The House Judiciary Committee's Assault Weapons Ban Fallout
Townhall ^ | September 30, 2019 | John R. Lott, Jr.

Posted on 10/02/2019 9:42:24 AM PDT by rogerantone1

If you want to see how extreme the Democrats have gotten on gun control, you just had to listen to a House Judiciary Committee hearing last week.

It is one thing for Democrats such as Beto O'Rourke and Rep. Eric Swalwell (R-CA) to call for confiscating AR-15s and civilian versions of AK-47s. But in the committee hearing this past Wednesday, the loudest applause came when Democratic witnesses called for bans on all or at least the vast majority of guns.

Of course they want all civilian-owned guns. Unarmed peasants are easier to control.

Democrats are the enemy. THEY should be rounded up, NOT us.

From the article: "..."I believe that any weapon that can be used to hunt individuals should be banned," announced Charlottesville Police Chief RaShall M. Brackney in the hearing...."

This will, of course, include all bows, slingshots, clubs, rocks, knives. etc.

No thanks, American Leftists. Russian Leftists already murdered my great grandfather in 1937, after having stolen his entire life’s work in the early 1920s, and German Leftists murdered over 100 people in my extended family in Poland in 1941. I’ve learned the lessons of the past.

My answer to your demand that I turn in any or all of my guns is, “No! Your turn.” If you insist, I will turn in a lot of the bullets that my guns fire, via airmail.

That, and GFY.

Civilian version means semi-auto and NOT an assault rifle which by definition are capable of full auto fire.
