| Last Minute Pelosi Legislative Trick for an even Harsher Assault Weapons Ban |
| 2022-07-30 |
| [OneClickPolitics] Tyrants in DC are pushing through a new federal "assault weapons" ban that is even more draconian than the original 1994 ban. HR 1808 - which would ban nearly all ARs, AKs, AR pistols (and even many handguns and shotguns) - was advanced by the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, July 20th. By gaining the approval of the Judiciary Committee in a 25-18 vote, H.R. 1808 now awaits a full vote in the House. |

| #10 I don't think this law would last too long with the current Supreme Court make-up. I would rather they waste money chasing this unicorn rather than spending money that we can't unspend. |

| #9 ^ Just like guns, the problem with banning rope is all the rope already out there. And, hey, if the rope's a bit short, well, so it goes... |

| #6 FFS gridlock is the feature of the founding. It was designed to be difficult. Its the whole fucking point, not to be ruled by king dictate. |

| #5 Anyone who thinks gridlock is not good, given our current crop of politicians, isn't paying attention or wants rule by fiat anyway. As long as the fiat ruler sees things their way. |

| #4 I guess the trick here is gaslighting the general people into thinking that The House has the authority to do anything. I am left to wonder...did The Mall Incident swing opinion? Seemed a locked thing 'to do something' until really just recently. Put that in contrast to dude playing Candy Crush while his wife puts up her life fight. Sorry; I would have had to be more zipped up than a Freddy Mercury wet dream. |
