Dem-Controlled House Passes Magazine Ban And More
2019-09-13
[BearingArms] The U.S. House of Representatives passed three gun control bills on Tuesday, ramping up the pressure on the U.S. Senate to "do something" now that Congress has returned from its legislative session. The three bills include a measure offering grants to states to set up "red flag" laws, a prohibition on gun ownership for those convicted of misdemeanor hate crimes, and a ban on magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. Later this month the House Judiciary Committee is also expected to pass a sweeping ban on semi-automatic firearms and magazines over 10 rounds.

The additional gun control measures passed by the House are meant to apply pressure to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who said gun control would be "front and center" when the Senate returned, but has since said he won't bring any gun bill to the floor that won't be signed by President Donald Trump. On Tuesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said McConnell's inaction has led to the deaths of Americans.
Horrible, ineffective and tyrannical idea after idea. This is the full sprint to a total gun ban by the left. One can only hope that the Senate doesn't cave to this and Trump doesn't sign it if they do.

Otherwise the Republicans are dead as a party. And so is the US.

#5  QC, we are already labeled "Terrorists" by the speaker of the house's district. Pretty close to a done deal on that. So not it can be illegal for the NRA member to peacefully assemble because they are a terrorist org, their free speech is curtailed, and any sense of due process is voided in San Fran. Its not a matter of when, its a matter of how wide and far this will go before people stat expending ammo on the issue to get their God given rights back.

#4  Ban on semi-automatics? That ain't going to happen. If so, we are going to make felons out of a large segment of the population; people who vote. It would pave the way for a 1860 redux and a resistance like has never been seen. Most likely, an open season on politicians would be fostered who passed this.
