Civilian disarmament is always about preventing a revolt.
It’s time to take a page from the history of our nation’s first ally and visit The Terror on these oppressors.
There are only two things a man truly owns: his freedom and his life. Lose the first and the second is meaningless. Protect the first with the second and others will not let your sacrifice be in vain.
Have any of these morons heard of BOMBS and IED’s, hell I am amazed they have not been used already! No grandstanding by politicians and non-sense is going to stop these attacks, the only thing it’s going to do is further limit our freedoms and restrict our rights! We have seen attacks in Europe where they have used trucks and other methods to commit heinous acts!
COWABUNGA IT IS!
The hypocrisy is sickening! Common sense Congress lost that many years ago!
They can introduce and prpose all they want to but if it doesn’t pass senate it wont make it to the PotUS. The representatives dont have that much power to weild thank God.
They can pass Any kind of \”law\” they want. But, when do you stand-up and say \”NO?\”
NY passed a \”law\” legalizing the murder of babies after birth. Other states are considering
the same. It\’s time to say NO!
Totalitarian disarmament schemes? It\’s time to say NO!
So what if it passes the house. It won’t pass the Senate. The president will Beto it. And they still have to deal with the supreme court
The idea that the Right to Bear Arms is not unlimited may have basis and limits the arms available to civilians to the Small Arms category or Arms that can be carried by one man.
But to limit legal small arms as the communists have proposed is a complete violation of the Second Amendment limitations placed upon the government. At minimum civilians must have the right to possess small arms of the same type and capacity as federal soldiers carry. That means full auto small arms also.
Considering that the Second Amendment was put in effect to give the citizens of the US Republic the Arms needed to defeat and change a government no longer for, of, and by the people then all gun control laws and future legislation banning small arms are illegal. Yes illegal.
The founders insured the people would have the arms necessary to fight a government of Tyranny and prevented said government from banning and taking the small arms of the people.
Will the Second Amendment right to bear arms be tested in the Supreme Court or on the battlefields, in the cities, and in our neighborhoods ? My guess is it will not be decided in the Supreme Court.
Most of the artillery pieces used in the Revolutionary War were privately owned.
Thank you! Finally someone read the 2A and actually understood it. I 100% agree that it was written in a way to allow us the availability of the same firearms our government military uses and it was intended to do so for a purpose. That purpose being to allow the free people of America to fight against a tyrant government. I believe that time is coming soon.
If you removed the 2nd today, it would have no effect on the Law of the Land since our rights come from a higher source than government; our humanity.
The issue is not a 2nd. The 2nd is just a very small part of the Duty to Keep and Bear Arms. Article 1, § 8, Cls. 15 & 16 recognize the existing State statutes defining the mandatory Militia, its structure and authority. Note that Militia is the only constitutionally recognized authority “to execute the Laws of the Union”.
The problem we face is years of misinformation, and lack of education. The supposed pro-2nd community refuses to educate themselves as to the law concerning this subject. No matter how you explain it, or parse it the pro-2nd community will insist that militia is now the National Guard, or the State is ultimately in complete control, or it is some voluntary group, or it is some fictitious unorganized group, or any other excuse so that no one will actually participate or train in accordance with “the discipline prescribed by Congress”.
Jaque believes it will be decided on the battlefields of our cities. How will that happen if we did nothing for the last ban, or nothing is being done for the States that are falling one by one?
Who of you are willing to go out into the streets with no training or coordination? How long do you think you will last? Are you going to step out and just start shooting?
The answer is to start fighting the proper legal battle so that the legislatures across the country know that we really mean business, and if they fail to recognize, and revitalize the Constitutional Militia, we will do so.
Even though this will go nowhere, it needs to be vigorously challenged, they need to be constantly reminded that we won’t stand for it.
When the next tragedy occurs, these need to be dead and radioactive.
I’d feel much, much better if the socialists were “dead and radioactive” before they could find any way (however illegal, unconstitutional, unethical, or immoral that “way” would be) to actually implement their insanity.
