Cornyn said the assault weapons ban “jeopardizes the self-defense rights of law-abiding citizens while doing nothing to address the real problem.”
Cornyn also said the proposal would effectively ban “the majority of handguns” sold in the country because it prohibits the sale of high-capacity ammunition clips. Cornyn offered several amendment to revise the Feinstein proposal, but they were defeated by Democrats.

This is good news.
Put it up for a vote. Get it off the table. And move on. Time to put this one down for good.

These representatives of the Democratic [sic] party seem to be determined to be voted out of office at the soonest available opportunity.
Let's not disappoint the vermin.

We should never ‘assume’ the House and/ or Senate will defeat this bill. There are too many RINOs in both to be trusted.

“I am not a sixth grader,” Feinstein bristled. Most sixth graders are smarter.

Damned radicals. The economy has been trashed and all they can think about is liberal thug repression and infringement.
