Lemme guess, the criminals and mentally ill are quaking in their boots over these proposals (do I actually need to indicate the sarc?), eh?

Ban assault weapons?

Then AR-15s would be safe since they aren’t assault weapons.

If you live in RI, I’m willing to buy your deadly “assault weapons” at a good price. Good to me, that is.

As stupid as making a woman down the street having her tubes tied so you don’t get pregnant.

Just checked. Mine didn’t sneak out last night and do anything. I did see a post this morning stating that all military and LEO undergo psych testing before they’re allowed access to weapons. Oh, and dispatchers too. Well that should take care of things right? Face palm.

These are the laws that put guns in the hands of criminals and take them out of the hands of patriots.

Typical liberal idiocy.
They will pass a law that the LAW ABIDING already agree with. Then be shocked, shocked I tell you, when the criminal and insane “community”commit another horrendous crime.
At the same time, automobiles in the hands of drunken fools kill and injure innocent people probably ten time more often than the hated “assault weapon”.
Then bats, knives, bare hands, ropes and fists. All these murderous things must be banned in the name of public safety.

And to think, all anti-gun packages fifty years ago ended with these words....

“Long guns will not be affected.”

Now long guns like rifles and shotguns are affected. Never trust an anti-gun politician.

With bills like this one being contemplated by the horrible political class of our country, I think I will buy more than one .308 rifle.

Never forget that virtually every gun control proposal is described as s "common sense" first step.

Hard to believe that back in 1934, the anti-gun packages then banned machine guns, sub machine guns, very short rifles, sawed off shotguns.
They tried, but failed to get handguns banned by claiming that a rifle and shotgun were better for home defense.

Now the rifles are “evil”!

Never trust an anti-gun politician.
