The bill’s primary sponsor in the Senate, Bob Menendez of New Jersey. Menendez is the poster boy for morality. Having once been indicted by Obama’s DOJ for corruption, the good senator has also been accused of having intercourse with underage sex workers and not paying his tab when fornicating with adult prostitutes.

Democrats in the U.S. Congress have re-introduced legislation that would ban Americans from importing, selling, manufacturing, transferring, or possessing all magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition.
The “Keep Americans Safe Act” would allow those who already own standard capacity magazines to keep them, and it would not apply to tubular, .22-caliber magazines.
But it would ban the transfer of outlawed magazines and, over time, eliminate most standard-capacity mags for mid-and-full-sized semi-automatic handguns as well as the most popular mags for semi-automatic rifles.
The bill’s lead sponsors, Rep. Ted Deutch of Florida and Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, held a press conference on Tuesday announcing the legislation. The anti-gun lobby and their supporters in the media were, as usual, firing strange and misleading comments vis a vis fully semi-automatic.
“Guns become doubly and triply deadly in these massacres because of these high-capacity magazines,” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal, another of the bill’s sponsors. “And so if we take one simple step in approving this prohibition, we can literally save lives. There is no more simple, straightforward way to save lives from gun violence than to ban these high-capacity magazines.”

“The fact is that these high-capacity magazines allow someone to fire off more than 10 rounds in a row,” Rep. Ted Deutch added, helpfully. “You don’t need that if you’re a hunter, you don’t need that for any purpose. You don’t need that for sporting purposes.”
Manny Oliver, who tragically lost his son in the Parkland massacre, couldn’t provide much clarification.
“Have you realized how simple this is to approve? We’re just reducing the amount of ammunition on a gun that you can still carry with less ammunition inside. Is that so hard to understand?” he said.
“We’re not asking, we’re not begging,” Oliver said. “We demand.”
The legislation has yet to receive support from a single Republican lawmaker in the House or Senate. The National Rifle Association also voiced their opposition to the bill.

“This legislation would effectively ban the most commonly owned firearms for self-defense,” said NRA spokeswoman Jennifer Baker. “It is an arbitrary limit pulled out of thin air with no evidence that the limits would improve public safety. In fact the after report from the deadliest school shooting in American history states that magazine limits would have had no impact. This is just more nonsense from anti-gun zealots who are looking to score political points by proposing legislation that would make criminals out of law-abiding citizens exercising their constitutional right to self-defense while doing nothing to deter criminals from committing crimes.”
While the legislation is unlikely to be considered in the Senate, it has secured endorsements from at least five Democratic presidential candidates, including Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Cory Booker of New Jersey, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Kamala Harris of California and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York.
I am only opposed to this because my customers south of the border have no interest in “any stinking laws”. I would not want to alienate (lol) my operations with them.
The Dems have short memories. The last time they did this they fell on their political swords. If this goes through Aunt Nancy only has 22 months as speaker.
The Dems must explain how their proposal does not “INFRINGE” (defined in dictionary as restrict or limit) on our rights to keep and bear arms. Obviously they can’t justify as their action clearly restricts and limits; therefore, their proposal is NOT Constitutional. WE, the People, must remember, WE are in charge via the Constitution; not lawmakers.
Recall that at the dawn of the 0bama era, the nation entered its ‘post-constitutional’ phase. (Five more years of Trump followed by eight years of Don Jr. might restore it.)
Obviously the Dumacrats chose this 10 round capacity cause they can’t count any higher than that. My Taurus 99 is 15 standard. No “high capacity “here! As FG said ,stupid is as stupid does! Seriously, when are the treason trials of government officials going to start anyway? They have broken their Oath of Office so many times, it shouldn’t take long to convict all of the FASCISTS! They coddle everyone but the law abiding taxpayers, who they consider the “problem “with America. Trump should declare a NATIONAL EMERGENCY to get rid of the unconstitutional overreach of all gun laws on the law abiding citizens of the United States! For those of you who don’t know, Fascism, the National Socialist Party, (NAZI’S) COMMUNISUM, and the modern DEMOCRACTIC party, are all LEFTISTS, TERRANICAL,OPPRESSIVE, DO AS I SAY, OR WE WILL DESTROY YOU! You’re views will not be tolerated, but mocked and vilified by them. If they don’t like it here, they should leave! That’s what they said they were going to do, wasn’t it? What a bunch of prevericater’s!(liars to all of you in Youra Limba (misspelled?)
There is no practical,logical purpose for 30 rd mags except for range fun while standing or kneeling.. a little awkward when shooting from bench..there’s not much practical purpose for silencers either ..most us us have been using ear protection for decades…works just fine…anyway what you gonna do ..make everyone that comes to the range have a silencer.?because it’s only gonna matter if EVERYONE has one…just like bump stocks..no real practical or logical reason to have one except what ? To get goofy at the range? Or just because you can?Beacuse in all honesty those provisions technically there not provisions granted under our constitution that you knuckleheads say you trust and love..the 2nd amendment provides the right to bear arms….no details after that chumps..so if gun nuts are in the minority..well boys..suck it up that’s the way a democracy works…Bump stockers,high capacity maggers and silencers are outnumbered and in the minority in the USA..that’s the reality of the situation…most mass shooters legally purchased these so yes this law would have made a difference 40 years ago,just like assaualt weapon ban of 94…..we didn’t have as many mass shootings until bush rescinded the law in 04..the majority of huge mass shootings have happened since then by usually mid aged white males that were technically legal..but only because of a flawed system and laws..or should I also say non laws.. that could have made a difference overall..but no one wants to admit the truth…so instead it’s been an arms race..now we all get to look over our shoulder for the next nut job to smoke someone..thanks everyone for your logic and expertise..lol
What part of “shall not be infringed.” is so hard to understand? Those are the last 4 words of the second amendment.
Why 30 rounds? If police hit rates are as low as 17%, how accurate will the average person defending their home, family and/or property be? I want all of the capacity I can get to insure I will be able to do that.
Silencer? You’ve been watching too many Don Corleon movies and, I’d guess, never been out really shooting. A suppressor goes a long way in preventing hearing issues for many shooters. What is your beef with them?
Selection bias is one of the most difficult things for researchers to fight. People tend to see information they agree with and ignore information they disagree with.
WE, the People, do NOT have to justify why we “need” something. But, the Government MUST prove that whatever law they pass does not violate the Constitution; which btw, retains all rights to the people unless we specifically abrogate those to the Government. It is NOT the other way around.
Hoplophobia runs rampant in your post. No evidence that the gun ban of 1994 had any positive effects on mass shootings or any other type of shootings for that matter. President Bush did not rescind the law in 2004 (you might wish to do some studying – the President is not allowed to write or rescind laws, that is up to Congress). The law, when signed, had a ten year limit on it and simply ran out. In truth most of the mass shootings have been by teenagers or young adults – most of them either taking or just coming off of prescribed psychotropic medications.
You know what i mean .. left to expire… not rescind… the point is … theres mothing in the mf constitution that says anything about , bump stocks, high capacity mags or and silencers… nothing zero.. so bottom line is.. we can have firearms… nothing else. Period.. im a gun nut but smart enough to realize the reality…. i carry every mf day so noone is rollin me or taking my shit .. so quit your crying and deal with the truth.. go talk to the dead innocent mfs why dont you.. its not about punishing the law abiding.. .. its about the ease of idiots getting something so destructive so easily.. most of you mfs dont have the decision making ability it takes anyway by reading you unlogical comments so gfy wimps
With tens of millions of magazines out there in private hands (possibly over a hundred million) that hold eleven and more rounds of ammunition I do not see how they can possibly ban standard capacity magazines especially now with three dimensional printers that can just print and make more. (They also have 80% AR-15 lower receivers that people can make private guns out of.) They might make them illegal federally but there will be no way to enforce it short of a full scale war on the American people.
If anyone thinks they will stop at banning just the semi automatic rifles over ten rounds they are fooling themselves. California is in the process of trying to ban all privately owned semi automatic rifles.
Please relinquish all your weapons you are not safe to have them …
Wow spoken like a true anti gun don’t know what I’m doing congressman. You come on out and go hunting where I live with all the “endangered” grizzlies that come charging up as you try to provide food for your family. No add on to that the wolves that all you fuckers in New York and California just had to have brought back into an ecosystem that they were eliminated from for a reason I might add. And they are running around in packs of 30 plus and then you want to tell me I should be happy to have 10 shells or less to defend my family against this. I guess it’s easy for somebody who lives behind closed and locked doors in a city to bitch about this kind of stuff that doesn’t affect them at all. Well done. I really appreciate the tax dollars I donate to the government so they can turn around and use it against me. You guys need to grow up and teach people that people kill people not the guns fault that stupidity is running rampant in today’s scociety. It’s embareasing to see what this world is coming to.
yes there were mass shootings before the “Assault Weapon” ban expired and why dont you look and see how few times a rifle has been used compared to a handgun in these shootings. What has changed about these shootings is the 24hour news cycle where the killer becomes infamous and the next one sees it as a new high score to try for. seems like the media has blood on its hands. Another factor is almost every shooter has been pumped with SSRI drugs that have serious side effects. the last factor is the shootings always occur in a gun free zone AKA defenseless target zone. last point is most of the mass shootings with rifles were not done by white men its almost a 50/50 split and parkland shooter only used 10round mags. so basically you have nothing but antigun talking points in your post that dont stand up to facts.
The 2nd Amendment is not about having fun at the range or sporting purposes like hunting. It’s for a Government gone crazy (read Unconstitutional) like we have now. If they keep changing the narrative to suit their wants and needs, they will find out soon enough.
Using your logic, Let’s outlaw any vehicle that has more than 50 HP and all vehicles that are capable of traveling more than 65 mph. Think of how many lives we could save by getting vehicle that exceed these numbers off the streets. Oops, maybe I shouldn’t suggest this, the libtards might actually propose laws to do just that.
Why is it ever time I see a moronic post it’s written by you ?
You’re clearly an imbecile who should STFU and go back to kneeling and bobbing if you catch my drift.
This is a great idea!!!! All the criminals that use guns to kill people will only be limited to 10 round mags, so that when they go to reload, so brave soul can tackle them and save the day. Wait a minute……….. criminals probably don’t care about a law that would ban +10 round mags. I’m not the fastest at a tactical reload, then again, I’m not the slowest either. If I was engaging a bad guy at 10 paces, and had to do a tactical reload, I doubt very seriously, unless that person is the Flash or Superman, that they could cover those 10 paces before I finished my tactical reload. This law only hurts law abiding citizens. Criminals will still keep their 30 round mags and laugh at everybody with their sucky 10 round mags. Hopefully these criminals will be ones that don’t do range shooting on a regular. Practice with a 10 round mag trumps spray and pray with a 30 round mag every time. I wonder if the armed security for these politicians will be limited to 10 round mags. What about the armed security at their kid’s school, even though many yell, “No guns in schools” ? I’m out.
Here we go again with a stupid magazine ban. Really… how about bringing back the electric chair and shorting the time frame for the death penalty to two years.
If a person is willing to shoot a bunch of unarmed kids in a school what makes these legislators think that shooter will pay any attention to their 10 round magazine law? The only effect will be on innocent, law-abiding citizens. Once again they will be expected to pay the price to allow the do-gooders to feel like they did something.
Sure Democrats, It sounds like a great idea, but demonstrate good faith by disarming every criminal and gang in the country before you look to infringe upon TAX PAYING LAW ABIDING CITIZENS.
“BINGO! “
Would this also apply to their personal bodyguards, or is that still “different” because it would actually effect them? San Francisco actually had a Councilman suggest DISARMING the Police for “public safety”. It didn’t go over well, especially with the Police Union, I’m sure. They probably told him good luck finding anyone to be a Police Officer in SF if that happened. Not to sound racist, but why is it when a White career criminal is shot and killed, the White community says “Good Riddance” and when the Black career criminal gets shot, it’s a protest against the Police and Black Lives Matter (Do you notice Black Lives Matter ONLY when a White cop shoots a Black criminal? They kill each other thousands of times a year across the U.S., but that’s OK?) block freeways? In Sonora, CA, a White woman apologized after her son was killed in a running shootout, after he had “caused all this trouble” and wounded an innocent woman bystander. A little different response than we see on the news, right?
Aaaand… this will solve what problem again?
I think they think if they repeat a lie loud enough, often enough (thank you most MSM), people will believe it. Problem is, there are a lot of people too lazy to fact check – especially where those who want to control guns are concerned.
There they go thinking again ?!! Opening their big trash trap about everything they know nothing about?!! Experts, Law Enforcement Officers, Military Combat Trained Personel have all stated that reduction in magazine capacity will never be any safer than standard capacity magazines ?! The Treasonous Government always uses propaganda, lies never the truth, to fool the weak minded sheep that follow and trust them ?!!! Hate to see the day when the Government tells these sheep to rollover and die ?! The Government already controls them enough through birth to death ?!
“PEOPLE” wakeup take control of your birth “Rights” !!!!!!!!!
As soon as the Secret Service, all politician’s security details, all law enforcement officers, and all federal employees (including the SWAT teams the FBI uses to conduct pre-dawn raids on Trump supporters) all start using 10-round or fewer magazines, then I might take their proposals seriously.
Besides just being just another Dumbocrat SA PoS “gun control” measure,
S-1945 (115th Congress) at least doesn’t violate Ex Post Facto constitutional prohibitions, i.e.
“(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to the possession of any large capacity ammunition feeding device otherwise lawfully possessed on or before the date of enactment of the Keep Americans Safe Act.
The text of S-447 “A bill to regulate large capacity ammunition feeding devices.” (116th Congress) has not been submitted to date.
Insanity is repeatedly doing the same thing and expecting a different result.
More stupidity. First a fake state of emergency to circumvent congress, then stupid legislation. Just goes to show stupidity isn’t just for the left or the right. This is what happens when you don’t read the Constitution.
I’m guessing you don’t live anywhere near the border. Hence no state of emergency for you!
And once Democrats have taken this one “little step” in 2019 they can take a few more liberal steps in 2020. And by 2030 we won’t have a 2nd amendment right.
Do they not realize it takes 3 seconds to eject a ten round mag and load another 10 round mag? How is this going to make a real impact on school shootings?
Nobody on the right wants school shootings to happen. But school violence won’t change because of another law.
If someone is going to commit a crime or shoot up a school or a theatre, they will use whatever magazines they can get a hold of……10….20…….30……..50……..doesn’t matter to them.
I read somewhere, but did not check it out so it may be false, that the Parkland School shooter was only using a 5 round mag? What difference does magazine size make when the police run away from the gun fire?
Jerry enacting this would not prevent one crime anywhere get some common sense.
Common sense is no longer common, it’s the exception 🙄
Part of the reason there is a Second Amendment is to keep the Citizenry safe from Politicians and inside political groups bent on taking the Power of the People so they can seize unlimited power.
GUN VIRGIN COMMENTS MADE BY THESE ANTI-GUN NUTS HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING MADE, READ, OR HEARD! THERE ARE MANY REASONS WHY I NEED MORE THAN 10 RD MAGAZINES. FIRST SELF-DEFENSE. DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO BE ATTACKED, BY WHO, AND HOW MANY? ARE THEY ARMED? CAN YOU SEE TO SHOOT THEM OR ARE YOU SHOOTING BLIND?
SECOND WHEN ONE IS TARGET SHOOTING, RELOADING TAKES TIME AND WASTED TIME IS A BAD THING!
THIRDLY, WHEN WAS THE FIRST AND LAST TIME THAT ONE OF THESE GUN VIRGINS ACTUALLY WENT HUNTING? DO THEY KNOW WHAT TYPE OF GUN IS USED FOR ONES QUARRY? DO THEY KNOW THE CONDITIONS THAT THE HUNT IS BEING DONE IN?
HIGHER CAPACITY MAGAZINES LAST LONGER, STORE BETTER, AND JAM LESS THAN LOW CAPACITY MAGS SO IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE!
John T Fox…Good thing you aren’t the spokesman for the NAR, or the GOA, because that is the dumbest reasoning I have ever heard for opposing the ban on “standard capacity” magazines I have ever heard in my life!! Adds weight to the old saying “when you believe someone is stupid, all you have to do is wait for them to open their mouth, and it will take away all doubts to their stupidity”.
These sort of laws are why America has a 2 nd amendment.
Saw this one the other day:
To protect safe drivers from being killed by drunk drivers, make it against the law for safe drivers to drive. That works for gun control doesn’t it?
California tried to limit magazine capacity to 10 rounds and a Federal Judge declared it was found to be Unconstitutional. And another Federal Judge found NY”s Safe Act seven round capacity law to be Unconstitutional. And implied by law that they allow ten rounds in a ten round magazine. So what would make it nationally Constitutional now ?
Colorado already passed the magazine limit law years ago and it is still in effect there. That’s why magpul moves their factories to Wyoming. So don’t take anything for granted that it won’t pass. They are legalizing marijuana so what does that have to say for the people in charge of some of the powers around this country
– Glaring Inconvenient Truth –
THE PARKLAND SHOOTER USED 10-ROUND MAGS!!!
*Mic Drop*
That is exactly right. He couldn’t fit bigger ones in his bag, so he went with a bunch of ten round mags. Since the deputies hide outside, he had lots of time to change mags.
So if I have mags over 10 for a Ruger Precision Rimfire (bolt) they want to outlaw those. If I have mags over 10 rounds for my large caliber bolt guns they want to outlaw them. I am a law-abiding citizen – so they want to INFRINGE on my constitutional rights.
If law-abiding citizens don’t need magazines that hold more than 10 rounds neither do the police or the politicians bodyguards. No exemptions PERIOD!
Wait for the howling to begin from the cops when THEIR Constitutional rights are forfeited! And the Democratic/communist agenda continues to creep forward in this country!
Totally agreed. To be fair, most LEOs don’t support magazine limits but there are some.
Even if LEOs were not exempt, one problem becomes, who watches the watchmen? If Joe Citizen sees an officer with a post-ban magazine, does he then need to enact a citizen’s arrest of the officer? How is that going to work out?
A pro rights folks need to stop using the term “high capacity” when referring to magazines greater than 10 rounds. A standard capacity magazine is a magazine that holds the number of rounds that the firearm was designed to hold. A pistol that is designed to accept a magazine that holds 15 rounds, even though 10 round magazines may be available for it, has a standard 15-round capacity magazine, not a high capacity magazine. A 10-round magazine in such a firearm is a “reduced capacity” or “low capacity” magazine.
I prefer the term “Restricted Capacity Magazine” for those that are regulated!!!
Just read in the paper(The Dallas Morning News 02-14-2019) that 40,000 people have been killed in auto accidents. On the same page of the newspaper it reported 40,000 people were killed by guns. I would like to suggest that the government pass a law that make auto makers produce cars that can only go 25 miles per hour in order to reduce deaths by autos.
Love it, reduce the speed of those pesky trucks, too!! And if there are still deaths, restrict top speed to 10mph. If that don’t work, bring back horses and buggies!!! Make America 18th Century Again!!!! And, Horses are GREEN, at least the contents of their Road Apples is!!!!!!
Naw, they would just outlaw horses because of the horse farts.
The founders would be appalled at the Democrats’ 2A overreach especially the irrational emotive thinking behind it. However, they would also be appalled at the standing army and civil police forces the Republicans have amassed. Look at Venezuela, that fool would be in a spider hole but for his cops and soldiers.
The founders wanted weapons parity with whatever forces were likely to threaten freedom of the sovereign, the US citizen. That citizen has become fat, and ignorant, and physically and intellectually lazy, but still worthy of access to a weapon to defend his liberty against an increasing police state that will only serve a despot.
President Trump said in the SOTU address, ” THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER BECOME A SOCIALIST COUNTRY.” These 5 Republicans are siding with the Democrats in their gun control efforts. !. Rep. Fred Upton R-MI, DC# 202-225-3761 Dofc- 269-385-0039, # 2. Rep. Peter King R-NY DC- 202-225-7896 Dofc- 516-541-4225, #3. Rep. Christopher H. Smith R-NJ DO 202-225-3765 DO- 609-585-7878 # 4 Rep. Michael G Fitzpatrick R-PA DO 202-2254276 Dofc 215-579-8102 # 5 Rep. Brian Mast R-FLA DC # 202-225-3026 Dofc- 772-336-2877. Thomas Jefferson said ” THE SECOND AMENDMENT WON’T BE NEEDED UNTIL THEY COME FOR IT.” To see some of these Democrats and Republicans continually push for ” CONTROL.” of the law abiding citizens of America, and not to put their effort towards the criminal is mindboggeling.
Absolutely great info call all their offices and demand them to stand by their sworn oath of office to uphold the constitution of the United states of America …drawn the friggin swamp of these swamp donkeys !!!!!
All you pussies do is cry cry cry…. just like silencers .(which everyone at the range would have to buy one to make a difference.. ). and bump stocks .. what is the real practical purpose other than getting your rocks off at the range? Really ? Get a fuckin brain THEY CANT TAKE YOUR GUNS AWAY . IF YOU DONT LET THEM .. dont be brainwashed ,Dont be a pussy.. grow a set of nuts.
And if suppressors became affordable, and readily available, Ranges COULD require them, in order to keep the Range open, in the interest of reducing Noise Pollution, AND there could be more ranges, closer to “Civilization “
Where in the 2nd Amendment does it mention hunting or sporting purposes? It amazes me that the American people continue to vote for these corrupt assholes.
?
We right wing conservatives need to quit be conservative & tell these commies to shut up or we,ll force them out of here & ship them to Europe , Siberia ,etc
Perhaps they don’t vote for them, perhaps the whole thing is rigged.
WA state’s two biggest counties vote liberal every time. From the graveyards.
I would like them to answer one very simple question, how will this keep Americans safe when the criminals, gang bangers and crazies have no intention of turning their 10+_ round magazines in for confiscation.
Really? Fully Semi-Automatic? And this from a General Officer in the US Army! The AR-15 is NOT the same as the M-4 or M-16 or any other actual military rifle. The AR-15 is NOT capable of fully automatic fire. The limit on the number of rounds in a magazine is also stupid. All a bad guy has to do is carry extra magazines and they will if they even obey this law which they won’t. I and most other trained shooters can swap out a magazine very quickly without hardly skipping a beat BUT, that swapping of mags with follow Murphy’s Law and be at that exact moment when you need that 11th or 12th round to save yourself or someone else. Understand that criminals DO NOT OBEY THE LAWS, that is why they call them criminals. You are harming only the good guys with this stupid law and if passed you will end up having more criminals as some good people will end up with a felony record after being caught with a high capacity magazine.
Too bad the right people won’t see your note. Surely people are really not stupid enough to believe this AR B.S.. The AR is “Fully Semi-Automatic”, “Fully Semi” being the key words. 10+ rnd mags will be around `till hell freezes over. Most people may not use them but they sure’s hell won’t give them up. If I have a criminal shooting at me utilizing a extended mag I want to be able to return fire respectively. Maybe someone will figure out a belt feed for an AR. That’ll be something to whine about. Go Hogg, get to whining.
already have that belt fed AR….M249S
I wouldn’t be too concerned with the general’s comments. Just because you’re a General doesn’t make you smart or even competent. At that level, you’re just a politician in a uniform.
Each time the Dummycrats demand more gun laws they push us a little closer to insurrection. They are emotionally driven, ignorant sheep who hope to further endear themselves to their socialist handlers by carrying water for them. If armed resistance does happen they won’t have the government or local police to protect them and they will lose. Little boy Hogg will be surprised by the turnout of freedom loving Americans of all colors who will be bearing arms. And hey….Bob Menendez……that’s a great comb over! Who are you kidding other than yourself?
I HOPE THE DEMOCRAPS DON’T GET CONTROL OF THE WHITE HOUSE, IF SO THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL WILL BE OUT FOR US & OUR RIGHT TO OWN GUNS
Then we will fight.
“ Unto the REPUBLIC for which it stands”.
Notice that this section of the pledge doesn’t say unto the democracy for which it stands.
Each and every person’s rights are protected by the constitution, and really, not even a majority can leagally take that from us, but we may have to fight to keep our rights. If so, so be it.
MY WIFE & I WOULD BE FIGHTING BESIDE YOU
Im sure right behind the democrats the criminals and gang members will be 1st in line to hand in their mags
I don’t understand how school shootings still happen?
Most schools have been designated as gun free zones so how could there be guns there? It makes no sense.
I wonder if there is a logical conclusion there? If only it was obvious?
Yes, because that and the Assault weapons ban did so much to reduce crime the first time around.
Oh wait, uh, no they didn’t .
Hmm, what was it that Einstein said about doing the same thing over again?????/
Let me get this straight: legal gun ownership is a “crisis” but thousands of illegal aliens and tons of dangerous drugs is not and building a wall to stop it is “immoral”? What a joke. Schumer & pelosi’s brains have either atrophied from lack of use or sre pickled from alcohol.
Mass shootings are extremely rare but drive bys, shooting during a robbery are still pretty common. Very few crimes are committed with legally owned firearms and the people using illegally owned firearms while committing a crime are seldom punished for having and illegal firearm. That needs to change.
So,….the police and security details for these politicians will also have 10 round mags?????
YEAH RIGHT!!!!
I second it
Love to watch democrats shoot themselves in the foot. Trump 2020!
In the foot? I would so much rather see them (all) shooting themselves in the head. The mess could be cleaned up with a Q-Tip!
10 rounds = 1 shot per toe
I will some it all up in a short sentence about gun control and the Democrats real reason for gun restrictions, it’s all about control,
Never any proposals that actually punish the bad guy from committing firearm crimes, just proposals to punish the honest taxpaying citizens.
Oh, and this don’t need these mags, well you don’t need the big house you live in, or that type of car you drive, or . . . .
Than God, it\’s the Bill of Rights … NOT the Bill of Needs!
or little sex slaves to fuck
Fine.
Any new laws(not just for guns) and all existing laws should apply double to anybody drawing a government paycheck and especially to anybody wearing a badge.
If Mundanes have to be content with 10 shots, they can be limited to 5.
See who wants to sign up and be on a security detail at that point.
Too bad that sort of thing wasn’t included as the 11th Amendment in the Bill Of Rights, all laws apply doubly to the Law Makers.
But while I’m dreaming I’d like not just Term Limits, but a lifetime limit in elected office…say 6 years, total, cumulative.
Oh sure, I can hear the howls now, “nobody with experience in government” but I counter with, “we’ve had experienced politicians for well over 100 years and it’s sure gone badly.”
We don’t need experienced liars. We need leaders with integrity. That’s not taught in Washington.
Amen to term limits. Especially cumulative limits.
First it will 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 then,
-1=NONE, their goal is to seize and eliminate, which leads me to their socialist/communist agenda of control.
Poor thinkers come up with poor solutions, this what we have on the left side of the aisle. They want Control of the American population. The lefty/liberal mental disorder leads us to;
Socialism>Communism>Gun Control=Disarmament=Extermination…
“Seemingly Utopian pacifists are free to profess their love of a weapon-free world, but they must start by disarming the evil, criminal and tyrannical. Disarming the public is a vent for their twisted fear and hatred, a grotesque affront to freedom, and unacceptable. Disarming an innocent person is an act of violence.”
Anti-constitutionalism sense of morality is situational, based on incident and emotion, instead of rooted in God’s word and law.
Anti-constitutionalism stands for nothing. The Anti-Constitutionalists’ situation determines their support for an issue and their emotions rule, not reason and rationality.
Moreover, they recognize the contradiction, but still cling to their situational justice. Situational justice is the tool of dictators, tyrants, despots, and unjust, unrighteous monarchs. It has no place in a free constitutional republic. In which the United States of America is……………….
P.S. They are and were Oath takers to protect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights of this Great Republic, they need to be completely held accountable for their acts against their Oath.
So for the mentally deranged and crimimally inclined…..you can only barge into a school or restaurant and be allowed to kill the first 10 people only…..these folks don’t count it seems. (Summary of this new proposed bill as seen by the sponsors).
Do something meaningful and deal with the real problems. Stop creating problems.
Never surrender your hi-capacity mags. The day is coming when we are all going to need them to defend ourselves against our own Government.
“You don’t need that if you’re a hunter, you don’t need that for any purpose. You don’t need that for sporting purposes.” this coming from people who don’t use or even own guns. eliminating invasive wild boar from farmlands is an easy example to shatter these pinhead opinions…and “we demand”? arrogant, pompous birdbrains soon to be dispatched
I think your example of wild boar infestation is an excellent one. Another situation might be if/when coyotes become overpopulated as they do in some areas (and may be rabid — as the wild boar can also be).
I think the anti-“full semi auto” gun lobby is very much against the 20 or 30 round magazines and larger, mostly because, in the USA, we have not had large-scale enemy invasions and most of us have not had to deal with firefights against armed enemy. However, we now have large-scale invasions of people who really have no great love for our country, or seek to overthrow it, and these people are being released “into the wild.”
Some of these people will certainly acquire weapons and some of them may use these weapons. The weapons they acquire may be from the “black market’ and certainly some of the weapons will be 20 round, 30 round, and higher capacity. So, even though we may not have had the need for these weapons very often in the past, we are heading into a time period when these weapons will be more necessary rather than less, and possibly for more difficult adversaries than wild boar, coyotes, etc., and breeding almost as fast.
You dont need your fancy cars that kills more people each year than a firearm or your big house that makes criminals want to rob you. When the government can say you cant have something and controls what you buy or have its no longer a free country. This country was made upon the constitution that protects our rights for you to own a fast and fancy car and your big house as well as our AR15 if we want one.
As Crocket and others have said, the deomcraps go after “soft” targets, I/e law abiding citizens with their new found majority. Pat themselves on the back attitude. Never do we hear lets govern cars to speed limit speed only. Ban “six packs”, only sell two beers at a time. Make all cars have breath-a-lizers (sp,sorry), blow before you drive. I could go on….
It’s too bad they won’t look in a mirror and enforce the laws on the books…quit making jail a short term vacation, plea bargaining down to probation. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see how many felons are released only to commit crimes shortly thereafter.
There is just no fixing or educating stupidity and lack of common sense
Non-Compliance per the Law, The Constitution!
Why don’t these idiots try to do something that will actually benefit the country? It’s pretty easy to do your job when you have only one agenda and it’s all BS!!! Do these fools know how long it takes to change a magazine??
More stupid, pointless, ineffective, feel-good legislation by the Moron Caucus.
That’s just another silly idea from a gun-hating Democrat. My 1911 magazines don’t even hold 10 rounds, so I just bought a lot of them. Are the Democrats next going to tell me I cannot have a lot of magazines. I’d like to see them try and take them.
Just wait until it gets changed to “firearms that can accept a magazine greater than 10 shots”. But yes there have been proposals to limit magazine possession to two, total, at a time.
To the victor goes the spoils of war. Remember that.
WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE PROPOSE A BILL TO LIMIT THE NUMBER OF DEMOCRATS TO 10 OR LESS.
Finally a viable solution.
Below is a comment I sent to my Congressman the last time they proposed Gun Legislation. I feel the same about magazines. Any attempts to pass legislation concerning gun control, or limitations on how many rounds magazines for my weapons can hold fall into the same category far as I’m concerned:
To all my elected Officials. I oppose any sort of gun legislation, and so does everyone that I know here in Ohio. We are all law abiding citizens, hard workers, property owners and are not on any sort of Government assistance. All of us own guns, hunt, fish and take off our hats when the flag is raised. We will NEVER shoot anyone, anywhere, under any circumstances who does NOT need to be shot.
You can also rest assured that if our Country is ever invaded, that we will fight to the death to defend it. If you take away our guns, we’ll have to throw rocks and spears instead, so it will be much harder for us, but we will still fight to defend our Country our last breath.
Taking guns away from hard working property owning American citizen’s just leaves us open to attack from all the “bottom feeders” in our society.
On a personal note. When the day comes where the Government sends folks to take away my guns, you can have them, BUT, they will have to pry them from my cold-dead fingertips!
Thanks for listening……Cliff
West Virginia is with you too Naybor!!!
The Democrats need to rid their party of all these Communists, and Socialists, and get back to being constitution loving Americans, instead of Euro-want-to-bes. Who in there right minds want to follow the example of lesser successful societies?
We are free, and trust me, they want us to give ours up while they keep theirs.
This kills me, the Socialists and Comunists want a country that everyone has the the same amount, there are 100s of countries they can go to and have that. The true fact of the matter is, every commoner does have the same, NOTHING, and all the Rulling class has everything. Is Putin poor like his people? And a bigger question, Are the Clintons and the Polosies, Obomas, Shummers poor? They want you the people to give up your wealth, but they haven’t given up theirs.
How is that right?
I think most gun owners would \”fight to the death\” any foreign invaders. However, as far as I am concerned that goes double in spades for ANYONE who would dare to confiscate American citizen\’s fire arms. And calling it \”their jobs\” don\’t mean squat! THEY would (and should) be regarded the same as foreign invaders and common criminals … intent on robbing and killing us.
” if our Country is ever invaded ”
We’ve been under invasion for years. No Thanks to the people who run the government.
The parkland shooter was useing 10 round magazines on his rampage they were more Concealable excuse take the guns
As usual first we reduce the amount you can carry then we start banning guns. Grabbing political control by disarming the masses under the name of making us safe is a lie. Disarming people never makes anyone more safe… these children are in “gun free zones”. How safe were they? Call their lies what they are and hold them up for everyone to see in the light of day. Why are honest citizens being restricted in their natural right to defend themselves? The answer of course isn’t the ignorance of politicians it’s because they fear we’ll recognize their intentions.
Very well said!
The crime penalties in this country need to hurt the criminals not send them to these country club prisons. Restructure the penal code make committing a serious hurt. No more t.v. no more internet no more gym time. If you want help as a prisoner and want to better yourself say so and you’ll get help. If not go sit in an eight foot by eight foot cell an shut the fuck up. Your being punished not getting a free ride in the criminally organized crime setting called prison….punish the repeat offenders and make prisons an unhappy painful experience and maybe some of this insane shit would stop happening. We’ve become way too soft on crime, way to humanaterian these people are fucking animals and need to be treated as such.You want help speak up or shut the fuck up……Start enforcing the laws that are already in place
the gun grabbers never consider the unintended consequences of their actions.
Yes, they absolutely do. The end result will be a defenseless populace ; easy meat for their future plans for us.
The usual suspects trying to further their careers with bodies of dead children. The don’t know security, and they sure as hell don’t understand firearms or their use.
With this stupid proposed law it will make criminals out of nearly half the people in this country. It will also start a huge black market for guns and gun parts. I’m not giving up one damn thing to the commiecrats. Lets see if they can jail and kill 180 million people. “Laws” against the Constitution never need to be obeyed. Communist crap counts for absolutely nothing in the United States.
The country will be much more safer if we reduce the number of Democrats per capita.
It is time for us to start targeting these antigun communists. When they are up for re-election we need to spend as much money to defeat them as we can. Get rid of them and the argument will stop.
Menendez is a crook, as pointed out in the caption. All this nonsense needed for more credibility is Dick “Stolen Valor” Blumenthal as a co-sponsor.
They go after legal gun owners because they can find them. They cant find illegal gun carriers and don’t care to look for them , when its so much easier to fool the sheep by legislating legal owners rights.
None of my many magazines are high capacity. They’re all standard capacity. If they want to try the bullshit line about AR mags holding more than 10 rounds, my answer is nope, all 125 of my magazines are for my 458 socom, which only holds 9.
can I carry 100 arrows in my quiver. can I carry 100 marbles in my shooter bag for my flip stock, can I still have large rocks in my pocket to throw.
I’M not a hunter, my weapons are for target practice and defense of my family.
If democrats don’t want 10+ round magazines then I suggest they don’t purchase any…
does the congress come under the department of education they all act like 5th graders.
I don’t need Ted or anyone else telling me what I need. He can demand to get rid of 10 round plus mags all he wants it will fall on deaf ears!!
Democraps want everyone’s magazines to have diminished capacity – just like what passes for their so-called brains.
Sounds like the “safe neighborhoods and schools act ie prop 47 in CA. The one which most felonies, burglaries drug possesion, pckage theft etc, now $50 fine and no jail time. Genius! now we cant even protect ourselves against these idiots. All youre going to do is make pmags 300$ a pop. Idiots…..
It will never happen. They couldn’t keep the Assault Weapons Ban in play when they, (Democrats), controlled all 3 branches of government. They will never get a 10 round magazine ban passed with Republicans controlling both the Senate and the White House. Their own party wouldn’t vote it in. It would amount to political suicide, and they know it. The number one concern of ANY politician is to get reelected. Pushing insane bills like this will not make that happen. Remember what happened to Democrats after they rammed the Brady Bill through.
“with Republicans controlling both the Senate and the White House”…I beg to differ, the only Republican we seem to have is in the White House. We have Democrats controlling the House now and “Democrats-light” controlling the Senate. If that were not the case why the hell was the wall not built, the Hearing Protection Act not passed as well as Pistol Permit Reciprocity when the alleged “Republicans” controlled the House and Senate fot the last two years??? Wake up.
We dont need cars to go over 70mph if they wouldnt how many lives would that save?you keeping me from buying as big of a mag I want will not change the fact that it will not change the nut that wants to kill people. Maybe some FBI people should have been fired in Florida cause they dropped the ball but no one got fired and they were to blame
We dont need communists telling us what we need and it is not the bill of needs.
Nothing making me mentally cringe more than “Democrats propose…” It just never ends well.
My proposed “Keep THE UNITED STATES Safe Act”….

I would vote for that
