Chuckie lies as usual, this is an amendment to the Cybersecurity bill instead of a free standing bill. Let him and his gun grabbers come up with a bill and see if it passes on its own.

[Red Steel]

Yawn Chuckie. DOA in the House, but keep on pushing for it though since you’ll end up assuring losing more ground in November if not more seats.

If the word Schumer is used then ‘rational’ or ‘reasonable’ do not belong in the same sentence.

[Principled]

Next week the Senate is expected to debate and vote on amendments to the Cybersecurity bill.

How about a budget?

[a fool in paradise]

Chuck the Schmuck sponsors. Big surprise.

This is the same a$$hole who acknowledged he didn’t care that government officials lied to Congress about what sort of weapons were used in the final stand against those in the Davidian compound.

Chuck is the worst sort of Big Government thug.

He suggested that Democrats make it clear that their goal is not to repeal the Second Amendment.
Then Republicans better damn well make it clear that this would still be an infringement of Constitutionally protected Second Amendment rights which are not supposed to be infringed upon!

[Dead Corpse]

We’ve given all we are going to give.

Not one step further...

The bizarre irony of this kneejerk reaction to the Aurora shooting is that his high capacity ammo drum jamming was one reason that more people didn’t die. If he would have used multiple conventional mags, he probably would have killed more people.

[JamesA]

Molon Labe Chuckie!

[umgud]

I’m guessing there may be enough weak knee’d pubies in the senate to pass a 10 round mag cap bill. I don’t know if these amendments have to then go to the house, where it would surely get killed.

[BigpapaBo]

I bet CTG and The Sportsmans Guide are selling out of AR and AK type mags now that this is out. Scare them, then sell them....

[Bobalu]

We are very, very close to the age where you can use a 3D printer to print up an actual firearm. It is possible to print very strong objects now, like wrenches. Think of a 3D printer building up an object layer by layer using an epoxy as strong as JB-Weld. What will gun grabers do then? Outlaw digital descriptions of guns?

I saw an article just today over on HackADay.com about a guy printing a new lower receiver for his AR-15. He used equipment that is far from the current state of the art. In a few years we will be able to print incredible things.

“Maybe we could come together on guns if each side gave some,” Schumer said.

Uh, Senator Schemer, sir? When Democrats say they're willing to compromise, it means the good guys (conservatives) give up something they already have, while the leftards "give up" gaining as much collectivist tyranny as they were shooting for, but the change relative to statist quo is always in only one direction. This does NOT meet a sane person's definition of "compromise" (I understand why you wouldn't have known that, don't feel bad)

So, um......no. When "compromise" means you we get to repeal 3 existing collectivist infringements on our freedom, and we call it a "compromise" cause we really wanted to repeal 5, we can talk.

What snakes!

@ CONGRESSIONAL RECORD—SENATE Page 5402, right column

SA 2575. Mr. LAUTENBERG (for himself, Mrs. BOXER, Mr. REED, Mr. MENENDEZ, Mrs. GILLIBRAND, Mr. SCHUMER, and Mrs. FEINSTEIN) submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the bill S. 3414, to enhance the security and resiliency of the cyber and communications infrastructure of the United States; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:
At the appropriate place, insert the following
SEC. ll. PROHIBITION ON TRANSFER OR POSSESSION OF LARGE CAPACITY AMMUNITION FEEDING DEVICES.
(a) DEFINITION.—Section 921(a) of title 18, United States Code, is amended by inserting after paragraph (29) the following:
‘‘(30) The term ‘large capacity ammunition feeding device’—
‘‘(A) means a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device that has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition; but
‘‘(B) does not include an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition.’’.
(b) PROHIBITIONS.—Section 922 of such title is amended by inserting after subsection (u) the following:
‘‘(v)(1)(A)(i) Except as provided in clause
(ii), it shall be unlawful for a person to transfer or possess a large capacity ammunition feeding device.

It continues on Page 5403.

How does imposing this "prohibition" in any way "enhance the security and resiliency of the cyber and communications infrastructure of the United States"?

[SueRae]

How typical. Add a last minute-kneejerk tag onto an existing bill to score some brownie points. We really are in sad shape with the current crop of Senators..is this the best they can do? God, where do these people come from?

[Repeal 16-17]

To Schmuckie Chuckie, repealing the Second Amendment would be a reasonable gun control measure.

This should be DOA in the House, but I hope the Democrats make gun control a major campaign issue. Hopefully, they'll make repealing the Second Amendment a plank in their platform.

"'Maybe we could come together on guns if each side gave some,' Schumer said...'We can debate where to draw the line of reasonableness, but we might be able to come to an agreement in the middle,' Schumer said."

Incrementalism, also known as gradualism. Schumer and his associates are aiming at a compromise with more incrementalism toward more complete bans in the future.

[Ancesthntr]

There are laws against murder in Colorado...fat lot of good that did in Aurora.

Fact is that there are so many hundreds of millions of magazines out there that such a law would do nothing to stop crime. Even the Chuckie-logic fails, let alone real logic, let alone the Constitutionality of the whole thing.

Pubbies in the House had BETTER kill this, or a lot of us will go to the range or reload instead of going to the polls.

[Gabrial]

Millions of criminals made overnight. Possessing one 30 round mag would make you a criminal.
