“Assault Weapons Ban” Introduced in Congress Today

[middlefinger]

.

House Democrats are making yet another push to restrict the rights of American citizens to purchase certain types of firearms.

Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) has introduced the “Assault Weapons Ban of 2015”. The bill would ban the manufacture and sale of AR-15 rifles and other semi automatic long guns.

“Assault weapons are designed for the sole purpose of killing as many people as quickly as possible,” Cicilline said in a statement to The Hill. “We need to do everything we can to reduce the toll of gun violence by keeping these weapons out of our communities.”

This bill would allow current owners of semi-auto rifles to keep their firearms, however they would not be able to sell or transfer them.

The bill would also deny firearms dealers from selling a firearm if the federal background check does not come back after three days. Under current law, if the background check system does not respond after three days, the dealer can proceed with the transaction.

Smoke and mirrors is all it is. The ass hats who put these bills in know they will be met with fierce opposition and will go absolutely no where fast. On another note if this ass hat thinks the sole purpose of the AR-15 is too kill as many people as fast as one can then he really needs to do some research on what has become one of the most versatile, popular sporting and hunting rifles in America.

My goodness! A Rhode Island Democrat. I'm stunned!

Farkin icehole. It's dogma. I would treat him like a mass-shooter. Give him as least notice as possible.

There is the backdoor the antis have been wanting.

So when I die, my family is going to turn my rifles over to fed.gov...... sure they will.

Meanwhile, terrorists are bringing US supplied guns over the US/Mexico border (via Bengazi, filtered through Syria).

Fucking domestic threats. So....you want to legislate my legally procured property to zero value and seize it once I die? Drop dead, literally, today. If some of these fucks were alive in 1776, they'd be bending a lamp post.

Ohh wow I will be able to keep my own personal property, mind you property that has been grated to me under the 2nd amendment of the constitution.

The biggest domestic threat to this country now is democrats and their mindless legions of the free shit army.

Politicians are domestic threats and need to be dealt with swiftly and severely.

I don't know about all this. I have mixed feelings. After all we have all thess guns that have 30 caliber clips that shoot 30 rounds a second and then we have those guns that have the shoulder thing that goes up. We really need to do something!! Anything. It doesn't have to be effective, we just have to do something.
