Here is a new House Bil, 4269,l introduced that makes the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 look like a parking infraction.

This will fail, once again the left is just trying to appease their base by throwing feel good legislation up for a vote.  It is a good reminder though that though some of us feel as if we don't have much say in the who goes into the oval office we do have a much better chance to elect pro-gun Congressmen who can put a stop to garbage like this bill.

Set up by the Dems.  I think they know it won't pass, but need to try in the lead up for the election.  Then they will scream and cry about the R's and the NRA not making things safe.

I have two competing theories about this, and I'm not sure which one I believe more:

1.  The libs know that a winning tactic is to keep putting stuff up for votes.   Some of it passes, and even the stuff that doesn't pass makes an impact by slowly chewing away at the foundation of the 2nd amendment.

2.  The firearms manufacturing association plants these pieces of legislation to keep gun sales going......   You know Obama has sold more AR-15's than about everyone else combined......

 I really hope nothing like this could pass, but as screwed up as things have been the last few years, it has to be taken seriously....

[Elkaholic daWg]

A BILL

To regulate assault weapons, to ensure that the right to keep and bear arms is not unlimited, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
 SECTION 1. Short title.


This Act may be cited as the “Assault Weapons Ban of 2015”.


 Sure as hell screams infringement from the get GO!!!!

Someone help me out here.  How did sawed off shotguns get banned but assault rifles are still legal?  I can't figure out how that ever got passed?

Short barreled shotguns were made illegal in the 1930s, long before "assault rifles" became commonplace.

We, the public can't own ASSAULT rifles. We might be able to own scary looking BLACK hunting rifles though.....

[Jarhead Chase]

That list read like a shopping list for me.

By definition, an assault rifle must have a " selective fire switch ", otherwise, our BLACK GUNS are hunting rifles, plain and simple. The liberal leftist, most likely coined that assault rifle phrase years ago to get a rise out of the sheeple, who know absolutely nothing about weapons, period.

Not if they redefine the definition of an assault rifle, which it looks like that is eaxctly what they plan to do:

"“(36) The term ‘semiautomatic assault weapon’ means any of the following, regardless of country of manufacture or caliber of ammunition accepted:

“(A) A semiautomatic rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and any 1 of the following:

“(i) A pistol grip.

“(ii) A forward grip.

“(iii) A folding, telescoping, or detachable stock.

“(iv) A grenade launcher or rocket launcher.

“(v) A barrel shroud.

“(vi) A threaded barrel."

Don't all rifles have threaded barrels?
