This is Canadian style gun control coming your way. Poorly worded, broad application, no grandfathering and criminal charges for possession of items that were previously legal to own with an expectation they will be handed in without compensation.
Republican Turncoats Introduce Anti-Gun Law
There is nothing safer than allowing the law enforcement officer at your door decide what the law’s intent really means.
Vote against any politician of any stripe that takes a right away from you and doesn’t give you an equal right in return. Makes no difference what party they are from, vote against them.
Are you free to do something today?
Will you be free to do it tomorrow?
If not what new right do you expect to have to replace it, one that is at least equal to the one you lost.
Yawn. This will never get to a vote. If it does, it will fail. If it gets to Trump´s desk he will veto it. This is a political kabuki dance, nothing more. I would feel very different if it were a real threat to our rights.
But if it does at least get to a vote, it will show who needs to be removed from Congress and who we should keep in place.
After Hitler took Austria, there were few in Poland predicting they would be next…
The RINO’s for this bill

Primary these fools out of office; if they survive that, vote for someone else.
Gun control is really the low hanging fruit, with an emotional hook, but the real prize is the precedent of nibbling away at the Constitution without all the messy formalities, such as fredom of speech. Everybody knows that gun control is a non sequitur relative to death by primate.
Doesn’t matter whether it has a snowball’s chance in hell of passing or not. What matters is someone believes the political will is there to make it happen and they are proceeding accordingly. These sorts of things ought not be forgotten. Dead end or not.
Before I give up my guns I have to give up my ammo because I’m not going to stand around waiting for the cattle cars to arrive.
Gun control this. “Civil Disobedience”
Canadian style gun control?Will this bill be introduced by a mountie riding a moose onto the the floor of congress?Will this interfere with the yearly congress vrs. senate curling games?As we all know these bills are passed in the dark behind closed doors in say a bar,will they be drinking labatts/wearing maple leaf lapel pins while playing Rush/April Wine/Triumph on the juke box?What exactly is the protocol for passing Canadian style gun control?
On a side note,Indentured,mind if I clean up your brass for others to reload and keep the fight going?
No, I don’t mind but I expect some or all of it will be bagged and tagged as evidence at the “crime” scene.
Notice how they used the Interstate Commerce Clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3: “To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States….”) to find Congress’s Constitutional power on this matter.
“It shall be unlawful for any person— in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, to manufacture, possess, or transfer any part or combination of parts that is designed and functions to increase the rate of fire of a semiautomatic rifle but does not convert the semiautomatic rifle into a machinegun”

The politicians will continue to scurry about like cats covering up shit as our rights outlined in the bill of rights becomes a document so full of holes it no longer resembles a shield for citizens but rather takes on the look of protective Swiss cheese . Should confiscation gain any traction and it will , remember that thin blue line of badge wearing minions have their canned response as they hold you at gun point or break in your home when you are elsewhere to confiscate your weapons : “SORRY SIR I AM JUST DOING MY JOB” !
Sure I have to understand would not want you to actually stand for something other than your 20 and out pension as you forget the protect and defend line . Some people will do anything to make the political animals happy and maintain full control of everything and everybody !
“our rights outlined in the bill of rights becomes a document so full of holes”
Some of our rights have been expanded. For example, the Fourth Amendment didn’t apply to state & local law enforcement until it was incorporated into the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment by Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643 (1961). Prior to Elkins v. United States, 364 U.S. 206 (1960) there was a practice called the “Silver Platter Doctrine” where state & local cops (who were not yet restrained by the Fourth Amendment) would kick down the door, seize evidence, and hand it over to federal prosecutors without a warrant, as if on a silver platter.
Are you sure you want to go back to the original Framer’s Constitutions?
Ha,
In NY, they didn’t even put it to a vote, our spineless legislature passed the “safe act” in the middle of the night as a matter of “legislative necessity” what ever that means. This occurred just after Sandy Crook, and they basically outlawed clips over 7 round (later adjusted to over 10, as LEO had a fit) and outlawed all “assault weapons” basically any semi-auto with a grip, and clip was deemed and assault weapon. even flash suppressors are illegal.
oh, and they also make you show your drivers license for ammo, but that was recently rolled back.
Just be thankful this has not gone nation wide.
“Just be thankful this has not gone nation wide”Actually,given the tepid response to registration ect. in NY and Ct.,perhaps going nationwide might just be the thing that wakes up the whole country and gets at best non compliance,let the supposed powers that want to be realize they try and take away birth rights/rights mentioned in bill of rights and reaffirmed there that they will literally have a war on their hands and would be clear who started it and who supported it.Something I hope this country never sees but feel may be inevitable.
Why call them turncoats? The GOP has NEVER fundamentally supported freedom OR liberty ON PRINCIPLE. It has ALWAYS been about votes, public opinion, how a law would impact their REAL constituents (ie – donors, etc.). They are no different from the democrats in this regard and NEVER have been.
They may claim to support the Second Amendment, but the politicians, and the donors who own them, have no interest in an armed working class.
A bumpstock doesn’t increase the rate of fire on a semi-auto anyway, a semi-auto weapon can only fire as fast as you pull the trigger.
If they’re so great why doesn’t the Military and Law Enforcement use them?
The only thing a bumpstock is good for is decreased accuracy, and wasting ammo, but you can impress your friends at the gun range, because it’s tacticool.
You don’t need a bumpstock to impress your friends, you need one of these…
