| Rep. Pete King off the reservation again, this time about firearms |
| 2019-08-20 |
| Rep. Pete King (R-NY) is supporting the Democrats’ "assault weapons" ban in order to get rid of what he refers to as "weapons of mass slaughter." The Frog The New York Daily News quoted King saying, "They are weapons of mass slaughter." He added, "I don’t see any need for them in everyday society." The Democrats’ "assault weapons" ban is sponsored by Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI), and has the support of nearly 200 Democrat Representatives. On August 14, Breitbart News reported that the "assault weapons" push became central for Democrats after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) signaled his willingness to take up gun control when the Senate reconvenes in September. McConnell said that universal background checks will probably "lead the discussion," but he also said an "assault weapons" ban would be front and center. King has been focused on background checks but recent events renewed his focus for an "assault weapons" bill. He said, "I think the assault weapons ban is timely now, especially in view of the shooting in El Paso and Dayton." |

| #7 "I don’t see any need for them in everyday society." Cause they and the 2d Amendment are not about everyday society, it was and is the guard against power grabbing dictating tyrannical government. You know, the kind you see in the mirror everyday. |

| #5 When firearms are outlawed only outlaws will have firearms. I don't think they have actually thought that through, but then again, when did they ever? |

| #4 Dems are ready to confiscate firearms from law abiding people but have no plan to take firearms from criminals. They have no plans to take firearms from their security details. It is like a bubble under linoleum. You can move it around but you can’t ged rid of it. People have the right to defend themselves. Dems proposed so called laws are nothing but a suicide pact. |

| #2 The squishy, lefty RINOs strike again. He added, "I don’t see any need for them in everyday society." That is because you are a tyrant wannabe. Molon Labe dickhead. |
