Re: Democrats Moving on ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban..targets at Least 45 Specific AR-15 Rif
I don't think they have enough, they might flip a couple. When it was at the house they only had 2 republicans flip and 5 democrats voted no. Pretty sure Joe Manchin is on record saying no to the AR15 ban so that would mean they'd need at least 11 republicans to flip if he votes no.

Re: Democrats Moving on ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban..targets at Least 45 Specific AR-15 Rif
I recall the part of the so called firearms owners protection act that banned the issuing of tax stamps for machine guns took place once Reagan signed it into law. The rest of the stuff came into effect about 6 months after.
However if this law should pass even with a year or more before it goes into effect, there will not be a semi auto or a over ten round magazine to be had. AT least not at non outrageous prices. Expect to pay $3K or more for someone's homemade or beat up AR 15. As far as over 10 round magazines they cannot be transferred. So if you are buying them up in hopes of selling them after a ban for a profit, more than likely you will be caught via police sting or informant.

Re: Democrats Moving on ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban..targets at Least 45 Specific AR-15 Rif
Too many Republicans and Manchin have shown that they can not be trusted. Almost 1/3 of Senate republicans voted for the last bill. Who knows what deals will be offered for a yes vote on this.
Here are the ones who voted for the last gun control bill. Can we really trust any of them? They may wind up voting no, but that seed of doubt is there now..
Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Senate minority leader
Roy Blunt of Missouri
Richard Burr of North Carolina
Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia
Bill Cassidy of Louisiana
Susan Collins of Maine
John Cornyn of Texas
Joni Ernst of Iowa
Lindsey Graham of South Carolina
Lisa Murkowski of Alaska
Rob Portman of Ohio
Mitt Romney of Utah
Thom Tillis of North Carolina
Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania
Todd Young of Indiana

When does the Senate vote on the ban?
There are no pacts between lions and men.

Question...
Is it after the committee level when the filibuster comes into play?

Re: Democrats Moving on ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban..targets at Least 45 Specific AR-15 Rif
The last bill was a big bullshit nothingburger; sure it was crappy and stupid, and take a few more chips at our rights, but by and large it was almost immediately forgotten. This dumb ass 'assault' bill is an entirely different can of worms. I do not think it will make it through the Senate. They're not that suicidal, and it WILL be political suicide for any R up for reelection that votes for it. Toomey might just because he's a giant piece of shit.
Strange women lying in ponds, distributing swords, is no basis for a system of government.

Re: Democrats Moving on ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban..targets at Least 45 Specific AR-15 Rif
The anti gun politicians are what they are. .The firearm owners in this country who voted for Democrat politicians is the real problem.
Apparently the house and senate members who have voted and will vote for the semi auto ban believe that the collective gun owners will not backlash enough to remove many of the anti lawmakers from office. Otherwise the house would not have passed such law and the senate would not call for a vote, especially in an election year.
