They know nobody would comply if it passes.
There would be a war if it does.
It won’t get out of committee.
“The rats have just signed their own demise with this bill.”
OR,as the anus’ of the left would say:
The rats have just signed their own death warrant with this bill.
They just lost the Midwest and probably Colorado and Nevada.
If the MN GOP knew what they were doing, this could flip MN Red.
Like Prohibition worked out really well.
That is a mighty peculiar way to try to save lives from gun deaths, when the result will be Civil War and massive gun deaths.
Yep. Guns have such a long legal history in the United States and new technologies would make a ban highly impractical.
Well they can ban all they want, the fact remains they’d still be out there.
Put it to vote. Get them on record.
It’s all a dog and pony show. They publicly back a bill that has absolutely no chance of passing and hope they never have to actually vote on it.
The filibuster was created as an excuse not to do anything. RINOs and Rats alike love it because they can privately oppose a bill and publicly vote for it and blame the other side for holding it up.
The fact is, a single bullet may not bring down its target. It might require several bullets given the need to quickly drain out as much blood needed for the brain to shut down. That means the ability to effectively hit the target, who may be moving around and may be causing you to duck behind a barrier to avoid being shot. Opportunity may be a brief window. It may require several shots to do the job and automatic fire and large magazines insures that you will be successful with the little time you have.
Liberal Billionaire Bezos could afford to buy up tens of millions of guns at say 70% to 80% of the wholesale price.
With Bill Gates and Warren Buffet’s help, liberals could buy up more guns.
But they won’t.
California? Its money is going for a bullet-train boondoggle.
If they pass a law making guns illegal, then people won’t be able to get them.
That’s how we got rid of the drug problem.
They passed a law making alcoholic beverages illegal a time ago and looked what happened.
Molon Labe, bitches!
There. That looks better.
***A Total Ban On Firearms***
The founder of Handgun Control Inc laid it all out back in 1976. One step at a time.
Nelson T. Pete Shields
Founder of Handgun Control, Inc.
Im convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. Were going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily given the political realities going to be very modest.
Of course, its true that politicians will then go home and say, This is a great law. The problem is solved. And its also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then well have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, wed be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal total control of handguns in the United States is going to take time.
My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors totally illegal.

Yes, Im for an outright ban [on handguns]. (now rifles)

HCI, around 1984, came out in favor of a ban on semi-auto rifles and shotguns.
