There's a video at the source.

Republican State Senator Brad Ashford turned down Dem E.D. Matt Conneally's suggestion that he run against Rep Lee Terry. Ashford is called a commie on this link.

Important Nebraska Second Amendment Bills to be Considered Friday! Ashford appears to be a gun grabbing RINO. Ashford wants to punish gun owners if their guns are stolen, but the owners didn't know it.

States consider gun-access laws

It sounds as though these buffoons aren’t very big fans of the Bill of Rights.

Let me see if I have this right. Guns were prohibited in the mall where the mass shooting (perpetrated by a CRIMINAL) took place, so therefore, a bunch of specific guns should be banned to law-abiding citizens? Even though a murderer can use any kind of gun to commit mayhem?

[DesertSapper]

What a bunch of anti-2nd Amendment wusses. Thank God our forefathers had enough foresight to make it a bit more difficult for these gun grabbers to disarm us. Unfortunately, not hard enough.

By-the-way, what's the current MSM definition of an "assault weapon"? If I whacked someone in the head with a pool cue or my laptop, would that count?

Brad Trashford has been pushing for gun control in Nebraska for at least 20 years. He was dis-elected a few years ago and took some potboiler “job” at the public trough. Now, like a ghoul that won’t stay dead, he’s back. No Nebraska state senator interested in keeping his seat would consider backing this garbage legislation, and the few who do don’t represent any constituency worth mentioning.

Yeah, that’s the ticket. Ban guns and then criminals won’t shoot anyone again. They will have turned in their guns like law abiding citizens! Great plan!< / sarcasm >

"Ashford wants to create a blue ribbon, Assault Weapons Commission, that will report back to the Legislature by next February 1st. The commission would list which specific assault weapons should be banned."

Interesting how the panel isn't being formed to see whether to ban 'assault weapons', rather which ones to ban...

Unbiased. Telling, no?

[RetiredNavy]

Interesting that “Rapid fire weapons” were mentioned. I understand that Jerry Miculek can fire 6 shots from a revolver in less than a second. Is this list going to include double action revolvers also?

Looks like we’ll be in a global hot war within the year and these guys want to make America as helpless as possible.

There will be a time for them.

"The commission would list which specific assault weapons should be banned. Lawmakers would then vote up or down on the list. " Okay, our next weapon on the list is this sweet Bushmaster .450 carbine. Show of hands, who wants to bann this one???

[Liberty Valance]

Clueless. Will they vote to ban automobiles as well? The murders in the mall could have been much worse had that same insane person used a car in the mall.
