Senate Dems Introduce Bill That Would Ban 205 'Assault Weapons'
2021-03-16
[TRENDINGPOLITICS] Senate Democrats are set to introduce legislation that would instantly make 205 now-legally-owned firearms illegal overnight.

Here are the key provisions:
  • Bans the sale, manufacture, transfer and importation of 205 military-style assault weapons by name. Owners may keep existing weapons.Bans any assault weapon with the capacity to utilize a magazine that is not a fixed ammunition magazine and has one or more military characteristics including a pistol grip, a forward grip, a barrel shroud, a threaded barrel or a folding or telescoping stock. Owners may keep existing weapons.

  • Bans magazines and other ammunition feeding devices that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition, which allow shooters to quickly fire many rounds without needing to reload. Owners may keep existing magazines.

  • Requires a background check on any future sale, trade or gifting of an assault weapon covered by the bill.

  • Requires that grandfathered assault weapons are stored using a secure gun storage or safety device like a trigger lock.

  • Prohibits the transfer of high-capacity ammunition magazines.

  • Bans bump-fire stocks and other devices that allow semi-automatic weapons to fire at fully automatic rates.

#7  The surest way to delegitimize the mandate of government is to pass a law with mass non-compliance.

And its already on some thin ice.

#4  The Dems have pulled gun control, registration and confiscation off the shelf once again with a few additions. The Dems are ratcheting up the piss-off factor among legal gun-owning citizens. All these things have little to do with controlling crime and criminals. Criminals will still have guns and crime will still occur--most likely at even higher levels.

Gun bills with many other Dem policies may swing the House to the Pubs in 2022. The Dems are pushing HR1 hard to insure they don't lose the House in 2022.

#2  I'm not optimistic the courts would declare this unconstitutional.

Either way, I will not comply.

He doesn't like what he hears on this topic, nor do you. Such a distructive congress, overstepping its boundaries by ignoring the constitution of the usa.
