After CA's Gun Laws Fail, Dems Say They'll Push for the Same Ones Nationwide

As Democrats are set to control the House of Representatives next year, they say one of their first agendas will be to introduce a new set of gun control bills, especially in wake of the Thousand Oaks, California mass shooting that killed twelve people.

Current House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told CNN she plans on introducing "bipartisan legislation to have common sense background checks.”

“It doesn’t cover everything,” Pelosi admitted. “But it will save many lives.”

She added that current Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) did not bring the bill to the floor because he knew it would pass, but, “This will be a priority for us going into the next Congress.”

Molon labe.

‘Cause we know how nutcases commit abhorrent crimes like that in Montana, Maine, the Dakotas, and elsewhere like that in addition to California, eh?

Doubtful, but controlled back burning of forests does.

What other "rule", outside of confiscation, would have prevented any shooting from happening?

And even with confiscation....bad guys will find a way to obtain a weapon. Or, like in Europe, they will resort to another method.

It’s just about the perception of doing something, anything to appease the liberal anti-gun lobby. All that democrats will do is to duplicate the laws and regulations already in the books, but, the dumb followers won’t know the difference and will have been appeased. Meanwhile, nothing at all will change on the ground, and the criminals will continue getting their guns without worrying about gun registrations or any other anti-gun laws.

Those that support the 2nd amendment need to:

1) teach a gun safety class to a friend or neighbor and take them shooting

2) push back by asking why the Dems want to take away the right to defend yourself and your family.

It will save no lives.

All it will do is make more laws for criminals to ignore.

I'm guessing a lot of people are forgetting about the black market from the days of the Soviet Union.

Where there's a will, there's way.

In the meantime, tens of million of legal gun owners didn't shoot or kill anyone today.

Law-abiding people do not commit armed robberies, nor do they murder people.
Law-abiding people will abide by gun control laws and will disarm themselves.
But society will receive no benefit from this because law-abiding people don’t break the law.

Lawless people commit armed robberies and also murder people.
Lawless people will not abide by silly gun control laws.
Pass all the gun control laws you want, lawless people won’t care.
And crime can only go up because fewer law abiding people will be carrying at the right time in the right place.

“It doesn’t cover everything,” Pelosi admitted. “But it will save many lives take guns away from lawful gun owners, which is our intentions anyway.”

Fixed it!

The Rats have their sanctuary cities for illegals, I have my sanctuary house for firearms.

Dear Lord,

There are so many dems who should have retired by now.

Please help them to make that decision. Remove them from office.

any time a RAT says “common sense”, I first think “end run around the constitution”
